What is an MBA?

Master of Business Administration (MBA) is an internationally recognized degree, which has become one of the most popular professional degree programs in the contemporary world. MBAs are mostly taught in English and prepare students for careers in business and management by helping them develop technical managerial and leadership skills. Students develop these skills by working on real-world consulting projects and exploring different areas of the business field. The core subjects studied as part of an MBA program include accounting and finance, economics, marketing and operations. MBA programs usually offer students the opportunity to pick optional subjects as well, which allows students to dive deeper into areas that interest them the most and are relevant to their career aspirations.

Higher Education Institutions that offer MBA programs are highly likely to require students to have completed an internship at an organization or to have a few years of professional work experience.

Executive MBAs are also available at Institutions globally. They are different from the traditional MBA because they are aimed specifically at individuals who have extensive professional experience.

Benefits of an MBA

Having graduated with an MBA degree students have a wide choice of career options. They can find employment across different industries in both the public and private sectors and are not strictly limited to a career in business. MBAs also provide students with the opportunity to explore different business functions, such as accounting, operations, marketing, etc., and understand how each of them works. This increases their resilience and flexibility and enables them to work in different departments of an organization.

Throughout their programs, students gain practical experience and valuable skills as well as tackle challenges faced by business professionals in a real-world business setting by working on consulting projects. They develop important skills and knowledge thanks to the collaborative work with classmates which is common in MBA programs.

MBA programs also offer multiple opportunities for students to expand their network. Meeting people who they may collaborate with in the future creates many professional opportunities, such as finding a new job, transitioning to another industry or starting a business.

Additionally, the completion of an MBA degree is a prerequisite for quicker career progression and higher salaries. Individuals become more likely to land jobs high up in the organizational hierarchy, such as executive positions, or find employment abroad by completing an MBA degree program.

Last but not least, there are numerous part-time and online MBA degree programs, which offer high flexibility. Such programs enable individuals who are currently developing their professional careers to fit their studies into their busy schedules. Students on such programs are able to do the required work at the most convenient time and place for them without having to commit a full year (or two) to their studies. Sometimes MBA programs may be offered in the form of a hybrid between online and on-campus delivery, which provides the best of both worlds. Students enjoy the flexibility of an on-line program but also get that on-campus experience.

MBA Structure

The average duration of a full-time MBA program is 18 months (or about 2 years). However, 1-year MBA programs are gaining popularity around the world. It is important to note that the duration of MBA programs may be largely influenced by the mode of study (part-time or full-time) and the type of the program (e.g. online or hybrid).

The traditional MBA is followed by EMBAs, which take 20 months to complete, and professional MBAs, which take 26 months to complete.

    Great place to study

    This is definitely a show stopper when it comes to IUBH and it’s probably what most visitors come here for. Stunning buildings and lots of great spots for pictures. This place definitely made me miss my college years! Insightful tutors in and around the campus and makes them market ready.

    Great

    I like how the university offers hybrid options for those who want to complete a semester in their home country, while also taking care of the finances and VISA requirements in the meantime. This saved 6 months’ worth of time for me and I could add an additional work experience to my ballot.

    Varsha
    Amazing first semester from India.

    I have started my MBA and first semester is online that I’m doing from my home country India but i can’t wait to go on campus to complete the course there. As per my online experience with university so far, I like the university because of the course material it is providing which is good and it’s examination pattern which is so different from India i.e. you just have to understand the basics of the concept and not have to mug up the whole theory. I have recommended my colleague and he have also joined the university with me, i would further recommend to all my knowns ones.

    Fantastic course for online and offline hybrid studies. So, I’ve completed the first 6 months of online studies and looking forward to studying on campus. It’s been a great learning curve for me personally. Especially, learning about International Marketing was the highlight for me.
