I don't need to get into the Top 100 Unis. Just give me a place in ANY uni ! kEKkekeekkekeke

elmofudd,
If i did, apologies. Anyhow, MBA or no MBA, life still goes on

I've no idea but I think basically we're out of topic...........

And, would someone like to define 'media-related' courses for me? My definition of it differs with that of my other peers, as such I would like to seek some opinion here.

Care to light my path?

What other Master programs available at Nottingham Uni, KL?

Sesshoumaru,
Perhaps they're updating the site? *shrugs* Oh btw, I know someone who can sell fridges to the eskimos... hehEHEe *grins* While I'm learning to sell shoes to snakes ...

ihawk98,
I'm sure not *all* students with insufficient working experience were considered 'myopic' in their views... perhaps majority of them but surely there are a handful who were able to contribute?

The point here is that it is important be able to share your work experience and knowledge accumulated through the years with other classmates. To share is to care, to care is to teach and to teach is to learn

ky_khor,
You shouldn't find it difficult to get into an MBA course with working experience. Obviously if one has a minimum of 3 years at Middle Management, he shouldn't have problems getting into an MBA.


PS: 3 years work experience at Middle Management, would translate to probably an estimated of total 5-6 years of work experience.

Teong,

'Leadership', 'Empowerment', 'Delegation' aren't MBA buzzwords - they're just more applicable in the Management level

"key takeaway"? Er.. I must have been sleeping or perhaps it's just not part of MY syllabus! kEKekekke... Then again, i specialised in the areas of Strategic Marketing, so throw Marketing jargons at me instead, please But right now, I want a "meal takeaway"..

..Anyone care to join me for lunch? *g*

A good MBA shouldn't be judged by their rankings. You need to look at course structure, facilitator and most importantly, the person who's pursuing it. Also, it makes a lot of difference when you use your MBA learnings at the workplace - most people just don't.

There are just too many lazy people around *sigh* Or perhaps they just lack commitment?

Creamer,
With or without an MBA, the world still goes on. At the end of the day, learning is lifelong, and the MBA among other things shows ur future employer the dedication and commitment you have. Whether you're able to utilise the learnings of your MBA is a different matter altogether.

rockzerox,
Fresh as in with NO work experience whatsoever? It'll be the same as a fresh undergrad graduate if u asked me, possibly between 1.8-2k.

I enjoy learning, but i don't enjoy the Academic parts to it, so how ah?!

rockzerox,
I'm of the opinion that a person's salary is justified based on his responsibilities and commitment level at work. You may be a fresh MBA grad with 2 years of working experience (which btw, is rather minimal work experience if u asked me) who starts of earning RM2.3k and within the next 6 months, if your performance shows you're capable of handling bigger tasks and responsibilities, your salary will then be automatically adjusted upwards.

Another problem with 'fresh' MBA holders today think just because they've got an MBA in hand, they're better than their colleagues with 15 years of experience. Initially, there's still lots to learn from them so don't see urself as someone superior to them

Would it not be easier for those wanting to pursue the Manchester MBA just give them a call to get information? Also, even for those who's not interested, if you wanna know, just call Sunway and disturb them...

I'll give them a call if I wasn't sooOo bz at work - then again, I wonder, would their first question to me be similar to something like "the MBA costs RM90k (or whatever that figure is)"..... in other words, If u can't afford it, don't waste our time answering ur question... I got that before in the past!

tishaban,
You sound so worked up! And that didn't even happen to you but well, truth is what I related above did really happen, though it wasn't with the Manchester MBA. About 7 years ago when I was looking to pursue my MBA, I called up a local institution who was handling one of the more recognised UK MBA only to be told off that if I didn't have RM45k, there was no point in speaking to them.

Admittedly, I felt it was totally uncalled for and unprofessional but ah well, life is such; even for educated people. In fact, about a year and a half ago I walked into Hour Glass to buy my a gift for mom and was looking at some watches only to be snubbed off by the store manager. It was only because his assistant gave me great service I bought the watch from them - and I stipulated to ensure the sales commission went to everyone else in the shop but the store manager himself *grins* He was lucky I was in a good mood otherwise I would've written an official complaint letter straight to HQ

elmofudd,
Maybe I'll call Sunway and check and then I'll let u people know IF the same thing happened again

tishaban,
I will make noise when it's necessary. And when I do make noise, it can become quite a big deal *grins* Guess we're pretty similar in some ways huh?

The quality of their facilitators and course structure should be able to give you a rough idea... Also, good to you may mean lousy to others hence at the end of the day it really boils down to how and what you're going to learn throughout the duration of your course

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

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
