The London Business School community plays a central role in shaping student life, with more than 80 student-led clubs covering social, regional and professional interests. These clubs organise everything from casual networking sessions and international professional treks to major conferences, offering countless opportunities to get involved.
Beyond the classroom, LBS’s vibrant community gives students the chance to unwind, step away from lectures and assignments, and connect with like-minded peers.
Here are just a few examples of how our students make the most of everything on offer.

One of my most enriching experiences at LBS has been serving as a Project Consultant for a 10-week consulting project, coordinated by the Impact Consulting Club in partnership with Bain & Company. Our team was tasked with a critical challenge to guide a Mexican NGO seeking to diversify its funding sources and help secure its future growth. The challenge felt both meaningful and intellectually stimulating.
The project itself was a masterclass in cross-programme collaboration. I was part of the Finance workstream and helped build a scenario-based three-statement financial model. This was a unique opportunity to collaborate closely with LBS MBAs who brought experience from firms like J.P. Morgan and McKinsey. Witnessing their experienced approach to problem-solving was very motivating, and I really valued the chance to adopt their best practices.
The experience culminated in a final presentation at Bain’s London office. Guided throughout by a Bain consultant, we transformed raw data into a compelling narrative for the client. Walking into our final meeting, knowing that our deliverables provided data-driven actionable steps for our client, perfectly bridged the gap between LBS coursework and real-world consulting.

I’ve been involved in a mix of clubs and programmes that reflect my interest in luxury, fashion, and business.
One of the most formative experiences has been interviewing for and starting the Walpole Future Leaders Programme. The interview process challenged me to clearly articulate my motivation for pursuing a career in luxury and sharpen my understanding of the industry. Since joining the programme, I have taken part in talks, workshops, and networking events with senior professionals, gaining first-hand exposure to the UK luxury ecosystem and its different career paths.
At university, I joined the RLCC (Retail Luxury & Consumer Club), where I’ve participated in brand talks, panel discussions, and networking events with luxury houses. Being part of the society has allowed me to deepen my understanding of luxury strategy while engaging with students who share similar interests.
Overall, I am happy that LBS provides opportunities for all interests and passions. Even if a club for your own interests doesn’t exist yet, nothing stops you from starting it! In fact, I am one of the founding members of the LBS Beauty society.

Student clubs have been a key part of my experience at LBS so far. With over 80 clubs, it’s been easy to get involved in activities that align with both personal interests and areas I wanted to work on.
I joined the Public Speaking and Debating Society early on because I wanted to become more confident and articulate in how I speak. Sessions are highly interactive, ranging from storytelling and improv to table topics where you’re called on without warning. Being pushed out of my comfort zone in such a supportive environment has made me far more confident speaking in front of others, both inside and outside the classroom.
Alongside this, I’m a junior executive in the LBS Volunteers Club, where we organise initiatives aimed at creating a positive social impact. It’s been a rewarding way to contribute to the wider community while working closely with students across programmes.
Through clubs, I’ve built meaningful connections with people I wouldn’t otherwise have met, all through shared interests outside the classroom.
Caren Tohme, MiM2026
I am currently involved in the Women in Business Club as a Junior ExCo member, working within the Chief of Staff team for the annual EQUALL Conference, Europe’s largest student-led equity event and the flagship conference of the club. EQUALL 2026 will take place on March 6 and will feature inspiring speakers, interactive workshops, and opportunities to connect with and learn from accomplished women across industries. This year’s theme is Rewriting the Rules.
Within the Chief of Staff team, we are a small group of three responsible for shaping the overall conference experience, from logistics-related aspects to creative ideas that enhance value for attendees. We meet weekly as a team and regularly with the wider ExCo, which has been a great way to build strong working relationships. A highlight was the ExCo bonding getaway to Balfour Winery, where I met incredibly warm, supportive, and welcoming people.
The workload has been manageable and has helped me develop skills such as stakeholder management, time management, and communication, all within a positive and collaborative environment. I am currently taking ownership of organising a workshop, including sourcing a speaker, which has been rewarding and has given me meaningful responsibility.
Alongside this, I have also joined the Running Club for several runs. The group is extremely flexible and welcoming across all levels and paces, encouraging me to step outside my comfort zone.
Overall, being involved in student clubs has added real depth to my experience at LBS.
