A report has suggested that it is likely that British students considering taking MBA courses in the UK will find it increasingly hard to find loans to cover the cost of their post-graduate studies.

According to a report in the Financial Times, the appeal of MBA courses in the US had recently been increasing among British students, thanks to the weak dollar.

However, the paper has now learnt that the credit crunch has dramatically reduced the number of student loans available for those considering such post-graduate courses.

It pointed to research carried out by the National Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators that showed that 50 lenders have suspended their post-graduate student loan deals.

“The cost of loan repayment is particularly high for students from outside the US who apply for loans from US institutions,” the paper explained.

“This is because credit references are not required and also the lenders find it harder to track down students on graduation if they return to their home countries.”

As a result, a British student looking for a post-graduate student loan in the US can expect to have to pay interest of around seven per cent.

With US MBA courses typically costing around $150,000 (£75,000) to complete, the rising price of loans could put many British students off, even though they know they will be able to secure high-paying jobs after graduation.

McGill University sees soaring world demand for business education in the next decade as a catalyst for change and a unique marketing opportunity.

The 940 universities offering full master of business administration programs in the United States and Canada can meet only a small fraction of the potential demand and their business schools must reinvent their approach to learning and attack the vast untapped market, says Gerald Ross, dean of McGill’s Faculty of Management.

“Studies estimate that 900 American universities can reasonably target a 10% share of the total market from supervisors up to top executives,” says Dr. Ross, the 60-year-old chartered accountant, teacher and consultant who assumed the McGill Faculty’s leadership in 2000 promising a rapid shift toward specialization.

“But the present output of MBAs is a drop in the bucket in relation to future demand,” he adds. “Thousands of new professors trained in the latest technologies will be needed and we must find radically new ways of delivering our services to compete for corporate dollars and the top students.”

Universities have begun to adapt by making their bachelor of commerce and MBA courses more flexible and attuned to a multi-segment market, he says. Management faculties are collaborating with other departments in joint-degree programs; students may choose shorter versions of the standard two-year MBA; and courses are being shared with European and Asian business schools.

“Core MBA programs, based on marketing, finance and strategy may not change much, but faculties must become more accessible and open to diversity and demographics. We pride ourselves on teaching entrepreneurship, but we need to become entrepreneurs ourselves and smarten up our marketing or others will move in with interactive systems that know no borders.”

Dr. Ross says the surge in demand for business education stems from five years of shocks: the digital revolution, globalization, the shift of economic power to Asia, the dot-com meltdown, Enron and Worldcom, the corporate governance crisis, SARS, mad cow disease, terrorism, outsourcing and the health care crisis.

“Business won’t be the same again and many other sectors of society urgently need better management skills. Management courses must anticipate critical issues and provide many more specialized models. Within a decade, learning will be accepted as a life-long process.”

McGill’s Faculty of Management is rapidly expanding its range of specialized degrees. It already offers seven different kinds of masters programs, including a masters in manufacturing management, MBA/law, and MD/MBA. Also MBA FastTrack is a short program for those who already have a BCom and MBA3 is designed for those who are working. A masters of management in finance and an international masters program for health leadership are among others that will follow.

The McGill International Executive Institute has launched the directors education program, focused on strategy, board functions, financial reporting and audit systems in partnership with the ICD Corporate Governance College and the University of Toronto’s Rotman School of Management. Its one-year advanced leadership program is a shorter version of an international program founded in 1996 by Henry Mintzberg, McGill’s best-known innovator and author of Managers Not MBAs.

These programs bring together senior executive teams from corporations such as Alcan Inc., Bell Canada Enterprises and Domtar Inc. to find solutions to urgent issues with the benefit of the university’s research.

The faculty, two-thirds of whose 75 members come from outside Canada, has seven on-campus research centres specializing in management, strategy, entrepreneurship, globalization and other subjects. The doctoral program is offered in partnership with the three other Montreal universities.

Excluding part-time executive development activities, the faculty has about 700 students in MBA programs and 75 at the doctorate level. More than half the students come from outside Canada.
