Which country is best for my MBA?

Submitted by Jeremy Smith
on

I live in the states, but I'm interested in international management. I'd also like to use my MBA as a way to travel the world.

I know the US has a lot of top programs, but I think that an MBA overseas would help me with my career goals. I'm considering programs in Asia and Europe. Are there any particular countries I should consider? Any I should avoid?

There are many top business schools in Europe and Asia. Schools like INSEAD in France, IE in Spain, and London Business School are considered to be some of the best in the world and rank with the top schools in the US.  Each have int. managment programs and grads get jobs with a lot of top companies.

Chinese Universities have partnered up with US business schools to offer joint MBAs. MIT sloan has partnered with Tsinghua in Beijing to offer a joint International MBA. 

Some of these schools may have some foreign language requirements for admission. I know INSEAD expects you to have "practical" knowledge of a foreign language and tests you before being admitted.

Hello. I am working with an IT firm in india since 4 years. I am hoping to do an MBA abroad and I have heard that Australia is the current student destination. I was targeting B schools with a strong curriculum which would add value to my career. Which other countries should I look into?

It is true that currently many students prefer to go to Australia to study. That is because degrees from Australian universities are recognized all over the world. The Australian government also sees to it that the universities maintain their high standards. Also you can work part time up to 20 hours per week! And an added bonus is that you can work full time during holidays.

By seeing that the universities are maintaining standards you mean they accredit the unis? Something like an AICTE?

"I think the top 5 countries to study are the USA, UK, Singapore, Australia and Canada! However for international students UK is a bit risky as it is expensive and it is quite difficult to get a visa as well. But it has an amazing global business environment. USA is again a country filled with opportunities. Though in US they consider your quality of work experience and give it more preference rather than plain academics. So if you participated in a lot of extracurricular activities then it would work for you. With Canada you will have a lot of job opportunities. Singapore provides a very competitive and a productive education. If you are looking for IT management then I would suggest Singapore. There is nothing left to say about Australia as XYZ has already put it so well.  "
