Time to invest in your future
Article Abstract:
Many people who decide to study for a Masters in Business Administration (MBA) do so because they feel that this qualification will improve their career prospects. Research indicates that gaining an MBA can lead to a rise in income, and this is one reason why there is strong demand for MBA programmes, particularly at the top end of the market. The UK's business schools are reporting a rise in applications for their MBA courses. In many cases, students from abroad choose a one-year British MBA instead of a two-year American one because of the cost and the good reputation of postgraduate education in the UK.

Mean business?
Article Abstract:
There are now more than 1,600 MBA programmes in operation in more than 100 countries. This makes choosing the most appropriate programme quite challenging. In Europe, most MBAs last only one year, but students will be expected to have worked for at least three years. In the US, MBAs last almost two years, but only limited business experience is needed. A full-time MBA can be very expensive, so it is worth considering taking a part-time, modular or distance-learning MBA, thus making it possible to continue working.

Warming up the welcome
Article Abstract:
It has been common for foreign students to experience difficulties with obtaining permission to attend universities in the UK. However, government ministers are now planning measures to make immigration procedures less complex and promote higher education in the UK globally. The measures include giving entry clearance officers better training, improving the turnaround time for visa applications and giving improved information for student applicants.
