Bachelor
Degree:
Most UK universities accept the three-year graduation system
for entry
into the MBA programme. So, if you have a three-year bachelor degree like
Bachelor of Arts (BA), Bachelor of Commerce (BCom) or Bachelor of
Science (BSc), this is acceptable as it is considered equivalent
to a British Bachelor (Ordinary) Degree.
However,
some universities may require an Honours degree. This is usually equivalent to B.Com. (H),
B.Sc. (H) or afour year degree course like B.E.
For
most good Universities, a good first degree from a leading university in India or its
equivalent is essential.
There
are some universities that accept students for the MBA without a
bachelor degree if they have considerable work experience and
significant professional achievements.
Work Experience:
Most UK universities require a minimum of two to three years of work experience. This is
essential.
AMBA
Accredited MBA Programs:
All
AMBA accredited MBA programmes require a minimum of three years of
full-time work experience.
No
Work Experience:
There
are around five to six UK universities that accept students who
have no experience for direct entry into the MBA programme.
There
are many colleges in UK that offer University affiliated MBA
programs. They are much cheaper than University MBA Programs.
However, they have very small campuses and very limited resources
and faculty. It may be a good idea to research these institutes
well before you apply to ensure that you do not end up applying to
schools that are not recognized.
GMAT:
GMAT is accepted and recommended by many universities. However, most UK universities are
flexible about this criterion and this is not a mandatory
requirement for most UK business schools. So, unless, you aiming
for schools like London Business School or Manchester Business
School, you need not worry about the GMAT.
TOEFL/IELTS:
You need to take either the TOEFL or IELTS for admission to an MBA program in U.K. This is
required for almost all universities. This mandatory for most
schools even if you have studied in English medium throughout.
Some
schools waive this criteria after a personal interview.
