I see, is the job market bad in Australia now?

Lancaster's fee is around RM73k now if i remember correctly.

I plan to work part-time as a Pharmacist in Malaysia and study MBA. Will be probably going back to Singapore after my MBA but will also strongly consider working in Malaysia as well.

Pharmacist jobs are lacking in Australia at the moment. I came back because of PR issues and also Singapore is closer to home in Malaysia =)

U doing it for paper value? Most ppl try to network. U network in Malaysia and return to Sg. Such MBA not going to cause any impact to career to compensation.

What's your goal? For paper then work and study a better "brand" mba.

Cheap and great program don't exist for MBA

Stop sulking, start reading the shortlisted journal articles, skim through the textbook and revise the slides

One thing you must do is to read the assessment instruction as it is different from what you said.

Must be the food

Hi all,


I am currently with Lancaster/Sunway MBA program, as previously stated I will more than glad to share with you my experience. I communicated with few members who enquire about the course and I will try my best to give you facts (not opinion, unless u want them) and you have to decide what suits u and your aspiration.


MBAs are not the same across Uni, you need to find one that work for you, and the delivery method is acceptable for u.

Cheers.

I've read your previous post and I don't see why you should hide your thoughts about the program. This is a forum and anyone is encouraged to share their thoughts. You shouldn't have felt guilty for telling the truth knowing that Lancaster promoted highly on its rankings and faculty or even try to frame that it's one of the best MBA in the world. If it doesn't live up to what it preached, post it up and let the world know. To those who asked you to delete your post, I guess they're just worried about the sunk cost (if you get what I mean, Lancaster MBA candidates).

Seems like the new Asia School of Business is set to be the most prestigous MBA programme in Malaysia. It's a collaboration with MIT Sloan and seems like a very global programme.

Hi guys, I have been closely following the discussions here. I am 27 years old this year, graduated with a degree in civil engineering, worked as a site-based project engineer for a year, then went on to help with my family business for a year. Taking an MBA has always been something I wanted to do back then because of my interest.

If I pursue a MBA, it would be because I want to equip myself with more business knowledge with regards to finance, marketing, management, accounting, etc (in addition to my day-to-day experience), and not because I want to climb corporate ladder or anything like that. I do not necessarily place importance in the accreditation by international business school accrediting bodies (though I understand recognition to a certain extent tells about the program's quality). I am also not necessarily looking for the best/higher ranking whatsoever because as many experts here have pointed out, the effectiveness of an MBA at the end of the day depends on oneself. Funding, mode of study comes secondary to me if we're talking about points of consideration.

Many of you here have more experience and know more than I do, hence my questions: should I work for another year or two? On average, universities that I've looked at (Monash, Nottingham, UPM, Heriot Watt, Sunway, Help, etc) need at least 2 to 3 years of managerial experience. Is there any particular business schools which you guys would recommend I look into?

Thank you.

Hi, unless you are applying to top top schools, I suggest that you proceed with your MBA plan as soon as possible. You already have 2 years of work experience, so it will be sufficient to apply to most of the schools that you mentioned. Another good school that you may consider is Henley's (University of Reading Malaysia). If you wait another 2 years and take a GMAT/GRE, you can apply to Harvard, Wharton, Insead, etc.

Hi OxDoc and Jamie9969,

I agree with you that it should not be a norm for hiding feedbacks and etc, no matter how ugly or beautiful those feedbacks are. In fact, transparency should be the pursuit of business and let alone an MBA course that produce business leader.

So...please don't delete your feedback on Sunway/Lancaster MBA. You are entitle to your opinion as long as those are fact based and not ill intention. I agree with you on some of the points, especially on the class size, logical level modelling and delivery style for that particular module. At the same time, I also encourage you to feedback to the school so that they do something about it, or should do something about it.

As for the sinister hint that about sunk cost by MBA candidates, again please feedback based on facts and not ill intention. I am following MBA course with Sunway/Lancaster and I can states that for most of my fellow course mate, learning and becoming better is our primary aim so we welcome feedback.

Only OxDoc knows the real reason behind why he/she deleted his/her comments.

I don't see the necessity to continue with this discussion unless OxDoc decided to reinstate his/her comment.

I am expressing my view of feedback should not be hindered and also that open feedback should be the way. It is not the intention to continue OxDoc.

Also, I am stating that I agree with some of his feedback on class size and etc.

Consider yourself lucky to be able to enrol in MBA course.
As Malaysian Education Standard is very very high.
I only have a diploma and a 20 years managerial position to offer.
From APEL to Inti, CDC, Olympia, Taylors, Sunway, Westminster, UM, APU, Monash, Nottingham, Sloan, Edinburg, Heriot, UPM, Putra, UKM, MUST, Berjaya, UCSI, TAR, WOU, OUM, AEU, MMU, AIMST, Help, Globalnxt, KLIUC,
I have been rejected in the face by most institution. college and Uni to attend an International and Malaysia recognized MBA

Hi there

Do you mind sharing when did you apply to CDC/Strathclyde and what's your full name (you may PM me too)? Perhaps I can help look into it? Strathclyde doesn't simply reject any candidate, especially not with the numbers of experience you have. Have you been interviewed by the university?

Thanks

Thank you for your suggestions, Rabloo.
