Hi all,

I'm looking into 1 year (maximum 16 months) full time MBA programs, and I have the following profile:

Education: MSc (2 years) in Molecular Medicine from Canada, involved practical research work in a laboratory, which was paid as a normal job.
Work experience: 2 years in sales and marketing in the biotech industry.
Organizational experience: involved with several student organizations, and currently politically active
GMAT: currently working on it

I'm worried about the 2 year work experience, since most schools in Europe seem to require 3 years. Schools in Canada require 2 years, but the programs are also longer. Any recommendations for Europe, or other advise? (PS: I have already looked into ESADE, INSEAD and LSB).

Hello

I'll repost something I had posted on another thread:

Hi

London Business School (will take 15 months though, does take students with less than 3 years of work experience. Quote form their website: "The range of work experience within the class is between 2 and 14 years. If you have less than three years' work experience you will need to show superior academic credentials or evidence of outstanding performance." )

Oxford University - Said (quote: "Whilst most of our students have more than three years experience, we do consider those with less work experience. If this is the case, we look for candidates who are able to demonstrate a high level of maturity, combined with evidence of leadership ability.")

All of the major other programs require at least 3 years of professional experience. I would urge you to ponder if you don't want to keep working for another year before applying. Not only will your profile be a better fit, but the list of potential 1 year MBA programs will get much longer. For instance:

Cambridge Judge Business School
Lancaster University Management school
Cranfield University School of Management
Imperial College Business School (London)
Manchester Business School (18 months)
City University - Cass (London)
Warwick Business School
University of Strathclyde Business School (Glasgow)
Aston Business School (Birmingham)
Durham Business School
Birmingham Business School
University of Bath School of Management
University of Edinburgh Business School

I wish you the best of luck.

Hi, Alma Graduate School in Bologna, Italy requires only 2 years of work experience.

The MBA has six different majors (all taught completely in English):
- Brazil-Europe Business Relations
- Design, Fashion and Luxury Goods
- Food and Wine
- Global Industrial Enterprise
- Green Energy
- Retail in the Banking and Financial Industry

In addition to scholarships and financial aid, there are long-term honor loans available for all admitted students through the school's partnership with UniCredit Bank. The honor loan covers up to full tuition (minus any scholarships) PLUS ?10k for living expenses. Theoretically, you can go to the school without paying anything out of pocket right now.

Negar, take a look at the DAAD website: http://www.daad.de/deutschland/studienangebote/international-programmes/07535.en.html?iplevel=2&ipterm=MBA&ipfield=03&ipsubject=&iptypehei=&iptownhei=&iphei=&iplang%5B%5D=1&iplangdistribution=6&iptuitionfees=&ipduration=&ipenter.x=96&ipenter.y=15

I would check out these three schools in Germany:

1. Munich Business School
2. University of Mannheim
3. University of Leipzig

Although from my knowledge, most European MBA programs require three years of work experience.
