Q
What would be your advice for a student looking at potentially studying an MBA?
1 - If you're applying to study full-time, have you visited the campus and can you imagine spending a year (or two) of your life there?
A
2 - Will the MBA programme help with your future career goals and does the school have a good track record of supporting students in to the types of jobs you're interested in?
3 - Have you spoken to current students/ recent alums to garner a range of perspectives - pros and cons - of the programme?
4 - Does the class profile seem right for you? The age range, mix of backgrounds, average GMAT, years of work experience etc - can you see yourself meshing well?
5 - Are your nearest and dearest on this journey with you? If you're planning to relocate and knuckle down to study hard for an MBA have you got your partner/ family on side!
Think about five things.
Q Q
What are the benefits to someone who has undertaken an MBA?
for different people. Some find an MBA a useful transition to a new career. Some use an MBA to 'take time out' - maybe to reconsider job options or to work on a business plan for a new company. Some learn core business and finance skills on an MBA that can be implemented in their future work. Some build an MBA network that helps step-change their future career. The benefits are potentially far- reaching!
A
Is it important where you go to study an MBA?
Most top-ranked MBA programmes offer similar course content, but different schools will have strengths in particular management fields or links with specific industries. Pick a school that makes sense for your future career. Without sounding too flippant, which b-school do you want to name-drop when you're in a job interview or at a drinks party in 5 years time?
