MBA students now are very different to what they were a decade ago. Traditionally, MBA cohorts consisted of professionals with five or six years of experience under their belt and looking to take their career to the next level.

Today, the cohort is much more diverse. There are still the mid-level career professionals looking to move upward within their organisations. However, there are more people undertaking MBAs without any previous work experience, or they are looking to take their experience and shift into whole new sectors or upskill in unfamiliar issues and new fields.
