By talking and getting to know the facilitators u be able to tell whether they've got 'substance'... Yes, some schools would allow you to sit in on a class before you decide to pursue your studies with them.

Btw, I called Sunway College up to get some information on the Manchester MBA but well, they couldn't even put me through to the right people. Gave up and decided to just get back to work hence didn't make a 2nd attempt. Am looking through some other courses now instead

thanks Tinkerbel and StevenLee for the info.
i heard that if finish MBA program and work overseas, it will be easier to get a job back in Malaysia.

rockzerox,
You may decide not to want to come back after u've worked overseas *shrugs*. I wouldn't be surprised if your pay be higher because you would have accumulated some experience after your MBA and not come in as a fresh MBA with no working experience.

The one thing bad is you will have to start networking with the local again. Then again, it very much depends on the industry you're in. Mine's very much local

trying to get work experience before coming back here is a good thing. if you have a chance to do it (whether after MBA or undergrad or any Masters), perhaps you should consider it. some companies here would value your exposure overseas.

Returning after working overseas can be hard. Adjusting to less money, different lifestyle, driving in KL/PJ and simply having a different standard of living.

I know a few people who did it and I truly respect their dedication to their family/country/whatever that made them come back from greener pastures.

tishaban,
The grass is *ALWAYS* greener on the other side.... that's if we're standing on this side

bro, at the end of the day, its just the matter of each person' own perspective.

Having been on both sides, I still think the grass is greener on one side only

Tishaban,
Is it always greener on the side we're NOT standing on?!

one solution to the grass greener syndrome is to keep jumping to the greener pastures....

my wife and i did just that. we've worked in the US, Singapore, Thailand and now Malaysia.

Lady how right you are

Overall student profiles are pretty good in their MBA programme. The programmes are great !

But the administrative staff are pretty lousy ley.........they have lost my friend result transcript and other relevant academic documents. So she has to re-submit again. And EFP withdrawal also have to wait quite sometimes baru dapat, almost 4 months......

I think SEGi need to improve this area....

For those pursuing the SeGi MBA, beware and ensure you file everything - you wouldn't want to end up not being able to graduate just because of poor admin, as what autumnchild shared.

tishaban,
Let's try making it greener on this side?

is the MBA just the study of adminstration or can major in other business subjects??

wkf, they don't call it a "major" but a "concentration" in certain business areas. so yes, you can take the majority of electives to graduate with a concentration in marketing, finance, etc etc...

ihawk98,
It's called Specialisation, not concentration

i think it is a "difference" in american and UK english again....we called it concentration....

ihawk98,
we refers to what? American or British?

oops, "we" meaning my school which was an American one....

ihawk98,
Okies dokies...... Mine's called Major for undergraduate courses and for postgraduate courses, specialisation
