@MoneyMaker prince,
Y not then just register for free courses on Coursera?

@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.

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

@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

Hi All,

I 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.

Thanks. 

Southern Pacific University
Breyer State University
The Open International University
Templeton University
Sree Raghavendra Research Foundation University

       

But do you recommend online MBA?

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.

Wah.. I know SG MBA is very good. But the fee is just ridiculous for a middle age employee like me.

I feel is very risky. What if upon completion of the course and I still get nothing from it (increment/promotion), that will be pathetic..

whatever you choose, go for UK ones. plus, don't choose MBA that says you don't need to do dissertation/thesis/fyp. A master with no thesis is not a valid master and is worthless in many countries

I found University of London distance learning was worthless in teaching jobs in Singapore.  Beware some of them used to be popular with South Asians because it gives them MBA cert without real personal test .

an MBA (or any paper) doesn't guarantee promotion or increment. If that is your main purpose, then I suggest you don't take. If you look from that perspective, it will be a lousy ROI

People will definitely ask where you got your MBA from if they see it as something relevant. If you tell them you got it from online school or sub par one then people will be meh . If HBS those brands their face straight away  , this guy has good connections.

My company paid for my tuition fee, part of my promotion criteria to graduate in 3 years after I accept the offer. Either you find a company who does that, or you take it as an investment. The 3 public schools not say you want then sure can go in one you know... must have good good record. Insead more die... But if get into Insead confirm good life ahead. NUS bout 50k, Insead bout 90k last time.

But its your choice la, your money your time. If got budget constraint then apply the best one you can afford lo .

I understand that it does not guarantee promotion or increment, I mean the ROI will be low. Of course I also understand the knowledge you can get from MBA and the perspective you look at thing will be priceless

@patryn33,
Hard to get doesn't mean cannot get.  In fact, I know of people who's completed the INSEAD EMBA

@MoneyMaker prince,
It's definitely a good choice.  U won't regret it!

@patryn33,
Well he's going to need some time to find the $ so whilst he's doing that, he'll be accumulating experience. And, he doesn't need to look at the EMBA programme, he can always do the MBA programme

@MoneyMaker prince,
Good choice picking a good MBA programme, not necessarily need to be INSEAD.

Insead is not easy to enter even if U have the money. If U have to ask here and no where near management its super hard to get into insead.
NUS/NTU alot easier
