why should a lawyer take an MBA? what can he gain out of taking an MBA?

London is small and there is probably less than 100 universities in London.. so being in the top 100 is no big deal.

Well my boss asked me to take MBA or else I cannot be promoted to higher management level...

My boss says just get any MBA will do and we'll reward you accordingly
So I'm a little dumbfounded

I would agree with the other posts that only the top ranking universities' MBA's would really make any substantial difference to your career.  You have to remember that from a time when only a few universities offered MBAs to a time now when almost every university has an MBA course, including online universities.  Basically, they are a dime a dozen.

Unless, you qualify from top ranked universities and the only one I know in South East Asia which in that category is INSEAD branch in Singapore, you will not see much difference in your career.  I know of a Vietnamese girl who worked as an IT personnel in Singapore for a number of years.  She then applied to University of Pennslyvania, Wharton to do their MBA (its ranked around top 4 in the world according to 2016 Financial Times ranking) and borrowed almost US$300,000 from Wharton university as a loan to do that MBA.  Luckily, she completed the course and is now looking for a job in USA.  She estimates that with a Wharton MBA, she should be able to pay off that loan in a few years.

So, try and see if you can go that route.  I believe that most of the top MBA universities in USA have special loan programmes for applicants who qualify for them (based on means test and academic ability).  She was from a lower middle class background in Vietnam and was self sponsored from her savings and loan from Wharton.  She did not want to do her MBA in Singapore because after checking all the facts out, she said that it was not worth spending thousands of dollars for an MBA from a university which is not ranked top 10 MBAs in the world.  Return from lesser ranked MBA universities did not justify the cost.

I see thanks, any chances anyone here got another list for the top mba university?

your last sentence is what i am afraid of. MBA is not cheap, and if we cannot gain what we hope to gain then MBA may be useless.

agree that our current boss may not care about whether we have an additional masters, let alone MBA. but i am hoping that in the event we decide to change job the MBA can help us to secure a higher position and hopefully a higher pay.

i'm asking as would like to have someone to verify this.
Considerations like these have to be taken into account for a job that travels around alot.

Again a silly question.

Refer the business school ranking discussion.

Many years ago, yes, as long as you have impressive work experience, but without a bachelor degree, you still can enrol in MBA course. Now, I heard (after checking MBA courses offered by local private universities & colleges), Bachelor degree is a MUST. Do correct me if I am wrong.

Unfortunately, PMI required to have experience in Managing to get that so looks like MBA was one of the better choices for me.

The msia’s MIT-Sloan is full time course.
Stracylde n lancaster available in part time.

oh ya i have no actual corporate working experience for mba..will that make me struggle to pass the mba?

your meaning is wont struggle due to lack of experience?

Is this true?

Both are important.

Accreditation is a way that tell the public that the course had met a certain requirement that been set by external bodies. The local delivery and learning experience will be another factor that a candidate should consider.
