What are the career benefits of completing an online MBA?
A university or business school postgraduate education can increase your competitive edge in an increasingly competitive, demanding, and fast-paced job market – so what are you waiting for?
A Master of Business Administration degree – no matter the specialism – is considered by many employers as the ‘gold standard’ of international business management qualifications. As such, your online MBA can put you in an excellent position to carve out a rewarding, highly lucrative, and exciting future career.
Here are just some of the many benefits of an online MBA that can help propel your career forward:
- Advanced skills, tools, and expertise across the business administration and leadership spectrum – that’ll lend themselves to any industry you choose to work in and can help you to secure more specialist roles.
- International and cross-cultural awareness and understanding – informing your leadership style and efficacy in global business environments.
- Excellent employment rates and job prospects – worldwide employment of MBA grads has risen considerably between 2008-2022, with figures from 2021 and 2022 at 97% and 91% respectively.
- Professional network of industry contacts – tap into an invaluable community of potential future business partners, mentors, knowledge-sharers, and investors, from all around the world.
- Evidence of professional development and commitment to learning – one of the key competencies that can help you stand out to recruiters.
What salary can I expect with an online MBA?
Data published by the Financial Times indicates that many MBA graduates can expect to secure six-figure salaries, with further increases related to additional experience and responsibility. Fortune report that the industries and roles paying the highest MBA salaries include consultancy, finance, technology, consumer packaged goods, entertainment, media and sports, and healthcare.
There are multiple factors that can influence your future, post-MBA salary. These include: the industry you enter; your location (for instance, jobs based in London or other major metropolitan area will likely pay more than those outside these areas); the business school or university you attended (as some have higher online MBA rankings or feature accreditation, such as AMBA); and how many years of work experience you possess. You may also receive signing bonuses or performance bonuses, depending on your employer.
