Will having an MBA degree completed in 2022 benefit my application in Canada/New Zealand?

Yes, having an MBA completed in 2022 will strengthen your application for master's programs in Canada, Germany, the Netherlands, and New Zealand. An MBA highlights your advanced business knowledge and leadership skills, which are valued by admissions committees - especially when paired with your 10 years of work experience in Hospitality and Tourism Management.

The benefit is strongest if your intended master's program is related to business or management. If you apply to a different field, the relevance of your MBA may be less direct.

Your undergraduate grades (60%) and past backlogs may be considered, but your MBA and professional experience can help offset these concerns. You'll also need to meet English language proficiency requirements, such as IELTS.
