Yet I'm dealing with many part-time postgraduate learners with professional background undertaking local MBA programmes.



The job to market local MBAs is the prerogative of the public and private universities concerned.



Yet not all employers really taken to task to their employee on which MBA either local or international that they might've.



FYI I'm in higher education industry for the past 15 years and been dealing with higher education for working adults both in public and private sectors, so I'm not out of the loop.

Chill out guys. It is just matter of perspective and there's no one right answer on whether academic or not.

On one hand, executive degrees are certainly deemed non academic and cannot be used as part of your academic qualification for the next degree.

However on the other hand, it is true that EMBA is common and highly sought after in western countries for one reason, time.

On another point, non MQA or MQA accreditation programme is again another subjective measurement of the recognition of a certification. Like it or not, MQA only governs local programmes, for the obvious reason - Malaysia Qualification Agency.

So let lowyat forumer make their decisions based on their needs. I don't see why we need to come to one answer.

Anyone know about the MBA in Westminister IC in collaboration of Cardiff Metropolitan Uni in association of London School Of Commerce?

The cost seems cheaper with full time, MBA only a year.

What do you think about the quality of this MBA?

I am Malaysian currently studying MBA in Singapore . Do feel free to ask me any questions about the MBA programs in Singapore !

MBA grads & soon to be MBA grads, when is the right time to starting applying for a new job? Close to graduation or anytime throughout the course? Some schools also provide counselling/internship with their partnered companies.

Hi OxDoc,

After reading your comment, it reminded me for those were the few main reasons I signed up for Strathclyde MBA.
I'm in my third semester now and working assignment with my course-mate had brought me to different perception from my initial intention.
Having the privilege to work with business owner and high level ranking executive with industry background had me gained different learning experience and changed my point of view.
The Strathclyde MBA course complement these learning experience more effectively as their local council are top high rank corporate people that guide us in the course that willing to share how the real world ticks (domestic and global)
I have no regret for joining Strathclyde MBA and its totally worth it for paying the extra.

Having high rank officers working in a same assignment group really brings different learning experience. Expose to different teamwork dynamics as multiple industries background sitting in discussion room, throwing idea and pitching thought to buy others to sync into the same tune. I'm not all against the thought of leaving job opportunity aside for while in the course. But takes this opportunity also to network and grow them for better future prospect. The higher rank your network, the better chance to be up there. I seen many cases that job opportunities were given during the group discussion and even after local council session.

Anyone currently doing his or her mba in inti kl campus? Any opinion regarding this mba programma offered by Inti is also welcome:)

The NTU MBA is well accepted and widely recognized

Are you currently studying in NTU ?

Went to Edu Fair today at Mid Valley, pretty interested in Taylor's part time MBA(Fri/Sat/Sun) due to my work commitment (usually oversea for project on weekday), any comments about Taylor's part time MBA ?

Highest ranked MBA program in Malaysia currently is Sunway Lancaster MBA. Strathclyde comes 2nd. Besides these 2, I wouldn't bother with any others.

For australians grads with a 3 year working experience, maybe you can try this?

I did dropby Sunway University booth but they are too busy to explain more. Perhaps i should go to their Uni directly.

Do you know how is their part time schedule ?As i am not able to commit because usually i am flying on weekday (Mon-Thurs)

Anyone here knows of any Executive MBA programs which does not require a degree for admission? I heard there are courses whihc allows you to take MBA directly if you have 10 years working but im not sure where to look.

Please do advise if anyone knows.

Hi there

Strathclyde MBA does accept candidates from the "hardknock school" (candidates who doesn't have a proper degree qualification). Come and join us for our next preview sessions as below:
7 January 2016, Thursday, 7pm
9 January 2016, Saturday, 11am

You may register yourself for the preview here to confirm your seat: http://goo.gl/forms/2YpwmQrTpY

Scholarships are available for April 2016 intake!

Regards, Edahani

The Sunway Lancaster MBA program gets you 2 separate certs. One from Lancaster and one from Sunway. The only one that carries weight is the Lancaster one so why bother about Sunway not being triple accredited? You wont be using their cert anyway.

If im gonna be doing a MBA program in Malaysia, I would stick to the very best which is Lancaster.

But as I mentioned earlier, you first need to know WHY you're doing a MBA in the first place. Don't just do it because everybody else is doing it. You need to have clear goals and a clear career objective / path before embarking on the program. MBA doesn't suit/benefit everybody.

Hi all,

I am currently doing my MBA, will be more than happy to offer my experiences for your reference. Please note I am not associated with any recruitment nor university. I am here offering my experiences. I understand how uncertain it is to spend a large portion of your saving and how we all want the best out of our investment...so I hope I can share some of my experience and mistakes with you...

Again...I am here to offer sharing. IF u disagree please do not flame me because each of us have a different perspective and experience.
