well, from the looks of it... it is not direct MIT.. not saying it is a dud but its offering is not original..

MISI full time not MIT full time... everything from the venue to the staff to the facilities... materials might be the same but is the delivery the same?

if i am wrong then i stand corrected... i have no stake in this n ntg 2 gain.. others can see by themselves.. MIT or MISI

The lecturers are direct from MIT. If the lecturers are from MIT itself how can the delivery not be the same?? If thats the case then INSEAD would be a damn failure. The course slides and content is direct from MIT USA. The content is standard in MIT USA and across the 4 centres worldwide. Everything is the exact same except the facilities. How can the facilities be the same when they are thousands of miles apart???

This is the CEO of MISI Malaysia and he himself teaches 2 subjects on the program here in Malaysia: I challenge you to contact him and raise all these blind statements of yours. But i know you wont cuz deep down you know that uve been proven wrong.

If ure not sure about the course, then make sure. Do your research and get the facts. Start backing up your statements with proof instead of just blindly blowing hot air.

Is it? how many staff are direct from MIT? from the faculty list doesnt look like so... course slides n content dont really matter these days... with internet you can get all of those... delivery? that you cant... well, go to insead sg and compare with insead in eu... and btw, this is a network... not a joint offering...

nah, wrong or not doesnt matter... just not worth my time.. not going there also

already mentioned... it is not by MIT.. that's a fact.. whatever u want to say how close it is like MIT, staff from MIT, contents from MIT... it is not MIT... it is MISI... if it is MIT, it would be MIT alone with no other parties involved..

some other schools have joint partnership to offer distant learning... but the cert comes directly from that school, so that's their prob.. this one is not. the cert is from MISI and you cant claim it is from MIT because it is not... no matter how similar or close they are.. will grads be part of MIT alumni? will they have full benefits of a MIT alumni member? i guess not...

not gonna dwell longer in this matter.. if u think i am wrong then i am wrong.. shall end this discussion here, ppl can draw their own conclusion

Yes all graduates from this program are MIT Alumni and they get FULL BENEFITS. Every single one of the teaching staff are from MIT USA. I dare you to contact MIT direct and ask. But we all know you wont cuz the result would be quite embarassing for you. Nothing to do with your time. U have alot of time to respond to these posts and u post other crap on other threads and yet u somehow dont have time to spend 10 mins writing to MIT???

The more u raise issues the more ive made it clear that u are wrong, have been wrong from the start and will continue to be wrong. U cant dwell on it cuz u know that uve been screwed big time by your own junk theories.

In future, check before making statements. The truth can be very painful especially for someone like you with an ego the size of a planet. Its been great conversing with you. Its so much fun to prove a point and have the other party back off cuz he knows darn well he was wrong from the start.

LOL

Hi there, dropped you an email yesterday

Thanks

the 'NO' was pretty big n red n obvious ... so was the 'associate member'

Confirmed Associate member status will allow you to register for an Infinite Connection account and have access to the online alumni directory. However, you will not be able to utilize the email forwarding for life (alum.mit.edu) service as EFL is only available to MIT alumni.

I know McKinsey doesn't exclusively take from top/ivy league uni. From personal research, these consulting companies also seem to prefer candidates with Engineering degrees + MBA. I've also heard rumors that McKinsey has taken in graduates from 1~2 local unis.

My advice? Apply even if you don't think you have the "preferred" requirements. Let them make the decision on hiring. Best not to limit yourself.

Seriously i dont really know why are being so fancy about getting into a top university.. Hprm.. i can understand your inferiority complex but dont need to devalue local university like shit... just saying

Anyone consider doing MBA from Open University UK? Fully online MBA - but triple accredited

How do u know strathclyde MBA students are higher quality than Lancaster? While both are relatively easy to enter, In fact Lancaster have slightly more stringent entry req.

Yr second statement is again another sweeping statement. Is there an evidence to prove it? Or maybe yr colleagues are based in Scotland hence know strathclyde better than lancaster? I have colleagues in London n I have meetings very often with them. To most londoners colleagues, lbs, insead or iese are the famous ones. I think Those rank above 50 in ft, eg Strathclyde or Lancaster n the likes are all in the same category, nobody really cares which is better.

