THESE DAYS , UNIVERSITY ACROSS THE WORLD ARE GOING BACK TO THE DRAWING BOARD TO PERSONALISE MASTER'S PROGRAMMES IN BUSINESS .
Many MBA aspirants face the issue of having to settle for MBA programme which do not offer the subjects, majors or programme durations that is suited to their individual that requirements. These days, however universities across the world are going back to the drawing board to personalise master's programmes in business.
One such university is the Athens university of economics and business AUEB in athens, greece, which has done away with the one size fits all MBAs in a bid to enable it to meet specific needs and goals of each individual student.
Gregory P Prastacos, dean, Athens university of economics and business, explains the advantage ''Focusing on the rather than on what can be taught means that students are not only satisfied, but get much more mileage from the time and money spent in business schools. They also face better career prospects, since they can stand out better in the global job market amongst the sea of undistinguishable MBA graduates.''
Besides the university offers students a personal skill- development PSD programme to develop individual skills through a series of work shops, which are conducted after an initial personally assessment of the student. There are one on -one career coaching an dindustrial training programme ITP under which corporates offer courses and seminars to students on practical issues like ' How to successfully Develop a business plan,' which is offered by McKinsey & Company ; Project Financing' offered by Ernst & Young, etc. and company days are arranged with global corporates leaders for greater corporate exposure for students. The aim , as prastacos says is to provide students a holistic learning experience in ways that are best suited to their needs.
