Upcoming MBA Info Sessions at Business Schools in the UK and Ireland

For many MBA applicants, visiting business schools for info sessions and other events can be an essential part of the application process. At campus visits, you can see business schools that you are interested in, and maybe even attend classes and meet with school representatives.

Above all, campus visits can give you a real sense of what the MBA experience is like, beyond what you can find in marketing brochures. Many potential MBA applications also use info sessions to ask questions about admissions to see what qualities the business schools are looking for.

Many business schools also offer virtual online chats, where potential applicants from all over the world can talk to business school representatives and ask questions.
