The Master of Business Administration (MBA) is an internationally recognized business degree and a valuable qualification for those aiming to become global business leaders. It is academic in nature, yet provides practical preparation for individuals in business and management. Ten or twenty years ago, any MBA might have been enough to secure the best jobs. Today, employers want to know where you studied.

Oxford College of Business (OCB) has a history of designing innovative and industry-relevant programmes which answer the questions senior executives face worldwide. This pioneering nature and ongoing quest for excellence was as well the key to forming a dynamic academic partnership with the Australian Institute of Business Administration (AIBA), which has seen the triple accredited, globally ranked MBA being delivered in the heart of Colombo over the past three years. The Australian Institute of Business Administration MBA is a triple-accredited Postgraduate degree by:

• IAU (International Association of Universities) -Worldwide accreditation body
• AQF (Australian Qualification Framework) - Australian accreditation body
• CRICOS (Commonwealth Register of Institutions and Courses for Overseas Students) - Commonwealth/EU accreditation body

Triple accreditation is an honour shared by only a few of the world's elite business schools.
The AIBA MBA programme is designed by OCB's strategic academic partner Gibaran Learning Groups - one of the leading professional business groups in Australia. Oxford College of Business allows students to benefit from obtaining a top Australian Master's degree delivered in the heart of Colombo, at Oxford College of Business campus in close proximity to leading blue-chip companies, investment banks and consultancy firms.

An MBA provides professionals with the potential to become senior executives and learn the theories that successful multinational corporations have been built on, whilst nurturing the soft skills required to be inspirational and successful leaders. Oxford College of Business encourages cooperation with each other's intellectual peers to create solutions to problems faced in the real world and build powerful corporate networks to increase every student's global professional reach.

MBA IN 12 MONTHS
Traditional MBA models involve several individual subjects being offered generally over a 12 week period. For a busy executive, this makes their learning susceptible to external factors such as unexpected work and personal issues that could occur during this time.

The 12 Month MBA is offered as one subject per month. This means that students need to focus on just one subject at a time, in addition to their usual personal and professional obligations. The fact that the examination is just a month away from the start of each subject has contributed to high completion rates, as the students are continuously motivated.

MBA FACULTY
The MBA faculties have distinguished academic backgrounds and relationships to the corporate world, bringing years of experience to the classroom. The faculty selected to the programme is noted scholars, CEOs and industry experts. They pride themselves on practical business expertise, having held positions of leadership in companies throughout the world. The lectures of the faculty are selected from AIBA and hold either a doctorate degree or an MBA equivalent in their field of specialty. It could be stated without a doubt that Oxford College of Business currently has one of the best MBA lecture panels in the country today.

FAIR COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE
The current business environment is very competitive and the job market is very crowded. These factors are taken into consideration when designing the AIBA MBA programme. The AIBA MBA is aimed at helping students differentiate themselves, their career, and their business. Students are taken that extra mile to give the edge which will help in delivering an outstanding performance.

Oxford College of Business is committed to delivering a fair competitive advantage for the students which is the reason why the OCB- AIBA MBA is ranked No.1 in Sri Lanka today. For more information contact Malindu Ranasinghe - 0714151547 or visit www.12monthmba.com.au
