Worthiness studying MBA during the pandemic in Europe


Hi all,

I am looking for your comment or suggestion regarding studying MBA in Europe during the pandemic.

Currently, I am applying for some MBA programs in Europe. I learned that most of the classes are online and networking is pretty limited due to pandemic, do you think it is a good time to do an MBA?

Let's just say, is it worth paying 40k Euros for MBA online class and limited networking?

Your input is highly appreciated.

Thanks
Haris

Things are slowly going back to normal, but it depends on what you need. If you want to make a large career transition (for instance transitioning into another country and / or different industry), the opportunities that come along with doing a face-to-face program (including career support) are critical.

Most of the reputable MBA programs have made strides to provide these opportunities in the current situation, and these have been commendable, but overall the schools have been stingy with employment details, which makes it hard to say whether the outcomes are good or bad.

It's extremely hard to say, one way or another, due to the extraordinary circumstances of this past year.
