MBA from UK-Ratings and requirements Dr.T.P.Sethumadhava Recent findings reveal that Indian students are more interested to join MBA in UK. But they are having apprehension about the ratings of the MBA programme conducted by different business schools. Of the 12,0000 students graduating from programmes in UK each year, fifty-four per cent are graduated from the thirty-six programmes accredited by AMBA. Accredited courses are listed in the website www.mba.org. Those schools that regularly feature in published rankings are likely to be good providers, but do not pay too much attention to their position at anyone time. Always monitor MBA programme accreditation as an indicator of quality and discuss with school authorities and its MBA alumni about their experiences and achievements. The Higher Education Funding Councils (HEFCE) assess departments on teaching and research through continuous procedures and their ratings are available. Teaching Quality Assessment (TQA) exercise focuses on the quality of teaching and learning in specific subjects. Six different aspects of course provision and management is graded on a five-point scale from unsatisfactory to excellent. There is maximum score of 24 points for any subject reviewed. Higher the score, the course is considered to be more effective. For further information visit http://www.qaa. To judge the quality of research, the funding bodies will conduct an UK-wide Research Assessment Exercise (RAE) in every five years. The RAE uses a process of 'peer review', where distinguished academics in a particular subject including international academics review the quality of the work of their fellow researchers. For further information visit http://www.hero. Self-assessment UK offers wide range of MBA programmes than any other country. So a student needs to search thoroughly to find the best business school. British council has formulated series of questionnaires to help the students in this regard. Ask employers in India and alumni which schools they respect. Do you want a 'specialist' MBA or a general MBA with electives in certain subjects? Consider whether you are looking for an international career or seeking a better understanding of the dynamics of your firm, which will affect the type of the course you choose.Is it important for you to study on a programme with an international faculty and students? Think about the size and culture of the school, the content of its programme, the facilities it offers and whether you would like to live and study there. If you need to combine work and study, distance learning is the best option. Once you have reviewed the above parameters you can search for courses on: www.educationuk. 1. Always ask the institution how their MBA is priced. 2. Apply early - overseas candidates should make sure that their application is with the institution well before the closing date. 3. You should confirm whether they require GMAT? If they do, try to take the test by March of the proposed year of entry, and register as early as possible. 4. Visit the local British Council office or website www.mba.org. Eligibility criteria A degree or its professional equivalent, at least three years' managerial work experience, GMAT score of at least 500 for full-time IELTS band of 6.5 or a TOEFL score of at least 600 are the entrance requirements for MBA programme. Institutions want to know that you have not only fulfilled all these conditions, but have excelled in them. Your personal characteristics are also important, and an academic reference and several essays may also be asked for. The assessment will be a thorough process. You will be interviewed, sometimes be done in India, or will be conducted over the telephone. Thorough homework for the interview If you have a face-to-face interview, just as in a job interview, remember that professional appearance and punctuality make first impression the best. Admissions Officers will also ask your motivation for pursuing an MBA. An MBA is a big investment, and it is important to ensure that the candidate is pursuing an MBA for the right reasons. It is worth preparing some questions to ask the interviewer to show that you have done your homework. The interview is a reflection of how you will participate in lectures and case study discussions. In some cases, Admissions Officers are unable to conduct personal interviews with Indian candidates so the application form is the only means of assessing candidates' motivation and abilities. An MBA demands a high degree of effort and commitment. Solid credentials, good work experience, or even sound academic achievements do not outweigh an application that is poorly presented. Admissions Officers will be questioning the motivation of someone who has not taken the time and effort to complete their form carefully. Initially write a draft version so that the final version is perfect in all respect. Application essays enable evaluation of the candidate's ability to communicate their thoughts in clear, concise manner. Improperly prepared essays show that candidate hasn't put much time or thought into the application. Extra-curricular activities, such as voluntary work can strengthen an application. Moreover include achievements that demonstrate your integrity, motivation, leadership, creativity and teamwork skills. A reference letter from a senior manager, particularly from a well-known organization, is desirable. However, Admissions Officers recognize that many talented applicants work in a family business, or small firms. Successful candidates are those who have the drive, capacity for hard work, along with teamwork, communication and analytical skills that can help them to reach higher posts after completing the programme.
