A thoughtfully chosen MBA can benefit your career
MDIS also offers a range of MBAs in Banking and Finance, International Marketing and International Business from top ranking universities in the UK and France. An MBA signals potential employers that you are a capable asset and determined to succeed with your leadership, decision making and strategic skills that an MBA provides.
Mr Eric Lim, Head of MDIS Business School (MBS) shared, “With an MBA, you will have more opportunities for career progression. It is a preference and in some cases, even a pre-requisite for an employee to possess an MBA to take on a senior role in an organisation.”
“Tackling complex problems in an increasingly competitive global workplace requires an understanding of various business functions. An MBA equips one with such knowledge as most MBA programmes encompass multiple disciplines for a comprehensive understanding of various business operations,” he added.
Other ways an MBA can benefit one’s career include increased/enhanced networking opportunities, valuable connections you can tap into for opportunities; amplified credentials to show you have the skills and knowledge to pursue a career in numerous fields; and increased earning potential as an MBA opens up career advancement opportunities that can push your salary upwards.
