Guys... any good uni for MBA course in Penang? I am 30 with 6 years of working exp in executive level.

If you're looking for part time flexible MBA programme for working adults in Penang, then I suggest Wawasan Open Uni or Open University Malaysia.

OTOH, USM also offers MBA on part time basis.

Does anyone have local stats that talk about the benefit of having an MBA in Malaysia to salary/career progressions? Would be interesting to see.

Hi,

I am planning to take up MBA course in Malaysia. I am considering SEGI and MMU.

Anyone here has taken this course in any of the private college? Mind to share your reviews?

Thanks.

Hi,

Just checking if you know anyone enroll in any of these universities? Need to know their review on this as compared to other varsities.

Thanks

After completed MBA, managed to switch from engineering role to a managerial role.

in a dillemma to choose between msc business management with finance...or mba
is mba actually worth taking it? the reason i want to take up either of that two is cuz i feel degree is not enough...

oh ya i have no actual corporate working experience for mba..will that make me struggle to pass the mba?

nope, not at all.

your meaning is wont struggle due to lack of experience?

Within the same field?

It's relative. Of course you have less relevant experience in relating to your course, but it doesn't stop anyone from learning. Subjects in MBA is actually like introductory courses to all business school related subjects.

I graduated from international business school under UTM.

Most classes are in weekends and assignments or group collaborations on weekday.


Was a tiring 2 years but glad I made it

yes

Mind telling us what you define as an 'engineering role' and a 'managerial role'?

engineering role = technical role, managerial role = people management role

For full time option, suggest to go for Asia School of Business / MIT.
For part time option, suggest to go for either Strathclyde or Lancaster-Sunway.
Go for their MBA preview sessions and decide for yourself which one suits you more. You can even ask to sit in their actual classes!
Ask them about things like:
1. modules & electives (if any) - do they interest u?
2. how are u graded - assignment, exam, class partication, group project? (this is to suit your learning style. E.g. If you don't like to write reports, assignment are gonna be a real torture. In my opinion, MBA is about interaction and working with your peers so it should not be purely academic - you are training to be more of a better business practioner rather than a researcher, although you will definitely learn Masters level research skills.)
3. how is the alumni network - what are the events that u can attend and connections that you can make
4. Support & facilities available for students. You will definitely need good library resources to borrow books from. Online resources and portals?
5. Strathclyde/Lancaster/MIT - can you spend a semester or do some modules in the partner University. Can you choose to attend the graduation seminar there if you want to?

MBA is a HUGE investment of money, time and effort. I would encourage you to make an informed decision as much as possible. Worst thing you can do is to get into a program and then regret it afterwards.

All the best!

Bro, that's not an explanation. That's just a different word for the same thing. Im asking what were you actually doing as part of your Engineering role vs your current Managerial role.

Honest review, USM. OUM / WOU basically same-same oni.
