QUOTE(Pai @ Jan 14 2007, 05:51 PM) eh guys, in your opinions, is it better doin' p/time MBA at : 1. a local uni (UM, UIAM) OR 2. college with overseas twinning programs? (sunway, nottingham) It would be great if u guys can explain briefly the reasons behind your preferences. Thanks in advance guys  Get the foreign one. Local Us don't have the reputation and name recognition of the foreign Us. It's a sad fact of life.

QUOTE(elmofudd @ Jan 14 2007, 05:58 PM) Nottingham is not an overseas twinning program. They have 4 campuses and two of these campuses are overseas. It's taught and managed by Nottingham, not any local institute. The degree awarded is also identical to the degree awarded in UK. By the way, The Star newspaper reported that an MBA from UK recognized universities automatically gain entry requirement to work in UK under their highly skilled workforce program. nottingham ranked number 99 in the top 100 business school for mba....there are a few good universities in singapore...

tinkerbel,
An online degree is considered a form of distance learning. But the name 'online degree' brings on many negative perceptions as compared to 'distance learning'. To illustrate, the Uni of London is the earliest distance learning course established ('external degree course' to be exact) and is still prestigious now. Although it has enabled web access to it's resources, nobody calls it an 'online degree'.

I agree wth Nottingham too. It is the best if you could study in UK for few weeks too.
The fees of Charles Sturt frm Help college is relatively low, just doubt abt the quality.
You can consider local U for the part time course too.
Yeah, did not see for MBA advertisement for quite some time. Dont know if any stories inside.

QUOTE(seantang @ Jan 14 2007, 09:56 PM) Only 50 British MBAs on the list. But 50... that's about all the MBAs lah. But only for those who graduated after 2004. seantang, this is the 2nd time u spoke in this thread without bothering to check ur details. actually, only 10 of the 50 MBAs listed are from UK.

Earlier someone mentioned Australia's AGSM. Perhaps I'm a pure-breed Aussie grad, my preference sways towards AGSM than Nottingham Malaysia

e30, X years of work experience will be sufficient to get you into the course. More working experience at X level will be required should you not have a basic degree.
If you oredi have a basic degree, it doesn't matter if that is an Engineering, Architecture or Law degree. A business degree is NOT a prerequisite into an MBA.

MBA stands for Master in Business Administration Dont get confuse with Master in Knowledge Management, Master in Physics, Master in Law. Those are totally different master. Hate people keep asking what I am studying when I already told them it is MBA. MBA in what (stupid question).

jackal1950, Perhaps when people ask you, they actually wanna know if you're specialising into a specific stream, or just pursuing a general MBA.
Y the frustrations? So, MBA in what?! *grins*

This 2nd one, I concede. I mis-read British-approved as British period. The 1st one... rubbish. I merely pointed out that the Top 100 Unis and Top 100 MBAs are 2 entirely different rankings. You just needed to be more specific.

Actually, seantang's right. Top Unis and Top MBA's aren't ranked the same. It also depends on who's doing the research and on what basis are they ranked such, etc.
