Top international business schools and
universities meet prospective English-speaking applicants in uniquely
personalised educational One-to-One event and Open Fair in Lagos on 4thSeptember 2018 and 5thSeptember 2018.
With its balanced
blend of theory, practice, and networking, the Master’s degree has become a
valuable asset to have under your belt.
Whether prospective students are headed
to a Master of Business Administration (MBA) degree or Masters in Management,
Finance, or Accounting, the future is looking bright for graduates across
business-related disciplines. What is more, the prestigious qualifications are
increasingly well regarded in a wide range of non-business fields all over the
world. Recent Masters and MBA graduates from top international schools continue
to be the disruptive and innovative force across any industry, continent, or
professional field.
Master’s graduates in a variety of fields of study -
such as STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths), Social Sciences and
Humanities - value their international postgraduate experience because of the
prospects of higher starting positions, better starting salary, and faster
career progression around the world.
Before reaping the
benefits of the degree and taking advantage of positive employment trends and
diverse career prospects, the process of selecting the right business school or
university requires research and reflection. This is why face to face meetings
with admissions directors are crucial to the selection process:
1. Learn how each programme fits your goals
Determined graduate school applicants should take the opportunity to talk
with university representatives one-on-one in order to find out if the Masters
or MBA programme will help them reach their personal and professional goals. In
addition, the meetings can portray the personality and approach of a school and
show if they are compatible with the applicants’ expectations. University
representatives also provide feedback on how competitive it is to get admitted.
2. Choose between an MBA and a Masters degree
The MBA and Masters degrees differ in terms of admission requirements,
budget, career prospects, and student profiles. For those who are yet to decide,
what could be better than meeting MBA and Masters programme representatives at
the same time, in the same place? The Access MBA and Access Masters events,
taking place in Lagos on September 4th and September 5th
provide the unique opportunity for potential applicants to talk in-person
to international business school representatives from INSEAD, IE Business
School, EDHEC Business School, Western University – Ivey Business School, Hult International Business
School.
3. Explore the programmes that best fulfil your expectations
The MBA and Masters One-to-One events enable prospective students to meet
the representatives of business schools and universities that correspond to their
professional background and expectations.
The schools and the candidates are
already familiar with one another and each 20-minute meeting is spent
discussing the topics that matter the most. In addition, during the Open
Fair prospective Masters applicants can meet all participating universities and
get details about the full scope of their graduate programmes in diverse fields
such as STEM, Social
Sciences, Humanities, Business, Management, Finance, Accounting and many more.
4. Benefit from real-time professional guidance
Getting a graduate degree is a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and prospective
applicants can take advantage of expert advice individually or during workshops
and presentations. Event participants can receive free, individual consulting
on any aspect of selecting where to study, how to prepare for admission tests (TOEFL, IELTS, GMAT,
GRE), funding options available, visa requirements, and winning application
strategies.
Why consider a business degree?
