The Only Campus of Its Kind in London

London is one of the world’s leading financial and business hubs. We have been here for decades.

To study business in London as part of a Chicago Booth education is to be at the center of Europe’s financial capital.

At our Robert Rothman, ’77, London Campus, you are surrounded by peers from more than 50 countries across the Europe, Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) region, with access to a network and a set of opportunities that no US-only program can replicate.

Here’s what being part of it means for your education, your network, and your career.

What Studying in London Gives You

What Studying in London Gives You

Why should you study business in London? Because London is one of the world’s most important financial and business cities—and for Booth students, that means the city itself is part of the education.

Market Access

The financial capital of Europe is your recruiting ground.

London is one of the world’s most consequential business ecosystems—home to the European headquarters of the world’s leading banks, asset managers, investment firms, and multinational corporations. What that access means depends on where you are in your career. For EMBA students, it’s peer-level engagement with the executives and institutions shaping global markets. For participants in our Executive Education programs, it’s firsthand experience and connections that will strengthen your decision-making.

International Perspective

Dozens of countries represented in the room changes how you think.

The Sokolov Executive MBA Program cohort at the Rothman Campus represents dozens of countries. When the person challenging your analysis in a class has led organizations across Southeast Asia, restructured businesses in emerging markets, or navigated regulatory environments that don’t appear in any US case study, the quality of the thinking in the room changes. London is where that conversation happens—and being part of it changes how you think about markets, leadership, and global business long after the program ends.

Chicago Booth alumni networking in London

European Network

Thousands of alumni across the region. All connected. All accessible.

More than 3,800 Booth alumni live and work across the EMEA region—in financial centers, government institutions, and growing companies from London to Dubai to Johannesburg. That network is organized, accessible, and active: through alumni clubs across the region, events at the Rothman Campus, and a community of Booth graduates who share a way of thinking and a commitment to staying connected. For students who study in London, that network begins forming from the first week, and it follows them everywhere they go.

Chicago Booth’s Hub in London. A Gateway to EMEA.

The Rothman Campus sits at the center of London’s business district. It’s a short walk from St. Paul’s Cathedral, and it’s the physical home of the Sokolov EMBA Program in Europe and Executive Education programs. It’s also the base from which Booth’s influence extends across the entire EMEA region.

That influence shows up in the research of Booth faculty whose work has shaped economic policy from London to Lagos, and in the alumni leading fintech innovation in the UK, building venture funds across Europe, and heading financial institutions from Zurich to Nairobi.

For students who come here, the Rothman Campus is an entry point into a network and an intellectual tradition that spans continents and compounds over a career.

Opportunities to Study at Booth in London

Booth offers multiple pathways to study in Europe. Whether you’re an EMBA student taking classes across three continents or an executive pursuing a leadership program, there’s a Booth program with a London component built for where you are in your career.

The Robert Rothman, ’77, London Campus

A short walk from St. Paul’s, in the heart of London’s historic financial district, the Rothman Campus is where Chicago Booth’s European presence comes to life. The building sits in Barts Square—one of London’s most distinctive new developments, surrounded by centuries of history and steps from the institutions that define the city’s financial identity.

Inside, state-of-the-art conference facilities, gathering spaces, and classrooms create an environment designed for the kind of rigorous, collaborative thinking that defines a Booth education—in a setting that could only be London. It is a campus that reflects both the city it occupies and the school it represents.

Research That Extends Across the Region

Booth faculty don’t just study the EMEA region. Their research shapes how it operates. Richard H. Thaler’s Nobel Prize–winning work on behavioral economics directly inspired the UK government to establish its Behavioural Insights Team, helping millions of Britons save more for retirement.

Through Chicago Booth Review, faculty continue to weigh in on the pressing questions shaping business, policy, and markets across the EMEA region—from the future of international institutions and the dynamics of global trade, to the role of networks in economic opportunity and the peer dynamics shaping decisions in the European Parliament.

The Rothman Faculty in Residence Program brings Booth’s world-class faculty directly to London, embedding leading researchers and teachers at the Rothman Campus to engage with students, the business community, and the broader EMEA intellectual environment. For students in the region, it means direct access to the same faculty excellence that defines the Booth experience in Chicago, in the city where they’re building their careers.
