How's the MBA of Manipal University?
My sister completed her MBA from Manipal University and according to her, it completely changed her life.
There are three streams in the School of Management, Manipal University, namely:
- MBA Global Business
- MBA Healthcare Management
- MBA General
The curriculum for MBA Global Business and MBA General is more or less the same. The students of MBA Global Business, however, get to study their 2nd semester at the Manipal University Dubai Campus.
For the 4th semester, these students can choose from among the European universities that Manipal has tie-ups with. Otherwise, they can also choose to study their 4th semester from Manipal itself, in online mode. The 3rd semester, like the first, is spent on Manipal Campus.
If you wish to go into Hospital Management, choose MBA in Healthcare Management.
MBA Global Business and MBA General students can also opt for a dual specialization in Finance, HR, Marketing, and Operations.
The faculty at Manipal is very qualified and most of the faculty members are Ph.D. holders. They hold immense expertise and knowledge about business and the students are offered hands-on experience through industrial visits, guest lectures, seminars, etc.
Students are provided with all the necessary support from the faculty for any research work.
The different student exchange programs offered throughout the academic year allow students to go overseas and form global networks.
To name a few of the universities that Manipal has tie-ups with-
- Group T International University College, Belgium
- California State University, USA
- Australian National University, Australia
- University of South Florida, USA
- Hochschule Bremen City University, Germany
Thus, MBA at Manipal is a great option.
You can also consider doing your MBA from TAPMI (T.A. Pai Management Insitute), located also in Manipal, although, does not come under Manipal University.
