Research shows that graduates with an MBA qualification significantly increase their earning potential and can make a return on investment of their tuition fees within a few years (Source: Graduate Prospects). Obtaining an MBA can lead to promotion or generate a pathway into more senior roles, as well as creating an opportunity for those looking to change direction in their career.
