A diverse environment
The MBA classroom at OCB offers a natural environment for getting to know a diverse group of people beyond formal business contacts. For most students, the 12month MBA experience at Oxford College of Business is one of great intensity and challenges –juggling a demanding work-life-study balance.
It is often in such situations, and in moments of stress and strain, that people have the chance to get to know one another at a more profound level. MBA students at OCB are likely to share similar problems and difficulties throughout the programme and can offer one another support. This forms a bond that is much less likely to emerge from a day-to-day context.
New friendships
By their mid-thirties, most professionals tend to be embedded in established structures, both professionally and personally. As such, it’s not always easy to meet new people and make new friends at mid-career level.
OCB’s 12month MBA programme thus opens more than one door for students: OCB’s 12month MBA creates the shared experiences so important for friendships, and allows students to forge a bond with each other.
The 12month MBA at OCB also serves as an ideal context to meet like-minded people, motivated and driven by similar impulses. In addition, the MBA classroom allows candidates to broaden their circle of friends beyond national and cultural borders.
Making friends from completely different cultures and traditions is one of the most rewarding and enriching experiences OCB’s 12month MBA experience has to offer.
Professional sounding boards
These new connections can be just as important in the professional context in the form of advisors, allies and sounding boards. Fellow students and classmates can more easily understand the complexities of issues that might arise during or after an MBA degree than perhaps an employer or work colleague, as they are operating on a similar intellectual basis.
Friendships made during the 12month MBA at OCB has provided an ideal opportunity for students to explore new professional and personal networks, opening new pathways. The fact that almost all AIB MBA graduates hold senior managerial positions in almost all business sectors in Sri Lanka has helped the Sri Lankan economy to move up in the right direction.
Long-lasting relationships
Developing a lasting friendship is not just restricted to classmates and fellow students. Important and valuable connections are made among the AIB MBA alumni (which is one of the most active MBA Alumni’s in Sri Lanka) network and with the faculty. The 12month MBA at OCB has created a culture of mentoring relationship into a life-long friendship of respect between teacher and former students that will continue to benefit OCB MBA students throughout their professional and personal lives.
