@MoneyMaker prince,
It's not an MBA course; but they have a lot of relevant courses they run that will be suitable to your job [at least there's a lot of relevant ones for me!] If you're looking for a proper MBA, spend the $ and go for a good one - the networking will be worth it. If you're going to do it just because it's cheap, then any one will do. |

@MoneyMaker prince,
There's a difference when you compare an MBA from XXX and an MBA from NUS or INSEAD. Besides, you already earn in SGD so dollar to dollar, should be easier or more affordable. |

I think I will take some free courses in coursera while figure out my choice for MBA. Thanks Tinkerbel =) |

@MoneyMaker prince,
Think about the value you'll be getting out of the MBA. |

I believe that the course content more or less will be the same whether online or part time. Just that the discussion, sharing of experience and social networking that's worthy to me |

@MoneyMaker prince,
Yes that's what I mean by value. I know of people who's spent RM300k on a prestigious MBA and have no regrets on that decision. You can also start scouting around for available scholarships if you can't afford to pay the fees in full  |

@MoneyMaker prince,
Good Luck. You should also look outside of the SG Universities and see what the private institution's offering. |

A master with no thesis is not a valid master and is worthless in many countriesI work in Singapore and wish to get a MBA via online learning/ long distance learning. Any recommendation which university is better? 1. Don't ask me study in Sg Uni cause freaking expensive 2. Don't ask me to study part time in Malaysia Uni because I cant afford to travel every week.

Online MBA might as well get it from American University of London. Cheap fast good with the effort of filing up forms and pay money only. Can get into gahmen job some more. Kena caught also no problem.
If SG go for NUS/NTU/SMU at least, highly recommend NUS best in SG and JB, some say even Batam. Best if you can get into Insead. Loan from bank also worth. |
