THE LONG TERM THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICHESTER
Why Study a Masters Degree at Chichester?
Students choose to study a postgraduate qualification at the University of Chichester because of the many qualities which make the university an ideal place to study.
Unique Learning Environment
Most of our courses are taught in small groups of between 10 to 25 students. This means you will have close working relationships with your tutors and classmates and have more time to ask questions and discuss your work. Small groups enable you to practise your communication and presentation skills in a friendly supportive environment whilst developing your academic knowledge.
High Standards
Mainly due to the learning environment at Chichester, we are ranked second to Oxford and joint with Cambridge for the personal relationships that students have with staff. We are the number 1 modern university in the UK for student satisfaction.

Beautiful Location
We are located on 2 campuses in the south of the UK within easy reach of London and the major UK airports. Chichester is pretty, historic cathedral city with a great arts and cultural scene and a wide variety of restaurants, cafes, bars and entertainment venues. Bognor Regis has grown over the years to become one of the UK’s most popular seaside resorts and has been named
DOMINANCE OF NORTH AMERICAN AND EUROPEAN BUSINESS SCHOOLS
INTERNATIONAL advert20SEPT_International-advert 21/09/2012 09:00 Page 1
Respectable international MBA rankings reveal a simple truth: North American and Western European business schools continue to dominate the MBA world, writes Ross Geraghty.
North America and Europe continue to dominate the world of business schools. A regional breakdown of the 200 elite schools to feature in the 2012/13 QS Global 200 Business Schools Report is telling in this regard. No fewer than 84 schools are North American, with Europe accounting for a further 65.
the sunniest town in England. They are about 20 minutes from each other and there is a frequent bus service between the 2 campuses.

This is echoed in applicant preference.
TopMBA.com research reveals that, though other regions are slowly gaining in popularity, Western business schools remain ahead.
“As countries such as China and South Africa increasingly feature in global economic discussion, MBA applicants are being attracted to local business schools aiming to benefit from developing a cultural understanding and close ties with local employers,” explains Nunzio Quacquarelli, managing director of QS Quacquarelli Symonds and author of the QS
TopMBA.com Applicant Survey 2012.
from the ground-up. Strong scholars will be attracted by the presence of other strong scholars at the institution. But attracting an accomplished cohort of scholars to ‘kickstart’ the process can be difficult in the first place.”
Professor Murali Chandrashekaran is associate dean of professional graduate programs at the University of British Columbia’s Sauder School of Business. For him, the historical context is essential: “Business administration as an academic discipline and modern management practices were born in the West out of necessity to support and propel rapid industrial development at the turn of the 20th century.
“However, at the same time, the top 10 MBA study destinations retain a strong lead in popularity amongst MBA applicants and are almost exclusively Western nations. The only exception is Singapore; a nation well- known for offering western business ideals, as well as strong business education links to Western Europe.”
A Proud Heritage
The MBA began in the US, with Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth creating the first management program in 1900, and Harvard Business School offering the first MBA in 1908 and pioneering the still-dominant case study method in 1920. Chicago introduced the executive MBA in 1943. The first non-US school to offer MBAs was the University of
Western Ontario’s Richard Ivey in 1950.

This heritage is the reason for North American schools’ strength, believes Professor Sridhar Balasubramanian, associate dean for the MBA program at the University of North Carolina’s Kenan-Flagler Business School: “A key reason for this dominance is the key role of business research [including] the development of influential theories and concepts, the establishment of important empirical findings, and the publication of impactful books.

