Why Study Online

Management Skills


Knowledge imparted in our MBA program extends out to developing managerial skills for students.  These skills provide the essentials for dealing with real-time situations pertaining to management and problem resolution.  You are not only equipped to enact a managerial role but also facilitated in grasping the core responsibilities of your organisation. "The MBA introduces students to the various business disciplines and prepares them for general management roles".

Developing business expertise


Our MBA provides an additional advantage for students from nonbusiness backgrounds. By earning an MBA degree, you increase your practical knowledge in the field of business administration. Even after completing your MBA, you can continue your doctorate in any other discipline. An MBA will give you the "chance to develop a wide range of general business knowledge and a broad base of technical skills in a relatively short period of time".

Starting your own business


An ideal MBA program helps you become business savvy. The skill set taught in the MBA provides you with hands-on training for dealing with real work business problems. Eventually, you can branch out as an independent entrepreneur: running your very own successful business. "Research has shown that the failure rate for small businesses started by MBAs is about 50 per cent less than the standard failure rate".

Competitive advantage


Our MBA program prepares students as highly qualified leaders.  The specialized skills and leadership qualities taught in MBA programs provide you with a competitive advantage over others.  Most of the leading business organisations prefer to hire MBAs for higher management positions. "Employers report that people who have undertaken an MBA tend to be more confident in the workplace, as well as more able to influence other workers, due to their high level of credibility".

Career Advancement


An MBA degree helps you quickly climb up the corporate ladder with a handsome salary package alongside a respectable designation. High-performing successful MBAs are more likely to reach top management levels of Fortune 500 companies and other corporate areas. "It is estimated that 70% of the MBA graduates worldwide are senior managers or board directors".

Job Security


An MBA degree provides a combination of elective and specialized courses that train candidates to handle complex business situations. Thus, having an MBA degree assures the sustainability of your job in the organisation. The demand for MBAs rides high even during a global economic recession. "MBA grads are desirable in any job market; an MBA will give you the opportunities you need to advance in the business world".

Career Change


An MBA provides you with the cushion of switching your career. An MBA with a particular specialization makes it easier for you to move across industries. "Many, if not most applicants to full-time MBA programs plan to make significant career changes, which is one of the reasons they are applying to business schools in the first place".

Business Connections and Networking


Social networking during the MBA academic term helps in establishing business contacts and referrals. In the long run, you can avail of these contacts to improve your business position in the market.
