Introduction

A full-time MBA requires dedication and commitment throughout the duration of the programme. MBA students have the opportunity to immerse themselves in a stimulating yet intense environment where they can develop and build their personal and professional skills.

Basic Structure

– Two-year format (principally North America): In the first core phase, students learn the essentials of management, while in the specialisation phase they can choose from a broad range of electives, conduct a supervised business consulting project with other students or take on an internship at a company or organisation.

– One-year format (principally Europe): In the accelerated format, students dedicate the entire ten to fifteen months to the programme. In addition, students can take advantage of the flexibility of the programme to pursue the electives of their choice and undertake an internship.

Content:

Full-time MBA courses are designed to prepare students to take their careers to new levels. The courses offer in-depth knowledge on a range of different topics, enabling candidates – organised into workgroups – to absorb a great deal of knowledge over a short period of time. Candidates benefit from a pool of valuable skills and experiences through these well-rounded courses. Programmes are usually divided into terms or semesters, whereby core courses are held in the first phase and the electives in the second. Towards the end of the programme, students are required to write a report on their business project or internship to demonstrate to their academic supervisor that they have applied their theoretical knowledge to the actual business world.

Location:

The full-time MBA usually requires candidates to relocate to the university campus where classes are held. This type of programme is best suited to individuals who are ready to explore new regions and opportunities.

Benefits:

– Course completion over a fixed period of time, allowing the best learning experience

– Wider access to highly qualified teaching resources, networking and career services

– Option of exploring new ventures and opportunities in a new city or country

-Greater possibility to enter a new career or work in a different region

– Increased probability that salary expectations will improve

– Enhanced family life as all members live, work and play on the same campus

– Focused internship that could lead to a larger window of employability

-Connect to an international and diverse student body.

Drawbacks:

– Courses follow an intensive schedule, often placing high demands on students

– Living on a student budget while managing tuition fees and living expenses could require more discipline than expected

– Entrance exam is more competitive than the Executive MBA

– Students are away from the job market for more than a year.
