how is the stamford college ? is it good?

Seriously mate, I have no idea. I did a traditional PhD as I wanted to work in academia. Research carefully before taking the plunge. PhD is a long and tedious undertaking, make sure you find the right university, right supervisor and that you are prepared to slog for the next 3 - 5 years! Good luck!

hello can ask why u want to do the DBA ?
i also been thinking of doing one for the past 1 year but still have not pull the trigger yet.
u got your mba already i guess ?
meanwhile i am floating around doing some short term professional paper

alright mate, how was your PhD research? how is the academic line ? im struggling in between traditional PhD and DBA.

but i prefer shorter research.

Added on July 12, 2011, 10:26 pmNope, im just 22. so i couldt accumulate sufficient working experience to sign up for any MBA programe, as the requirement is minimum of 3 years working experience. currently im doing my MMgt. I love to study, and believe in having better knowledge can give me better living and life. Therefore i plan to further my study.

Reason for DBA:
1)Faster way to get "Dr".
2)Lesser research (as i not a hardcore researcher)
3)Not moving into acedamic, but most likely to be in career.

can DBA holder be a consultant or part time lecturer in uni ?

some ppl believe in PhD has higher power than DBA, truth ?

I did 'Psychological Empowerment'. PhD was quite a struggle, but I got through in the end. You can read more about my PhD in other PhD threads. Anyway, in the end, I never got into academia as half way through, I got a good job with a major retailer in UK, lol.

Academia, especially in UK and in good universities, can be very stressful. Publishing at least 2 papers in good journals is a must if you want to advance your career.

In your case, I do seriously think you should get at least 2 years work experience first before attempting PhD or DBA. It will add more weight to your research. Just my 2 cents. Good luck!

thanks my friend, mind to post your PhD threads link over here ?

2 papers in good journals?

currently im doing my Mmgt, just started, working and part time study now. after i finish my master, i would have 2 years working experience.

How can PhD holder being very successful in career? being a consultatnt ? operation director ?

hi thanks for sharing, the new generation is indeed more ambitious
i thought DBA requirement is a master ? some famous DBA in the market is UKM and UPM, UUM is too commecialised, if u dun mind even UOM and AEU university have them but .. seriously
if u really just want a Dr tittle, the fastest and most legitimate way is some Philipine uni where some college is conducting. Is legit uni, but without MQA, and cost 30 percent lower.
u intent to finance the DBA yourself ? MMGT is from UM is it ?
i personally feel PHD is better than DBA, but i am in a corp sector i so i am also bias toward DBA, still serching for sponsor

not sure,planning to do my DBA in lim kok weng or UM maybe. im doing my mmgt in taylors now.

not planning to study oversea, because have job in KL.

ya, DBA require a master, therefore im doing my Mmgt now.

how much is the mmgt in taylor ? how much is the DBA from LKW and UM ? i shortlisted two DBA, from Southern Cross University and one University of Western Australia
UK DBA is just too expensive and too hard too pass, online one is Heriot Watt and Liverpool. my mba, although grad with merit, which is just manage to pull through at the end, because i took some time off from work
stamford DBA, i check with with belgium embassy, it actually not recognised

thanks for the information.

taylors mmgt about 43k (ori price is 53k, i got 10k scholarship), for 18 months course.

LKW im not sure, UM should be cheaper. Segi college has funny requirement which require 5 years working experience (by the time i work for 5 year, my momentom have definately lost)

segi DBA is from segi rite ? when u graduating from your Mmgt ?
my dba is further postpone not happending this year, as i need another paper, more related to work and i think i can convince my emplyer to chip in

so is either UM or LKW ? hmm let dig further

yup,Segi DBA is from Segi college uni.

mid of 2012 i will be graduated from mmgt.

gonna find a day to vist LKW.

UM does not offers any DBA program

One of my friend's brother graduated in DBA from University of Newcastle twinning with Segi last year.. Just called Segi and currently they only offer DBA from Segi..

Also called Malaysia Stamford College Malaysia and they are no longer collaborate with United Business Institutes, Belgium. They replaced it with DBA programme with Scandinavian Art & Business Institute (No MQA Accreditation)..

will get more info on this -- Malaysia Institute of Training and Development cooperation with University of South Australia, Australia

thanks, does DBA useful in career ? for him ?

Well from what I heard from his brother, after his grad with DBA his life turn around.. some offered him to be in the Board of Directors..

That what inspired me to persue my DBA too (which ended me to this thread )..

I am currently searching for local Uni/College offering a DBA twinning programme with oversea university which I can't find right now..

Any suggestion ?

actually, i created a fake acc on jobstreet saying that im a DBA holder,i actually got offer from solaries group. head of sales and marketing, Gm of training department. all 5 digits salaries.

im still searching, LKM maybe? segi taking too long to fulfil the requirement (5 years working exp)

wow i am motivated already