But ultimately, no matter which MBA u take. A person career success mainly lies on his/her attitude . Paper qualification is just a minor catalyst.

hello after reading all your comments, I am wondering why UNIMAS in kuching only offer RM 22k for whole course. Wondering if the standard is acceptable compare to other University.

I am thinking to apply for MyBrain scholarship.

U are comparing Strathclyde / Lancaster with INSEAD and the likes? Common my friend. Do an apple to apple comparison. Are u even reading my posts above? I already said Strath / Lan dont come close to the Ivy LEague MBA programs. Lets be logical here.

Paper qualification is secondary i agree but in MBA programs and many other post grad programs, the quality of that paper has a major impact on career progression. U come out into the world with an INSEAD MBA and u get instant recognition which in turns opens doors. Its then up to the individual to decide and work through these doors. Try doing that with a Strathclyde / Lancaster MBA. The number of doors it opens are far less. Thats why there are sooo many ppl today with MBA's who just have a piece of paper and 3 letters next to their name with limited benefit career wise.

And that is a FACT.

Online MBA's are always shunned upon by the big industry players regardless of accredition. But i dont know much about this Open Uni so wont comment more.

How do you consider a MISI student as a MIT student when they are at different centres? If the syllabus, teaching staff, program content and the certification is from MIT then why would anyone wanna bother if a MISI student is technically considered the same as a MIT student? Wont matter one bit in the working world.

Anyway, why only ask these 2 questions? Why not bring up all the other mumbo jumbo uve been claiming from the start?

I challenge you to ask the following questions based on statements you made earlier and post the responses here:

1) Is this MISI Masters in Supply Chain program a dud program / conjob because your website gives me the impression that it is.

2) Is the 1 month attachment at MIT Boston just 'main-main' only just like how TARC students go to Sheffield?

3) I believe the qualification is not from MIT but from the local institution no matter what's the form of collaboration given. I believe the cert is from MISI and you cant claim it is from MIT because it is not. Please confirm the accuracy of my statement.

4) Please confirm if the teaching staff for the program are from MIT itself

5) I believe the quality of students for the MISI is subjective. Do you release application success rate? or avg gmat scores? income of student? Please confirm these.

because it is technically different... it is not the same.. MISI is MISI... certification is from MISI.. ntg 2 do with MIT

isnt it a month at MIT?

so it not from MIT, it is not MIT... it is all MISI

dont need confirm la.. u go confirm.. y me.. i cant be bothered, already email.. u want u email la

Although I find it very informative reading through the arguments above, I don't see what's the point of arguing against each other's statement. But to claim Strathclyde MBA is the best in Malaysia is simply ridiculous! by what? accreditation? alumni network? post MBA salary and prospects? ranking? (OK, i agree it's one of the highest in Malaysia, but are you sure the course experience delivered here in Malaysia is the same as Scotland's? I don't know and I'm not trying to make assumption, so don't argue, TQ) you may continue to think in that way, it's up to personal preference, and also depends on how you perceive 'best'. Those who clearly understand the value of their choice will prefer to lay low and let success make the noise.

Thats where u are wrong again. Ive already told u the certification is from MIT but you still insist otherwise. I dont need to confirm anything. I know what i know and what i know is 100% correct. Its you who needs to do the confirming but u wont cuz u know that i am right.

P/s werent u the one who said u werent gonna respond anymore?

ok ok.. from MIT... you mentioned it not me.. when ppl are mislead at least i am not the one being cursed..

Then feel free to correct my 'fact' above. But u cant can u? Then you are in fact already making an assumption even though u think ure not. Tell me the course which is better than Strathclyde in Malaysia. While ure at it, go find out why the Manchester MBA program was stopped at Sunway and moved to Singapore. And yes ive done my research on the accredition, alumni network, course participants, etc. and there is no personal preference when it comes to post grad courses. If the course is good then its good for very specific reasons. There is no 'feeling' or 'personal preference' involved. The defining factor is whether you have the brains to qualify for the program or not. If u knew me in real life, u would never doubt any of my info above.

Btw, my 'noise' is purely for others to learn how to make the correct choices and not be taken in by the crap salesman talk that private colleges in Malaysia are famous for. Im not interested in any of the MBA courses in Malaysia so i stand to make no gain from promoting Strathclyde or the likes.

Why was it stopped?
