A
n MBA can boost your career and professional networks. It gives you the management toolkit and confidence to climb the ladder to
leadership in your own profession, switch ca- reers, or be entrepreneurial and start up a new business. To make a success of this professional, financial and personal investment, you need to be sure you are enrolling in a quality MBA. The Association of MBAs Student of
the Year sums up what impact the degree had on him. “The MBA has equipped me with comprehensive knowledge, tools, experiences, networks
and lifelong friendships,” says
Husameldin Elnasri from Lancaster University Management School. “Today's MBA programmes are helping
students understand and appreciate diversity, ex- change cultures and rediscover their leadership potential,” saya Elnasri. "With organisations be- coming increasingly global and diverse, the lat- ter set of skills is particularly important for the managers of tomorrow."
Elnasri chose to study for a full-time MBA
to further his management career having moved from the not-for-profit sector to the corporate sector in his homeland of Sudan. His plans are to return home and set up a business or social en- terprise. Elnasri left his family back home while he studied for his MBA full-time at Lancaster University Management School. He says ac- creditation was an important factor in choosing where he studied for his MBA. “Studying for an MBA involves a lot of com- mitment both financially and personally and so I wanted to choose a business school that I could trust and who offered a programme that was of recognised high quality.” The Association of MBAs accreditation en- sures that an MBA programme is of the highest quality and relevant to the changing world of business. The criteria for accreditation ensure the MBA programme meets rigorous standards of management training and that the faculty, stu- dents and curriculum are of the highest quality. The Association of MBAs detailed assessment process is conducted by an independent panel of senior business school academics who focus purely on the business school’s MBA programme. The criteria upon which MBA programmes
are judged are constantly revised and updated by the Association’s International Accreditation Advisory Board to reflect the changing nature of management and business. The Association’s research and partnerships also help inform its
New European Economy
accreditation criteria, which then ensure that accredited schools are including the latest social, environmental and cultural management re- quirements in their courses.
Professionals interested in an MBA can
choose from the 700 MBA programmes at 199 business schools worldwide that have received accreditation from the Association of MBAs.
