Bruce believes the MBA brings together the experience you have with the qualifications you have and fully prepares you for an international career. He says the benefits are many and include, “the worldwide network established within the class, the experience shared through working with my cohort, the many business tools presented by the professors and the ability to know how to tackle almost any problem that may arise in everyday work situations.”
The British citizen chose to stay in France for his MBA and completed a full-time International MBA at EM Lyon in 2011. He says that his 31 classmates represented 13 nationalities, and that many students came from the engineering industry.
“For them, the MBA is the perfect cap to their career as companies often look for employees who have specialised in a certain field, but also have an overview of how to run a company.”
The skills Bruce gained from his MBA will now help him in the new role he took on in August, as Executive Development Consultant at AirBusiness Academy.
Global AMBAssador Nidhi Singh says the benefits of doing an MBA are immense. “It has given me a unified vision, as the MBA put together all my past experiences and has given me a path for the future.”
“It opens a whole new world of strategic thinking and leadership styles. The case based learning brings a plethora of new information about companies in other sectors, their issues, challenges and achievements.”
Nidhi is a technology graduate from India who is completing her full-time MBA at Bristol Business School. A software engineer by profession, Nidhi worked with one of the leading IT firms of India. Before starting her MBA she worked with a small NGO promoting Adult Literacy and women empowerment, and formed a small Fair Trade group in India, working with the underprivileged artisan groups in rural parts of country to provide them access to fair wages and equality by promoting their handmade products in the National/ International markets.
She says the MBA helps give students an important global and general overview of management
“Often we are stuck in our departments and think only about sales, marketing or finance. It is imperative that we think about the global picture, on how a particular business impacts the society.”
Ashridge Business School MBA alumni, Nausherwan Akram is originally from Pakistan. He chose to take an MBA after more than ten years’ experience in business development, strategic planning and project management.
Naush says he believes the MBA was an “excellent opportunity for the sharing of great ideas and meeting of hearts and minds”.
Naush’s MBA allowed him to steer and direct his career. Before his MBA Naush was founder and manager of a professional education consultancy in Pakistan, since his MBA Naush has taken up the role of Global Restructuring Manager with ESAB Holdings Ltd., a UK based global leader in welding and cutting.
Marketing and Communications professional, Adela Papac is completing her MBA at Westminster and says it has changed the way she looks at business, and has given her additional confidence in dealing with a wide variety of complex issues.
“After being in business for so many years, I have to admit that I had developed a degree of complacency and a bit of an attitude that everything you need in business, you learn through your work experience, and not in the business school. The MBA was the right challenge to prove just how wrong I was!
“The MBA shifts your mind to think differently. It not only integrates and properly organises knowledge you already have, it also gives you a lot of new insights, challenges your old beliefs and offers a new perspective on things.” To find out more about the Association of MBAs, to research MBA study and to find an accredited MBA programme, visit
