An MBA can accelerate the global careers of its students by teaching them how to manage and compete in a corporate environment or as an entrepreneur anywhere around the world. Management and leadership ability are qualities that retain value and an MBA education helps to blend and balance the teaching of management skills with the development of strong personal values and business ethics.


Now you know the value of an MBA and how it can help to enhance your employability and realise your career aspirations, students need to decide where to study their MBA and choose the mode of study. Students might choose to study all or part of their MBA in a different country which enables them to get international experience whilst simultaneously introducing them to new markets and building a rich international network. Or you might choose to study part-time


so you can continue working or by distance-learning because the business school you choose is in a different region or country.


At the Association of MBAs Fair in London on Saturday, 21 April, a large representation of UK and international business schools come together to provide information on their MBA programmes to assist potential MBA students decide which MBA fits their career aspirations. For the first time this year we are including panel discussions from top business schools and employers that look at the factors to be considered when choosing an MBA; what recruiters are looking for in an MBA; funding and tips on how to get in to an MBA programme. Our impartial guide to MBA study has more information at www.ambaguide.com.


Association of MBA accredited programmes require that


students have three years relevant management experience, because we regard an MBA very much as a post-experience qualification. You learn as much from your cohort as you do from your faculty.


A typical MBA in the UK for example would have an average of 40 nationalities from all different sectors. There is a huge amount of learning around core topics such as strategy, marketing, HR and so on, but these are set within a variety of contexts such as geography and sectors. An HR Manager from the manufacturing sector in China will bring a different perspective to an HR Manager from the IT sector in India and this is then complimented by the experience of an Engineering Manager from Moscow. The richness of the learning environment is incredibly unique.


The fact that an individual has completed a quality MBA immediately differentiates them. One of the key values of the MBA is that it equips the individual to analyse very complex situations and identify opportunities to galvanise people and then drive an organisation forward. It is this that employers recognise as a value and also gives MBA graduates the entrepreneurial confidence to set up their own business.
