One of the big questions that come out from the students that complete ACCA - should I do a Masters?
If you plan to enter into lecturing - do a MSc or MA and not an MBA.
If you plan to be in corporate line - do a MBA
People who hold an MBA have not really studied an issue in depth - it is considering all the subjects of business at foundation level, tested at master levels.
The value of an MBA comes from the requirement for entry - any MBA that takes a fresh graduate to do the course is usually a rubbish product and not worth the salt - the MBA value comes from the network that you can get.
Most of the good MBA is US and UK has requirement for working at least 5 - 8 years before allowing admission
Some even need verification that you have achieved senior management level before coming into the course.
The network value of the MBA that requires work experience to enter is much higher and can allow you to jump later on.
An ACCA does not need an MBA since their training is focused on Accounting issues.
It would be always worthwhile for an ACCA to get an American qualification to improve their marketability.
Consider the following qualification
- FRM
- CIA
- CGMA
- CMA
as an alternative to taking the MBA.
