LBS man. It’s two years and a traditional MBA experience. The other two don’t compare

If you want to stay in UK, Oxford. LBS is great but it’s 2 years of expense and opportunity cost for the same relative UK placements. LBS does have better US recruiting tho, but at that point, you might as well go to a U.S. school.
Is it really the same placements though, really? Plus you’re living in Oxford… rather than London
As someone who did Oxford undergrad, but INSEAD MBA, I would say LBS (assuming it is the MBA you want. Only LBS and INSEAD are internationally competitive European MBA programs. Having said that, being an ‘Oxford Man’ does have benefits but anyone that actually knows about MBAs will know it is not Oxford’s best programme.

i 2nd the “oxford man” thing. This year’s US News rankings really showed just how powerful a school’s parent brand can be. Although Oxford tanked in FT rankings, we gotta remember that Oxford’s MBA is an anomaly because it’s a social impact school - students go there to pursue nobler goals than IB or consulting so salaries are lower (highest weighted score for FT rankings) - which drags them down. But oxford is still Oxford.

We need a lot more information. What’s your background? What are your goals? Do you want to work in the US or the UK?
Stanford name is bigger than both of those globally in my opinion. What’s your background ? If you want to learn , mba is useless
Oxford is amazing but it’s mba program is new , thus not as big yet. Their mba program is the weakest program out of the entire university . I was picking Oxford but was recommended to go to insead instead
LBS hands down
