Doing an international MBA

If you're intent on studying abroad, these tips for searching out the right international MBA programme may be helpful:

• Check the university's accreditations. The AACSB is a major global accreditation agency. In Europe, look for the European Foundation for Management Development's Equis stamp of approval.
• Visit the university, if possible. It may seem expensive to buy a plane ticket to London, but choosing the wrong programme is far costlier.
• Talk to alumni. Most major international MBA programmes have alumni clubs in big cities worldwide. Programmes for prospective students also may be scheduled near you.
• Look at historical business-school rankings. One year won't tell you much; five years might. The Wall Street Journal, the Financial Times and Business Week, among others, rank major international MBA programmes.
• Study the website. Many international MBA programmes profile recent classes and where graduates are working. Find out if they're in careers and locations that appeal to you.
