Published

MBA aspirants can now take advantage of an online MBA fair. Organised and hosted by job website, Bayt.com, it will be held from October 27 to 30.

Professionals interested in seeking an MBA degree are invited to sign up online at https://vmba.bayt.com for free. The online education fair - which sees Manchester Business School as Platinum Sponsor and Audencia Nantes School of Management as Silver Sponsor - provides a convenient platform from which potential students and institutions can interact directly without the need for a physical venue.

The fair will allow students to discover and interact with leading business schools from around the world, empowering them to make informed decisions when choosing the right programme to take their career to the next level. Top participants include Robert Gordon University Aberdeen, Middlesex University Dubai, University of Wollongong Dubai, University of Northampton, University of Leicester, and the International Institute for Management Development. The fair is beyond simply convenient, as it makes it possible for students, parents and academic counselors to explore different options from the comfort of their homes, without the need to travel or commute.

According to the Bayt.com ‘MENA Professionals’ New Year Resolutions’ poll, December 2012, going for a higher education was among the top three career-related resolutions of professionals in the Middle East and North Africa for 2013, along ‘getting a better job’, and ‘getting a better salary’.

Meanwhile, the Bayt.com ‘Online Education and the Job Market in the Middle East’ poll, 2012, also revealed that online education -- specifically -- is viewed in a more positive light today than it was five years prior to the poll (69.9 per cent), while 85.2 per cent of professionals in the Middle East are ‘for’ online education. Another 66.7 per cent believe that a mix of both online and classroom education would be the best type of education.

Educational institutions can reserve their booth today to be part of the upcoming Bayt.com Virtual MBA Fair, while students wishing to participate can register for free immediately at https://vmba.bayt.com.
