From Science to Finance: Can I Tackle an MBA in Financial Management?

Dear Seniors, I am from a science background, but I chose the field of accounts when I started working, and I have 4 years of experience in accounts. Now, I am interested in pursuing an MBA in Financial Management. Can I pursue this despite my science background? Will the syllabus be difficult for a science student? Please advise me.

Thanks and Regards,
Annu

Hi Annu, as you have already worked in the accounting field and gained four years of work experience, there is no point in doubting yourself when choosing an MBA in Financial Management.

If there is an interest in the work area, you should definitely consider pursuing an MBA in Finance.

As you already worked in the accounting field and gained four years of work experience, there is no point in doubting yourself about choosing an MBA in Financial Management.

You can very well do an MBA in Finance, and you can succeed as you have 4 years of accounting experience. I suggest you pursue more finance/accounting-related courses for speedy career growth since you are a science graduate. Otherwise, prospective employers may try to exploit the situation by portraying a science background as a negative aspect.

All the best!!!

My daughter has a B.Sc in Physics, Maths, and Computer Science, has completed an MBA, scored well, and seems to have a good understanding of the subject. She is excelling as a Financial Analyst.

Meaning: You will do wonderfully well with your 4+ years of experience. Wish you all the best.

Annu,

Don't worry about the syllabus, and also don't think about the "difficulty"—not easy—is it possible. An MBA itself is a challenging career. For an MBA, the major requirement is analytical skill. Your science background and four years of experience in accounts are an added advantage. Go ahead.

Yes, before four years, during what was your subject does not matter as you have been working as an Accounting professor for four years. So, pursuing an MBA in Finance will be a good option for you.

The MBA Finance syllabus may not be difficult for you because of your experience in accounts.

All the very best.
