Acess MBA event in Johannesburg 29 Aug 2018

Top international business schools meet executive talent through One-to-One meetings in Johannesburg on August 29^th 2018 and in Cape Town on September 1^st 2018.

 Over the past years the Master of Business Administration (MBA) has become a highly valued degree across all industries and types of organisations. And rightfully so – it can be an asset for professionals who wish to give their managerial career a boost, be it in the corporate world or as entrepreneurs, as well as for those who are looking to switch to a different professional field or geographic region. MBA programmes are delivered in diverse formats to reflect the variety of career development approaches and learning styles – full-time one- or two-year programmes, part-time, executive, online, modular, weekend, and blended.

 Even with increased opportunities for studying in all parts of the world, competition is not to be disregarded. Top business schools select ambitious and well-prepared MBA candidates to build diversity in the classrooms, where peer learning is of high value, and to maintain strong alumni networks. Professionals aspiring to MBA studies need to be committed and driven during the school selection and application process in order to have a worthwhile MBA experience at the business school that will best develop their potential and career.

 Here is why a personal touch can go a long way.

1. The MBA is a personal commitment

 Deciding to do an MBA is a matter for career, lifestyle, and future development. The personality and approach of a school are important factors for MBA candidates to consider. How different MBA programmes match one’s expectations is easily discernible by speaking with their representatives in person.

2. Business meetings with business schools

 Determined MBA applicants take the opportunity to talk business with MBA representatives one-on-one. They find out which business schools will enable them to reach their personal and professional goals. MBA meetings also allow applicants to receive feedback on how competitive it is to get admitted to the school.

3.  20 constructive minutes

 Access MBA’s One-to-One event enables professionals to meet the representatives of schools that were carefully selected to correspond to their professional background and expectations. Thus, the school and the MBA candidate are already familiar with one another and each 20-minute meeting is spent discussing the topics that matter the most.

4. Gain an admissions advantage

 One-to-One MBA event participants get a sneak preview of their chances for admission by asking the right questions and putting forward their best presentation skills. Among the top-ranked, and thus most competitive, business schools participating in the Johannesburg on August 29^th 2018 and in Cape Town on September 1^st 2018 are IE Business School, University of Cambridge - Judge Business School, Hult International Business School, MIP Politecnico di Milano, EDHEC Business School, Cass Business School, Maastricht School of Management and many more.

5. Real-time professional guidance

 Getting an MBA degree is a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and MBA applicants appreciate expert advice. Before, after and in-between the business school meetings, event visitors can receive free MBA consulting on any aspect of MBAselection, GMAT preparation, funding options, and  MBA application strategies to help guarantee a successful business education investment.
