First AMBA accredited MBA with a paid business placement to be offered by a UK Business School


Portsmouth Business School has launched the first UK AMBA accredited MBA with a paid business placement, which will provide students joining the programme this September the opportunity to earn whilst they learn.


The Association of MBAs (AMBA), the leading accreditation body in Europe and, increasingly, across the world provides an independent and internationally recognised certification of quality.


The MBA with Business Placement has been specifically designed for students from overseas who wish to extend their studies through paid work experience. It provides them with the opportunity to work for up to 12 months in a UK or international organisation after their initial year of study – and the entire programme can be undertaken on a Tier 4 student visa.


It is highly likely that the annual salary earned during the placement will equate to the cost of MBA tuition fees so students can reclaim their investment almost straightaway. There are also generous scholarships


for self-funding students who apply before the end of May 2012.


Dean of Portsmouth Business School, Professor Gioia Pescetto, said: “We are very excited to launch this new MBA programme, which will allow students to apply their newly developed knowledge and skills working for an organisation in their second year and undertaking a supervised work-based project.


“An AMBA accredited MBA is a prestigious qualification and the Business Placement strengthens it further. This additional professional experience will leave our MBA graduates in a strong position.”


Successful entrepreneur and Portsmouth Business School MBA alumnus, Prems Srampical, is clear about the value of a year’s paid placement for students. “This is a great opportunity for Portsmouth’s international MBA students. It’s a competitive world now where ever you live, and gaining a year of paid business experience in Britain will strengthen their CVs considerably.”


Now the director of two companies, Colvill Banks and Whitecrow Research, which made a net profit before tax of $2 million on


a turnover of $6million, Prems Srampical attributes much of his later success to the skills acquired while studying for his MBA.


“The course helped me to work and collaborate with people from other cultures which is essential in a global business environment. The joint projects undertaken with classmates from Asia, Europe and America have certainly helped me to better understand my varied clients. ”
