After the pandemic, online and offline are separate markets for MBA programmes now and both have takers, according to business school SP Jain Global GroupтАЩs Founder & President Nitish Jain. ┬а
тАЬDuring Covid, our full-time on-campus programme saw a dip, but it was much more than offset by rise in online MBA programmes. Now, in the post-Covid period, students are coming back to the campus. There are two markets now тАУ one who wants a full-time experience and one who is happy with part-time experience, and we offer both courses,тАЭ he told Business Today on the sidelines of an event to launch SP Jain School of Global ManagementтАЩs London campus. ┬а
The school offers a one-year Global MBA programme and has campuses in Dubai, Singapore, Sydney and Mumbai. ┬аThe new campus, тАШSPJ LondonтАЩ will begin delivering a range of undergraduate and postgraduate programmes by mid-2023, subject to regulatory approvals. ┬аThey will be accredited by the Office for Students, Department for Education, UK, and will grant students a UK degree. ┬а
On the choice of location for the fifth campus, Jain told Business Today: тАЬUnemployment is only 3.5 per cent in UK. After Brexit, there is a shortage of talent there. The defining moment was Brexit, after which a lot of Europeans had to leave England in 2020. So, thereтАЩs a vacuum for talent and itтАЩs a hot job market in London.тАЭ He also said the new campus to be located in LondonтАЩs financial, business and tech district of Canary Wharf will be minutes from global financial giants such as HSBC, Barclays, JP Morgan, Citibank, American Express and Credit Suisse. ┬а
тАЬMany congratulations to SP Jain School of Global Management on selecting London as the location for their next international campus. ┬аLast year, over 108,000 visas were issued to Indian students тАУ up 93 per cent on the previous year – a sign of the magnetic attraction of UK education for people all across India,тАЭ ┬аAlan Gemmell, His MajestyтАЩs Trade Commissioner for South Asia and British Deputy High Commissioner for Western India, was quoted as saying in a press release. ┬а┬а
