I don't think an MBA is an effective way to do that.

Just as a note, my position is managerial, so not just a salesperson. What do you mean by your reply? Should I be focusing more on relevant work experience? Or perhaps a different type of degree? Thanks

British start-ups rarely hire many MBAs. MBAs are expensive to hire and have general management skills suited to larger organizations. The area around Durham, and the North East in general, is a relatively low-skill region with limited resources for start-ups with an international agenda.

Academic degrees are based on peer-reviewed research: data takes five or ten years to have an impact on teaching. There's little in an MBA, even in an MSc in entrepreneurship, that won't have been taught five years ago. Certainly, even then the core and electives of many business schools are pretty good at outlining entrepreneurship.

Thanks so much for taking the time to expand on this Duncan, much appreciated! Have a nice rest of the week.