“So, the infrastructure for business education in North America and Europe has long been firmly established and has boomed ever since. While in more recent times other parts of the world have embraced management as a discipline worth serious academic study, the tradition and infrastructure remain much stronger in the West and the knowledge frameworks that continue to be applied by businesses around the world are still Western in their roots.
“Moreover,” he continues, “the established strength of the West is bolstered by dissemination platforms of business knowledge, including academic journals, and by the major accrediting bodies, which are Western in origin.”
Coupled a strong reputation with recruiters, this gives Western schools a continued advantage. This doesn’t rule out Asian business schools competing for talent, particularly with domestic recruiters, but, as Chandrashekaran continues: “The consequence of this well established tradition is a global
acceptance of North American and European MBA and other business degrees as valuable commodities in the global job market.”
An MBA from long-established North American or Western European school, then, often still carries the most weight with recruiters.
Competition Drives Quality
As business schools generally espouse pro-market economic theory, it’s natural that the notion of competition raising quality comes into play. American schools dominated until the 1950s, when European schools such as INSEAD, Manchester and Smurfit in Dublin began seriously challenging – as Asia-Pacific schools may in the future – forcing each institution to raise its game.
Professor Balasubramanian reflects: “Particularly in North America, business schools are locked in intense competition to move ahead in the rankings… one has to run hard to even stay in place. A business school that maintains the status quo will quickly slip behind. This drives rapid innovation in these business schools across different areas.
“Schools outside North America and Western Europe have historically faced a less competitive environment….They have many intelligent and talented students knocking on their doors to get in, and filling up the classes with high quality students has never been a major challenge.
“Schools in North America and Western Europe,” on the other hand, “fight hard over the pool of applicants, and have to constantly differentiate themselves in the marketplace to draw a high-quality cohort of entering students. This
The Asia-Pacific MBA
North America and Europe are being tested harder by Asian business schools. In 2004 there were only 10 Asia-Pacific schools in the QS Global 200 Business Schools Report, so 36 in 2012/13 represents an impressive return.
Simon Evenett, academic director of the St Gallen MBA says: “Across Asia universities are investing considerable sums both to retain their best students and to overseas talent keen to take advantage of opportunities in emerging markets. No one should be surprised as the balance slowly shifts.”
Professor Balasubramanian at UNC Kenan-Flagler agrees: “It must be said that with the entry of new, often privately managed, business schools in countries outside North America and Western Europe, the competitive scenario is changing, and these schools are also transforming themselves much more rapidly than they have in the past.”
As emerging economies become developed economies, driven by the efforts of highly trained business leaders, it will be interesting to see if Asian schools can replicate European schools’ achievements six decades ago.

again drives innovation.”
In recent times Asian schools have improved enough to retain some of the talent that would have previously looked abroad. In cases like CEIBS in China and the Indian School of Business, some have begun to attract overseas talent to their campuses.

STUDY AT CQUNIVERSITY STUDY IN AUSTRALIA
Central Queensland University (CQU), offers international students an incredible amount of fantastic study opportunities.
CQUniversity is a multi-campus progressive Australian university and is committed to providing international students the opportunity to embark on a rewarding and exciting learning journey in preparation for a future career.
What comes to mind when you think of Australia? Is it, by any chance, sandy beaches and a deep azure ocean, cold cans of lager, and barbeques? Perhaps you might add a volume of the Encyclopedia Britannica’s worth of weird and wonderful creatures (amongst which more than a few are poisonous enough to kill you), miles upon miles of unpeopled wilderness, and an almost maniacal love of sport.
Our experience in providing quality learning opportunities and personal and academic support has seen CQUniversity acknowledged as a major provider of higher education to Australian and international students.
It's why students from all over the world have made CQUniversity their first choice.
What can I study? Business, Accounting
There is, undoubtedly an element of truth to these common suppositions. Australia does boast two beaches known as the Eighty Mile Beach, and Ninety Mile Beach (and 10,683 other smaller beaches on its mainland alone), Australians – particularly students – do enjoy a drink on the weekend, and the warm weather does indeed lend itself to the outdoor preparation of food. But this by no means an entire portrait of the country.
CQUniversity’s postgraduate business and accounting programs are designed to expand and build on your existing expertise and skills, in turn, equipping you with everything you need.

In order to study for an undergraduate degree (or a taught master’s degree) in Australia you will need a Higher Education Sector: Temporary Visa (Subclass 573). The process you will need to follow will depend on which assessment level citizens of your country fall under.
Engineering, Mining and Technology
For one thing there is no mention of the country’s strength in higher education. Only the United States and United Kingdom have more institutions in the top 100 of the QS World University Rankings, and they are both have significantly bigger populations, and, accordingly, far more universities.
Every one of the Group of Eight, an alliance between Australia’s leading research universities – think of it as an Antipodean Ivy League – makes it into the top 100, and in total, 25 of the country’s universities

make the top 700 of the rankings. Australian universities are also known to be extremely keen on internationalization, to the extent that only coal, ore and tourism bring more money into the country.
The combination of a keen welcome, high-calibre universities, and a quality of life that hold its own with anywhere in the world has made Australia one of the world’s leading destinations for international students. In 2009, the last year for which OECD figures are available, 257,637 international students studied in Australia, again putting it only behind the US and UK. In terms of the percentage of students from overseas, no other country comes close to Australia’s figure of 21.5%.

There is no federal or state level application system for international students applying to universities in Australia, so you will need to apply directly to the university, most probably online.
