GECS Blog Newsletter     MBA - Know all about geographically portable management degree  "Generally, graduates applying to MBA programmes are those who want to advance their careers, make a career change or move into entrepreneurship." What are typical reasons for doing an MBA? For some, an MBA is a great way to get on the track to a position in their current line of work with a little more responsibility and maybe a few more perks as well. MBA programs help students to build management and leadership skills that will help them work in higher level positions, even as executives and CEOs. While an MBA isn't a guarantee of getting a position in management, it certainly doesn't hurt, as many businesses and corporations see it as a definite asset when working to fill these positions. What are the advantages of doing an MBA? In a nutshell, your job prospects are likely to be improved, you can expect an increased salary upon your return to work (depending on the sector, it could be 100 per cent improved – or more!) and you'll create a useful network of contacts (fellow students, lecturers and even speakers invited to campus) who could help you throughout your career. Most business schools also have very strong alumni networks. Employers usually look favorably on the MBA qualification because they can be assured that those who have studied for one will have the right knowledge and skills to be able to work in their organization. This is because the MBA focuses entirely on business-related issues such as finance, marketing, operations, technology, accounting, business strategy, organizational behavior, economics and entrepreneurship  Where to do MBA? Perhaps one of the most important things to consider when choosing an MBA program is what you expect to get out of it after you've completed the program. Figure out if getting an MBA will give you the experience and skills you'll need to reach your goals or if you would be better served with more work experience or a few shorter courses in concentrated areas. You'll also need to decide if your school of choice offers a program that is specialized enough to help you get headed in the right direction. Each school is different and another program may suit your needs better, so do your research carefully. Finally, it's important to consider the amount of real world experience you'll get through any program. Some offer internships and networking opportunities while others are geared towards those who have already been working in the business sphere. What are the different specializations in MBA? All MBAs hold certain core attributes that are valued by employers seeking to hire the managers of the future, and general MBAs teach their students to think strategically and analytically. However, if you add to this a specialization that matches with future career goals then the combination can fast track a candidate to senior management.

Generally, a first degree will be required, and at least three years' work experience. Many business schools will also require you to sit the Graduate Management Admissions Test (GMAT) when you apply. When is the right time to do an MBA? Most entrants to MBA courses are already managers of some description. MBAs are designed to allow people to progress further in their chosen careers, or make a career switch – not to start at the bottom. It's unusual to start an MBA course immediately after graduating, unless there are very special circumstances (maybe because you've been running or helping to run the family business since you were ten), and most accredited courses will require you to have at least three years' work experience before applying. Part of the appeal of doing an MBA course is coming into contact with fellow students who can share their business experiences, which would be impossible if everyone was fresh out of university – you're expected to learn from them and gain from their experience as well as that of the lecturers.
