Advice for Applicants Based on the Results of TopMBA.com Research

Over 100,000 people a year choose to study for an MBA all over the world. With young professionals recognizing that there are no "jobs for life", an MBA can provide skills to make an individual more marketable and to provide greater career choice.

If you are interested in becoming an international manager, you may soon join the ranks of qualified MBAs. But business schools are not all the same. You need to carefully research your choice of school to ensure that it matches your personal requirements.

A systematic process for making your business school choice should be adopted. QS World MBA Tour and Topmba.com conduct annual research of 400 business schools, 50,000 MBA applicants and 500 MBA recruiters to assist you and some of the findings are summarized below.

Step 1: Why should I take an MBA?

The very first step is to analyze your personal motivations for taking an MBA. Are you a career switcher, or a career progresser? Do you want to carry on working whilst you take your MBA, or do you want to focus on your studies and consider your options? Is a jump in salary what matters most, or do you seek international experience? Is your primary goal to broaden your education and your horizons, or to develop specialist skills for career enhancement? An honest self-assessment will save you a great deal of time and energy and help you make a more focused selection of schools.

Our research demonstrates that MBA applicants around the world take an MBA for career related reasons. Year after year, MBA applicants have reported that 'improving career prospects' and 'learning new skills' are the main motivators to take an MBA.
