THE BENEFIT OF AN MBA – How Can It Help Your Career?


What can an MBA do for you? The best way to know about the true value of an MBA is to ask students and alumni about the postgraduate management degree. The Association of MBAs’ Global AMBAssadors talk about their MBA experience and how it has helped in their career.


Prior to his MBA, the Association of MBAs’ Global AMBAssador, Bruce Cooper was working as a consultant in France, assisting foreign companies wishing to secure contracts in the French marketplace. After seven years he decided that an MBA was the “next logical step”.


The 2008 financial crisis had hit the steel industry hard, and whilst he was working on one project, the next job in the pipeline kept getting postponed, which as he says “is a risk when you’re in consultancy”. He also wanted a change, to “be part of a company with objectives and an international perspective”.


“For the money you pay for an MBA, you get many things back - most importantly the quality of the teaching and the careers service,” says Bruce. “The value of an accredited MBA lies in it being recognised as guaranteeing high standards.”


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.
