Whilst the Master of Business Administration is one option to enter the world of financing, consulting or marketing, there are a variety of established master's degrees that could be a valid alternative. These master's-level programmes may be in the field of business, engineering, and healthcare for example. MBA develops skills further after a candidate has traditionally graduated from university (any subject) and has several years of professional experience. Master's degree generally builds on other academic achievements of a student like an undergraduate degree (in the same field). MBA is taught mainly using 'case studies', real-world examples of business problems that students study, discuss and advise on. Master ’s degrees are taught in a more traditional way using lectures and tutorial classes.
