MBA courses require 15-20 hours of work a week - this course does as well. If you're a serious student then ask yourself one question:

Do you want to enrol on a course where there is:

a. a high workload

b. lectures to really make you THINK

c. Case Studies

d. high level of involvement by the Instructor

e. FIFTY HOURS of lectures

If so then this is the course for you

'The best way to prepare for the MBA, the best way to learn overall, is through discussion. Therefore look for a course that encourages discussion, has an active forum, that sets regular though-provoking homework - and THEN you have the ideal course. Don't go for one with flashy marketing and pretentious titles but an empty Q/A - go for one that is vibrant, inviting, that stresses participation - one that makes you work hard AND take certain standpoints that are then critiqued by other students, defended, expanded on and evaluated by the tutor.

That's the absolute ideal preparation for an MBA - in fact that is the IDEAL MBA'

- Oxford Professor

Kirchhausen said the most successful MBA candidates are those who are entering programs looking to develop as a person or leader—not just those looking for the credential. As a first step in preparing for an MBA, he encouraged applicants to build a list of skills they hope to learn during the program and a series of goals to go along with it.

Ultimately, this activity will help you determine if an MBA program is right for you.

“The end goal is to set you on a path for which, hopefully, you’ll be compensated well and you’ll be happy at your job,” he said.

MBA students read hundreds of pages every week as part of their class preparation and coursework.

Reading more before your studies will help you avoid fatigue when studying. Moreover, it will aid in your knowledge of business, leadership, and global markets (provided you select suitable reading materials), making you more valuable as a potential employee and MBA applicant. As an MBA involves developing problem-solving and leadership skills, Harvard Business School advises reading books on these topics to prepare yourself

“Students should take the exam when they are ready, at their peak and universities should not discriminate against those who take more than one sitting for an exam.

- Chris Sivewright writing in Teachers’ Weekly, February 1990

Much of what you gain from an MBA program is problem-solving and leadership skills, so you may want to build your expertise in those areas by reading up. Most business school candidates expect a rigorous academic program that will be intellectually challenging, but may not expect the social demands of business school. Many former MBA students believe that the social aspects are nearly as beneficial as what you learn in the classroom.

Working hard and playing hard could offer advantages post-school, but it can pose particular challenges to students with families. Knowing what to expect in advance will help you mentally prepare.

“This is probably the shortest time in which anyone has passed. It is quite exceptional

- .Peter Stanbrook, Head of Education at the AEB, The Oxford Mail, 25th January,1990

It’s no secret that MBA students spend a lot of time reading throughout their coursework.2 You can help avoid fatigue and get back into the practice by slowly increasing your daily reading time before your MBA program starts. Not only will this help you get you used to your new reading schedule, but it also gives you the chance to do some research that could benefit you in your classes. Professors will be impressed if you can share something new you learned while preparing for the program.

Choose some books that align with your area of business and start by renting a few at a time. Audio books are a great option as well for those still working while earning their MBA.

John Simkin, The Electronic Telegraph, 22 October 1998

We tend to think of leadership as leading people or managing a project, but leadership can be many things, from producing a high school play to tutoring younger kids in math. Mine your past for times when you raised your hand, made something happen, or had an impact (a word as critical in the MBA world as leadership). You could create a “brag sheet,” either virtually or on paper, to remember these events when you need to reproduce evidence. Then when it’s time to apply, you’ll have plenty of leadership examples.
