MBA is one of the most sought-after and universal programs around the world. The degree is a starting point for students from different backgrounds to enter into the field of management. A remarkably high number of graduates are willing to enter management to build their careers.
Although universities worldwide prefer students who have prior work experience for their management courses, certain MBA universities in the UK are now becoming more liberal. Such colleges are offering international students to pursue MBA without work experience in the UK. Let's look at all the information related to pursuing an MBA in the UK without work experience.
MBA in UK Without Work Experience: Eligibility
- A bachelor's degree in any field from a recognized university is mandatory.
- An English language certification score is also compulsory for admission.
- Some universities also ask and accept GMAT and GRE scores too.
Benefits of Studying MBA in the UK Without Work Experience
The exposure and benefits, along with work experience, that you might be missing; however, there are some important benefits of studying MBA in the UK without work experience, which we will discuss in this blog. We all are familiar with the trend to go for industry exposure and work experience after completing your bachelor's degree in any field of study. Most students follow this path only.
Many students want to finish their studies before stepping into the industries related to their fields of study. For these students, the benefits of studying MBA in the UK without work experience are:
- Chance to get an early entry into the new career opportunities with better remuneration, especially after gaining a Masters's level degree.
- They will earn an opportunity to enter into the corporate world for entry or mid-management level jobs.
- It saves the student's time as the standard duration for MBA in the UK is 1 year only.
- Students who pursue an MBA in the UK without work experience right after their undergraduate studies enable a better understanding of business activities for students wishing to join a family business or start their venture.
- At times it has been seen that students' dedication and interest to study again may decline after starting working. In such a way, the entire experience of studying abroad and gaining knowledge at the Masters's level is also lost.
MBA in the UK Without Work Experience: Cons
Other than the aforementioned positive aspects and all the pros, here are some consequences as well that we have listed of pursuing a degree of MBA in the UK without work experience:
- Post-MBA job opportunities are expected to be limited compared to those of an MBA graduate with prior work experience.
- You won't compare what you learn in business school with what you've learnt at work if you don't have any practical experience.
- You'll have a lower chance of landing a summer internship that might lead to a job offer or a PPO.
- Your networking will not be of the same calibre as that of your classmates with professional experience.
