I'm currently completing my final 2 ACCA papers. Was planning on doing MBA afterwards but not sure which is more prestigious to employers. I would like to do my MBA online or part-time and there are two options of either the Global MBA Online program by LSBF or the Oxford Brookes Global MBA program. And is it wiser to do MBA before gaining any work experience? I'm only 21 years old so I can still afford to spend time on furthering my studies. (I'm planning on joining one of the Big 4 once I'm done with my studies for my 3 years experience requirement.)

Doing a MBA before having working experience is a complete waste in my opinion. The MBA is not your usual Masters program. You need to first know if you actually need a MBA in the first place. Know your career path and understand where you are heading first before embarking on a MBA program. Many ppl I know with MBA's have not benefited from the MBA simply because they assumed that having a MBA would benefit them.

Whatever you do, do not embark on a certificate collecting drive. I know of many students who keep on collecting certs and assume that they will go far in their careers after. Education is important but in the corporate world, there are many other criteria / factors which determine your progression and education isn't always high up on that list.

And yes, many ACCA grads start off in the Big 4 for audit experience mostly but move on to other opportunities after 2-3 years. Life in the big 4 as an entry level graduate is far from rosy. Hope u are prepared for that.

Hi

hello all sifu actually im planning to take MBA course, but I have one concern that haunted me, cos Im original from multimedia and animation background, if I further my MBA now, and intend to specialized either global business or international marketing in my final sem, what kind of job and future await me? am I worth to employ? cos Im not so young anymore Im close to 29, my previous working experience I guess it hard to apply in my ideal industry

what's the best part time master course in klang valley (prefer PJ area or subang) ? i heard some program allow my final semester to be in the business school in europe?

If you read the posts above, its been clearly mentioned that the best MBA program in Malaysia currently is the Lancaster MBA offered in partnership with Sunway University.

Btw, in the search for educational excellence, one must be prepared to go the distance. Location should not be a selection criteria unless u're talking about a different state or country.

For the MIT - MISI Masters in Supply Chain Management part time program in Shah Alam for example, there are students who commute weekly by bus from Alor Setar just to attend classes and join assignment groups. There are also students who fly in from Indonesia on a weekly basis for the same reasons.

but the CDC seems interesting.

btw i want do part time.

Yes its all part time. Strathclyde MBA is 2nd best currently in Malaysia (based on world rankings). But the downside is the availability of getting funding assistance since u cant make EPF deductions.

Hi there

Feel free to drop by at CDC office this Saturday for the Strathclyde MBA preview session from 11am onwards.

Let me know if you have any questions!

Undoubtedly Sunway University is the stand out performer for business undergraduate studies. Sunway Uni has a higher number of PhD qualified staff, higher employability rates (2014 International Student brarometer) , and most degree programmes are partnered with Lancaster University. Lancaster University Management school is one of the UK's top business schools. In comparison Taylor's business school is partnered with lowly ranked University of West England.

Agreed. But in sunway wheter I should take FIA or MUFY to gt to this lancaster program. Which is faster and flexible?

Plus, I wanted to Study buisness administration but sunway is management. Is management the same as buisness administration?
