HE ultimate aim of master’s of business administration (MBA) programmes is to prepare students for senior management roles.
Unlike other master’s programmes that provide specialisations, an MBA is an interdisciplinary course drawing from the fields of accounting, finance, marketing and human resources.
Here are some reasons you should consider an MBA:
Higher pay scale According to PayScale Human Capital, an employee with an MBA qualification can earn from RM69,000 to RM153,000 per year on average. That is almost twice as much what a person with an undergraduate degree can expect to earn.
Better career opportunities An MBA graduate typically stands a better chance of holding a high-level management position. It is estimated that 70% of MBA graduates worldwide are senior managers or board directors.
Whether you wish to propel yourself to a leadership position at work or pursue a new career, an MBA can boost your chances of achieving these goals.
Get a holistic perspective An MBA gives you the privilege of being part of a greater network of professionals and companies, which will provide opportunities to develop problem-solving skills.
These factors will prepare you for the many challenges in the business world and help you gain a deeper understanding of and receptiveness to changes in the environment.
