An MBA (Masters in Business Administration) is a graduate-level degree that
offers both academic and practical instruction in business or investment
management. It is a course of study geared toward preparing students for
careers in leadership and business management in both the public and
commercial sectors. It gives the students a strong, thorough grounding in the
fundamentals of business, an understanding of the global environment in which
they will work, and the analytical tools for making wise decisions. It also
gives them the chance to expand their functional expertise through
specialization courses.
The course is intended for both students
and professionals who want to improve their management skills and
qualifications in order to become successful businessmen and entrepreneurs in
the future. The MBA program is widely recognized and is seen as a significant
step towards a successful business management career. MBA education in Nepal
has carved out its own place by incorporating current teaching and learning
methodologies and courses. MBA is currently a sought-after brand among those
looking to work in banks and financial institutions (BFIs) and other
businesses. Apart from the banking and financial systems, there is a high
demand for professional managers in other industries such as tourism and
hospitality, energy, agriculture, the public sector, and others.
In
recent years, Nepal has experienced an increase in the number of universities
providing MBA degrees. There are now two types of MBA colleges in Nepal: those
affiliated to national universities and those affiliated to foreign
universities. Numerous domestic universities, including Kathmandu University,
Pokhara University, Tribhuvan University, Mid-Western University and
Purbanchal University, are associated with the majority of colleges offering
MBA programs in the nation.
Nepal has seen the establishment of MBA
colleges with worldwide affiliation over the past few short years.
Affiliation with foreign universities offers students the option to acquire
foreign degrees while studying in Nepal. As part of their affiliations
with several foreign universities, colleges like King's College, The British
College, Herald College, Lord Buddha Education Foundation (LBEF), Presidential
Business School, CG Institute of Management (CGIM), ICA, Nepal
Information Technology, Naaya Aayam Multi-disciplinary Institute (NAMI)
and the Ace International Business School provide MBA degrees. The
colleges claim their degrees help students compete globally. Some of the
International Universities offering affiliated MBA course in Nepal are Leeds
Beckett University (UK), Queen Margaret University (UK), Westcliff University
(USA), University of Wolverhampton (UK), University of Northampton (UK) ,
Sikkim Manipal University (India), Limkokwing University ( Malaysia) , and
IGNOU (India).
Unlike traditional MBA that used to offer
specialisation in Finance, Marketing and HR, many colleges have also come up
with electives in Global Leadership & Management, Agri-Business,
Information Technology, Non-Profit Management, Tech & Innovation,
Management Information System and Operation Management and Supply Chain
Management, among others.
