Exclusive scholarships available at the QS Connect MBA event on October 2 at the Radisson Blu Royal Hotel

It’s a chance to have face-to-face with the admissions directors of some of the world’s leading business schools

“MBA? So this isn’t a basketball game? But we wanted to meet Kobe Bryant!”

Still, there’s something undeniably glamourous about those three letters in unison when they follow someone’s name on a business card.

It’s a stamp of approval that opens doors, and your journey to its exclusive club could potentially begin when you swing through the entrance of the Radisson Blu Royal Hotel on October 2 to attend the QS Connect MBA event.

Organised by QS, the world’s leading global provider of specialist higher education and careers information and solutions, entry is completely free – providing you register in good time, as the number of available spaces is limited!

Seminars and scholarships
Attendance will put prospective master of business administration (MBA) students into direct contact with the admission directors from some of the world’s top business schools and enable them to attend workshops, seminars and panel discussions to further enhance their applications.

This is a one-stop store that is guaranteed to transform a MBA application from ponderous nag to pedigree racehorse.

Specifically, prospective MBA students will be able to attend QS panels offering advice on admissions and studying abroad; improve their GMAT™ scores at dedicated workshops; find out about scholarships worth 1.7 million US dollars (7.26 million kroner) available exclusively to fair attendees; and hear about MBA experience from top business school alumni at dedicated seminars.

Last but not least, attendees can close the evening with a drink at the get-together with all the school representatives, alumni and like-minded professionals.

Personalised schedules
Perhaps most importantly, the event will once and for all confirm whether taking an MBA is the right step – for both the student’s personal and professional development.

It’s advised that all attendees bring an extensive CV, as this will be used to create a fully-personalised schedule of 30-minute meetings face-to-face with the admissions directors.

Representatives will be present from Copenhagen Business School (Denmark), Alliance Manchester Business School (UK), IMD Business School and University of St Gallen (Switzerland), IE Business School and IESE Business School GEMBA (Spain), Tsinghua University (China), BI Norwegian Business School (Norway), ESCP Europe (France) and Hult International Business School.

A survey carried out by Megafon for TV2 has found that 71 percent of parents have handed over children to daycare in spite of them being sick.

Moreover, 21 percent of those surveyed admitted to medicating their kids with paracetamol, such as Panodil, before sending them to school.

The FOLA parents’ organisation is shocked by the findings.

“I think it is absolutely crazy. It simply cannot be that a child goes to school sick and plays with lots of other children. Then we are faced with the fact that they will infect the whole institution,” said FOLA chair Signe Nielsen.

Pill pushers
At the Børnehuset daycare institution in Silkeborg a meeting was called where parents were implored not to bring their sick children to school.

At Børnehuset there are fears that parents prefer to pack their kids off with a pill without informing teachers.

“We occasionally have children who that they have had a pill for breakfast,” said headteacher Susanne Bødker. “You might think that it is a Panodil more than a vitamin pill, if it is a child who has just been sick, for example.”

Parents sick and tired
Parents, when confronted, often cite pressure at work as a reason for not being able to stay at home with their children.

Many declare that they simply cannot take another day off, as they are afraid of being fired.

Allan Randrup Thomsen, a professor of virology at KU, has heavily criticised the parents’ actions, describing the current situation as a “vicious circle”.

“It promotes the spread of viruses, and it adds momentum to a cycle where parents are pressured by high levels of sick-leave. If they then choose to send the children to daycare while they are still recovering, they keep the epidemic going in daycares, and this in turn puts a greater burden on the parents.”
