Yes, completing an MBA can greatly improve your chances of finding a job abroad, especially in the UK and Ireland.

- UK: After your MBA, you can typically apply for the Graduate Route visa, which lets you stay and work for up to 2 years. This gives you time to gain UK work experience and seek long-term roles. MBA graduates are in demand in sectors like consulting, finance, technology, and marketing. Average starting salaries are around £45,000/year.
- Ireland: You can usually stay and work for up to 24 months under the Third Level Graduate Programme (Stamp 1G). Sectors such as finance, consulting, and tech actively recruit MBA graduates, with typical salaries ranging from €40,000 - €70,000/year.

Visa rules and job market trends are subject to change. For personalized guidance on your next steps, connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.
