I wonder about this, as information is hard to find on what exactly would constitute good work experience:

Experience working as a "team leader" heading a small team of entry-level specialists, counts as "management level" work experience for assesment of one´s eligibility for an MBA?

Thanks for anyone knowledgeable shining some light on this issue.

Sure. There is a lot of flexibility when it comes to classifying work experience, and as a team leader you're ostensibly managing people, right?

Does your application specifically request this kind of classification?

Thank you for your response ralph. The thing is I don´t have a bachelor´s degree. I found out that some good British schools might consider you anyway. This was the response from a Bath Business school rep:
"Our entry requirements state that we require a first degree, however if you do not have this, but have a good GMAT score (600 or above) and substantial managerial work experience, i.e more than 8/9 years, then this should be ok."

So therefore I am wondering about what sufficient "substantial managerial work experience" would mean. I of course also could ask them directly, however that would get rather close to a real interview.

Yes, there are some programs that do not require an undergrad degree, but I didn't know about the Bath MBA. Most of the ones that don't require it are EMBAs geared toward professionals (which you may want to look into, by the way.)

But yeah, if you've got at least 8 years of experience, with some supervisorial background, I'm sure that would probably be ok.
