Geography is not within MBA scope...

Hi I plan to take MBA on a weekend to progress my career path from business analyst

my friend recommends me OUM as he got his there.

My questions is that taking MBA is it really the best way to grow my career or should I take certs related to BA like CMBA or move towards PMP?

Folks, do you know any school which has MBA program during weekdays evening instead of weekends?

Thanks

INTI University recently offered MBA course @ RM1k/mth for 2 years.
Any comments on that?
I'm interested to undertake that course.

Check for world MBA ranking if u keen for good course.
(Not uni ranking because usually this ranking do not inc business school where as MBA ranking inc business school).

So u choose a MBA course based on price? Are u just doing a MBA to collect a piece of paper?

Please read all my previous postings on this thread and then decide if u want to do this MBA course or not.

Well my boss asked me to take MBA or else I cannot be promoted to higher management level...

Uniten (Universiti Tenaga Nasional)
My friend is taking his masters there now

So, perhaps you should probe further what kind of MBA your company prefers

My boss says just get any MBA will do and we'll reward you accordingly
So I'm a little dumbfounded

I see, then go according to your preference and budget. Be practical

is mba very important for the career path ?

Nobody talked cock on this thread until you came along. So unless uve got something constructive to share I suggest you leave the commenting to those of us who know what we're talking about. He came here for advise and that's what he got.

is not the key factor but as u move up, basically u r moving away from specialty to more 'general' management.
MBA provide a structured knowledge that will help u such as finance, hr, strategy, operation, analytic etc.

lets drop it folks...yeah some posting here may be at a trolling level, but we shall not generalize it.

Cheers

im was working in accounting/finance line, thinking whether wanna take mba as further study.

Hi all,

I'd need an advice here. Always wanting to enrol MBA programme for career progressions and also networking - preferably specialising in international business or finance.

Here's my particulars:
1. First degree - BSc (Hons) Acctg and Finance - Sunway Uni affiliated with Lancaster Uni (don't have good grade)
2. ACCA Affiliate - recently just obtained membership - ACCA member now
3. 3 years working experience in Big4
4. Have experience in research
5. Budget around RM30k self-funded
6. Future prospects: build own business by 30yo (current age 25)

I have two choices in my mind:
1. University Malaya MBA - part time (can self funding since fee around RM30k)
2. Sunway-Lancaster MBA - part time (I'm their ex-student however no discount due to bad results in degree - fees are costly to me)

Should I,
(A) Proceed with 1
(B) Proceed with 2, takes EPF 2/ bank loan/ PTPTN
© Do not start MBA so soon, but by when should be the right time?

Thanks for all your advice!

For those who have completed their mba, how do you get your survey done? I was wondering what if respondents lie and it affects the overall findings?

Hello everyone.
I went back about 10 pages and am still going through this thread.

I realized there are not many in Monash MBA. Anyone knows why?
Anyone knows what's roughly the age and experience of the participants there as it seems like it being a fulltime course might attract a younger (assumption is that younger people have less financial commitments) crowd.

Currently looking at MBA programs. I work offshore alot and am away for months, hence it's almost impossible for me to do it part time. If I were to do it full time, it would also mean quitting my job.

Looking at options as part time studies might take longer to complete and I cant afford being jobless for so long. Taking full time MBA looks like there isnt much options in KL too (Monash seems to have some reputation).

Hopefully can get in touch with anyone here who studied in Monash MBA program

Look at MBA rating instead uni rating. This is because lots of business school is highly regards in industry but not in uni rating. They are listed in MBA rating.

Most reputable MBA allow you to adjust the semester scheduling eg do 1 semester from apr to July then skip sept- feb sems then continues as your time permit. Also adjust load, eg 2 or 4 subject as you can bear.
Usually as long as within 6-7 years to complete the syllabus then you are consider conplete.
