1 December 2011

Ever thought the world was upside down?

I want to change career direction

I want to set up my own business

I want earn more money/get a better job/be more mobileI want to build a network of contacts

I want to develop international experience

I want to develop my knowledge and experience but I don’t want to break the bank

Is my head in the right place?

• Do you have the discipline to balance the challenging workload of an MBA programme with your existing work or personal obligations?

1 December 2011

Can I afford it?

• An MBA program is one of the most expensive academic decisions you’ll ever make.

• The MBA is an investment and you shouldn’t expect to recoup the costs immediately.

• Is a recession the right time to get an MBA?

While external instability in the financial markets and global economic uncertainty make us uneasy and insecure, they also turn the world into a great classroom laboratory, and give genuine meaning to problem-based readings.

1 December 2011

Do I have enough career experience?

• Most MBA programs require at least three years of work experience as a prerequisite to any application.

• You need to have enough work experience and enough transferable skills to understand why you’re doing the MBA, to be running to something as opposed to running from something.

Do I have the support needed to be successful?

• By the time many students begin pursuing their MBA, they have mortgages, children and other responsibilities that makes study at the post-graduate level an even greater challenge.

• Have the support – be it financial or emotional – of family, spouse or friends necessary to make their one to two years as successful as possible.
