Obtaining an MBA qualification is a paramount issue. The growing demand has had a significant impact on the number of providers in Europe.
For example, the MBA market in Austria, Germany and Switzerland covers around 120 providers and 150 programmes. In the UK, MBA education has almost doubled in the last ten years, with more than 170 programmes available.
The range of master's programmes is becoming wider every day. Some brother cell phone list schools offer a "junior MBA" for students
who have just graduated from university and on the other hand an "executive MBA" for managers with ten years of practical business experience. In terms of format, full-time and part-time programmes, distance learning or modular formulas are available and European schools are increasingly offering an integrated approach, which adapts the format to the needs of the learners.
In addition, most European schools now offer specialized master's degree programs, including in luxury brand management, fashion or sports.
EFMD's philosophy regarding MBA programs can be summarized as "There is no best school, but rather MBA programs that fit an individual's needs and expectations." Needless to say, there are strict institutional quality criteria for EFMD membership, and even more stringent criteria for the EQUIS Quality Label.
Choosing an MBA program is a highly individual task. At the institutional level, the ratio of applicants to places is often a good indicator, as well as average GMAT scores, faculty ratings by students and the percentage of foreign students and faculty. Student and graduate ratings of program content and career services can also be a good predictor of a particular MBA program.
