so its a plus 2500. I dont know about the rest but money is my driving factor man.

Anyone has any comment on Sunway's Victoria MBA? I plan to enroll there but would like to know why no one seems to study this MBA, and no one even comment about it?

Really depends on the school. Some schools allow MBA directly after graduation from degree program.

Certain high ranked schools require the candidate to have minimum 1-3 years of experience to qualify for an MBA. The qualities from work exp good schools look for is generally technical skill, activism and leadership. Normally a recommendation letter from your manager is needed for their application process. US schools also require a GMAT exam score, which is an aptitude test involving math, essay and basic case studies.

Probably this info will help you guys considering doing part-time MBA:-

1)
University of Nottingham, UK
2 years
January, Sept (enquire)
GMAT required
RM55,000

2)
University of Sunderland, UK (via Segi College)
2 years
July, October, January, April
Registration fees:
RM700 or RM300 during promotion times
Tuition fees:
RM20,650 + GBP 1,500
= ~ RM32,000

3)
University of Southern Queensland, AUS (via Segi College)
2 years
March, July, November
Tuition fees: RM30K++ (depends on AUS exchange rate)

Self employed work CAN be considered as experience for MBA but you must demonstrate that you have a good working knowledge of your area of work.

It can be considered, however, it will vary from college to college on how they will need you to provide the proof of your work experience. It may be as simple as providing your CV or you may also have to provide other proof. You should check with the colleges to find out what they need from your situation.

Cheers

Added on October 8, 2009, 11:55 pmThere are many MBA programmes offered in Malaysia, some that are accredited by MQA, some not. It depends on your needs as the private sector does look at the accreditation part in terms of employment. If you plan to work for the government or become a lecturer, you will not be able to do that.

MBA programmes also vary in terms of subjects and specializations. From your work experience, you will need to decide which MBA course contains the subjects that are most applicable to your current or future work. Then, only choose the college. For example, UCSI University's MBA programme includes and incorporates the latest contents and components that will train graduate students in the disciplines of Business Law (including current issues surrounding the field of franchising, logistics and strategic economics, etc)

It is highly recommended to work for about 2-3 years before taking up the MBA as the programme basically is to provide you business and management knowledge and how to apply it to your work. If you have not worked, you may not gain as much from it as you would with work experience.

In addition, there are also different modes of delivery which you should consider as to which one would fit you. Generally they are coursework, exam based, online, online support, group work, classroom, etc.

Other entry requirements are English using TOEFL or IELTS.

Cheers.

Added on October 9, 2009, 12:02 amI think other than the quality of the MBA, most of us considering or at one point considered doing the MBA, are the tuition fees and location. Since we are working, we have to juggle our finances. Note that you can withdraw from your EPF Account 2 to fund part of your studies.

As most of us would know, working in the Klang Valley, location would be important to consider because of the traffic jam and parking. Just some points to consider.

There are some MBA programmes which are not of high standard or quality out there and we should be discerning on choosing the right one. Just because it is popular does not mean that it is good. It may be popular because it is cheap or easier to complete. I suppose it depends on your reasons for wanting to do the MBA.

Cheers

Hi all,

Appreciate if anyone can suggest which part-time MBA is cheap & worth to take in Malaysia.

I've shortlisted some MBA in KL:

1) Olympia College's MBA partnership with Nottingham Trent University ~ RM28k

2) HELP Institute's MBA partnership with Charles Stuart University ~ RM31k




I'm planning to take a part-time MBA with the budget RM30k, welcome your comments & suggestions.

neither's MBA degree is superior over the other. but i'd say HELP cause HELP is a more established college than olympia.

sunway got i think...partnership with manchester uni

try check out sunway as what valentineday said, if they partner manchester uni...
for me, given only these two choices, i would say help..olympia isn't a very well-known or maybe isn't good enough and why not pay 3k more for a better uni.

but yea, i would go for the sunway/manchester uni one if I was given a choice of all 3.

How about the MBA in local universities like UM, I believe they are quite established as well and have part-time flexibility.

How about the criteria in doing MBA? Do anyone know what are the minimum requirement? Say, 5 years working experience, degree must score CGPA 3.5 and etc? Do they have such things?

some have some dont have

I reckon Strathclyde MBA via CDC and Manchester via Sunway will cost much more than Rm30k...Im not sure whether the Manchester MBA costs RM70k cause i cant find the brochure i downloaded, check with the sunway webbie...

Btw the two MBAs TS mentioned, i would go with Help and CS...

which have? which don't have?

HELP is partnership with charles stuart college... it is 32k, really out of budget...

how about the MBA in segi partnership with sunderland university?

is anyone at Manchester Sunway or Strathclyde CDC?

UPM- MBA- 20K
