INSPIRING YOU TO BE AN INSPIRATION TO OTHERS
By: Dr Brigitte Nicoulaud, Director of MBA Programmes. A
ston Business School is recog- nised worldwide as a leading centre of business education. Our MBA programme has presti-
gious triple accreditation from AMBA (UK), EQUIS (Europe) and AACSB (USA) which puts us in an elite group of the top 1% of global business schools. We care deeply about encouraging a collab-
orative learning community in which aspiring leaders develop the tools and confidence to solve tomorrow’s business challenges Our programme has been designed to help
professionals earn a world-class MBA, enhance their employability and accelerate their careers. However, our MBAs tell us that our unique three-way approach to career management is what really sets us apart, and why The Econo- mist ranked our careers service one of the strongest in the UK .
• Our MBA Careers Adviser coaches students in developing the skills and strategies that will help them set and achieve their career goals. In building an effective job search strategy, Aston MBA students pursue a well-structured programme of activities which give them an understanding of industries they may not have previously considered, and access to corporate leaders to inspire their next move. • Mindful Global Manager (MGM) is the personal development component of the Aston MBA that hands control of professional deve opment back to candidates. Expertly designed to increase workplace impact, MGM develops self-awareness, encourages a global perspective and develops lifelong skills to keep candidates at the top of the career ladder. • Finally, the MBA Business Consultancy is the culmination of candidates’ business education at Aston. It showcases their management abilities in a consultancy position to produce a client report under the expert supervision of an Aston academic. We support our candidates
102
as they work with the organisation for 8-12 weeks, working on live management issues and developing links with employers and industry.
Our MBA graduates are enjoying amazing suc- cess in a wide range of industries and seniorities across the globe, typically nearly doubling their salaries a year after graduation. Companies who have recently recruited Aston MBA include Credit Suisse, KPMG, PwC, Rolls Royce, Fer- rari, Nike, BP, Hyundai Motor Company, Sam- sung, LG Electronics and Mars. These MBAs join our growing network of 12,000 active in- ternational alumni.
In the current worldwide economic climate,
and with ever-increasing demands placed on our work and home lives, we are seeing increasing interest from candidates in more flexible study pathways. Some students prefer the flexibility of studying online as they can continue work- ing and earning a salary whilst gaining their triple-accredited MBA that will launch their ca- reer to the next level. The Aston Online MBA is a 27-month pro- gramme suitable for candidates of all levels, who seek the rigorous academic content and ca- reer development opportunities of our full-time MBA, but need the flexibility to study anytime and anywhere. It follows exactly the same cur- riculum as the full-time MBA, offering the same core modules, electives, specialisations and project. Students have 24/7 access to our VLE
(virtual learning environment) that hosts live webinars, videos, interactive learning materials and exercises. Individual and group coursework is submitted online and exams can usually be taken in the student’s home country. Online stu- dents immediately become part of a global and supportive network of aspiring business leaders, benefitting from virtual connections with peers, professors and the corporate world. Whether you choose to study online, or im- merse yourself in the full on-campus MBA ex- perience, you will find that Aston is a friendly and supportive environment with an interna- tionally diverse cohort made-up of many differ- ent nationalities. Our candidates are made to feel welcome and make great, lasting friendships during their studies and far beyond. We put our MBA candidates at the very heart of everything we do. Behind every MBA candidate is a team of academics, career adviser, personal develop- ment coach, project manager and support staff who are working round-the-clock to ensure the candidate is fully supported in enjoying a rich and rewarding MBA experience with us.
“What set the Aston MBA apart for me was how it challenged me to think about business
globally. It was very rewarding to collaborate with people
from all over the world; sharing their perspectives really brought my MBA alive.” Kishimi Dogo, Aston Full-time MBA, Nigeria.
