For those looking to start an MBA, there has never been more choice. There are hundreds of schools offering MBA courses to choose from, with different styles, academic emphasis and assessment styles. One of the most prominent distinctions between MBA programs though is the divide between North American (the US and Canada) and European schools (with courses in UK, France, Spain, the Netherlands, Germany and so on).

With fees ranging up to six digit figure sums, choosing to enrol in an MBA program can be an enormous decision, particularly if you’re leaving a well-paid career or trying to juggle work and family commitments. Regardless, more and more executives, students and business people are taking the time to earn an MBA.

If you’re looking to get into Business School, you’re certainly not alone. Going to b-school, whether for undergraduate study or to do your MBA, is becoming an increasingly popular study option. Business school teaches students the practical application of theory into practice, as well as providing access to a network of contacts. In this post, I’ll offer some comprehensive suggestions for getting into the business school of your choice.

If you are interested in earning an MBA but are unsure of whether you would like to remain in your current city, move elsewhere in your country or make a move abroad, having a better understanding of your options can help you make the right choice for you. The number of business schools around the globe is continuing to grow, though their reputations, teaching styles, tuition cost and the post-graduation opportunities still vary quite a lot depending on region and country.

The decision to return to school and earn a higher degree is not something to be taken lightly. Regardless of whether you have already gained 15 years of work experience or are considering a transition straight from a Bachelor’s to an MBA, there are many factors you should take into consideration before making a final selection regarding a program.

Business schools are an increasingly prominent force in higher education across the US, Europe and beyond. With more and more students look to study business, the career opportunities for teaching business students are growing. For professors with expertise in economics, social sciences, management and more, teaching at a business school can make an attractive career prospect.

Every year, students and professionals alike enrol in MBA programs around the world to give them an edge in an increasingly competitive job market. Once you’ve weighed up the benefits of an MBA and made the decision to do one, the next question becomes: where?

We’ve already explored Spain, China and Turkey – next stop in our series exploring top destinations for students is Italy!

Earlier this month we wrote about the top 5 reasons to study in the Iberian Peninsula; the high quality of education, the Spanish language, the culture, lifestyle, landscape and entertainment are factors that draw people towards study in Spain. Next up, Turkey is the second country we want to talk about in our series exploring top destinations for students from around the world.

Choosing a destination to study abroad in, either for a semester or the entire degree, can be an extremely daunting task. Mainland China is currently home to thousands of international students looking for an international education. Since the 1990s, China has been rapidly expanding its number of universities and higher education programs. This expansion runs parallel to the large economic growth that China continues to experience, making Chinese universities an attractive destination for international students.

Spain is the first country we will be highlighting in a new series exploring top destinations for students from around the world. Spain is one of the most popular countries in Europe for students interested in either short-term or longer exchange programs, as well as for those looking to earn a full degree in a foreign country.

As application season approaches, potential students around the world are narrowing their searches to find programs that perfectly fit their needs and interests. For those interested in earning a globally oriented MBA or Executive MBA, the first inclination is often to scan lists of programs located in the United States or United Kingdom.

If you’re already in the midst of your career and are interested in climbing the ladder out of middle management, it might be time to head back to school. More and more executives are taking the time to earn an MBA, and the benefits of doing so are numerous, including increased salary, promotions, new job offers and global networks of other top professionals in your field. Before you start sending off applications, however, it can pay off (literally) to do your research regarding which program is best for you.

Although the MBA tends to be viewed as strongly practice-oriented and the PhD as more theoretical, there are no strict lines regarding what one can do after earning either of these degrees. In a previous post, MBA vs. PhD in Economics, we highlighted the ongoing debate many people have regarding the suitability of each degree for various career paths, and how to make a decision that fits your interests.

We spoke with Dr. Dolan about his crossover interests in Russian literature and economics (and how he made that combination work to his advantage), his experience working in Moscow during the last years of the Soviet Union and why he recommends the MBA degree, among other topics.
