The master of Business Administration (MBA) is fast becoming the qualification of choice for ambitious executives or anyone wanting to make the jump into management.
Fees for MBAs often range well into six digits, but they can bring big rewards. Many see the cost as an investment in the future.
The course is designed to give a comprehensive understanding of all aspects of business, increase your efficiency and equip you with essential managerial skills.
As the MBA is seen by many recruiters as the sign of a committed, competent and resourceful manager, it can also seriously improve your chances of promotion or getting that dream job.
One-year full-time programmes are available but most local courses are part time. Different part-time courses have classes at different times, so students should pick one that matches their schedule. If you work irregular hours or travel frequently, a distance-learning or online programme might be a more suitable option.
