Oh is it?
i also keen to know what happen

TOts,
Kellogs, Northwestern also offers an 'accelerated' full-time MBA - but there are pre-requisites. It is not meant for fresh graduates

can I take MBA after graduate from Bachelor of Accounting Hons?

MBA is open to everyone. It depends on the colleges' requirements because different college has different set of requirement. Some requires you to have working experience while some not. You need to find out what are the requirements for the colleges of your choice and the tuition fees. Since you have a Bachelor of Accounting, I think you will have a good track to do MBA because courses in MBA consist of International Management, Marketing, Accounting, Economics, Finance, Human Resource and etc.

Vertigo - care to update us on what your plan is now.. Im going along a similiar route.



Folks, Other than Manchester is there any other program with emphasis on Engineering ?
Is it the still the best ranked in Malaysia. Cost no issue as I can get a corporate sponsorship.

I'm also considering programs in SG, but with 7 yrs experience, I dont qualify yet for the ivy
league EMBA's. Plus those have a lot of out of town travel which Im afraid will conflict with work
schedules..

It is the first time i get to know company will sponsor MBA in Malaysia....so so nice


Anyone one know of MBA form University East England?
Refer to www.wimnet.org.my

Anyone studies Segi College University of Southern Queensland MBA program?

I asked my company HR to check whether this program is recognized by Malaysia Government.

It is really shock to find out the Segi College USQ MBA is not recognized.

Has anybody here investigate this issue before? I wonder how come so many people go for it if the program is not recognized by Malaysia Government ?

Or my HR has done a mistake in checking?

Does it necessary?What is the advantage recognize from malaysia government?

If the degree without accredited, definitely you are not able to work in Govt sector.

As for private, it depends.

Some companies won't care especially those ABC company. However, some of the established MNC will only take accredited degree holder, just like my company.

The key point here is, after spending so much time, efforts & most importantly --> MONEY, you do not want yourself being ruined due to your unaccredited degree when a great offer from established MNC land on your table, do you?

Latest update for course fee...
UEL MBA by woman institute malaysia is RM31.7k
They still claim an oversea MBA with local price in the ads....phew

One of the things you have to consider in choosing MBAs is whether they are 100% project based or there is a final exam as well. This is important because if you intent to go into the education line to teach as lecturer or professor, next time, your MBA might not be rcognised if it was 100% project based, with no exams at all. Certain univerisities donot employ lecturers or professors with such qualifications even though their MBA qualif. may be recognised by MQA and JPA.

I am happy we have WOU's ceMBA, otherwise I need to pay thru my nose for an MBA. The good thing about Wawasan Open university is that it is non-profit uni. So, it is not out to get as much money from students as other unis.

CeMBA is recognised in many countries and is in the process of getting international accreditation according to COL's website. At RM16k, I think it is value for money - it's not a local Msian MBA and yet it's not as expensive as some of the foreign MBAs in the market. And it is not a 100% project based MBA which many people think it's not that credible. You still have to sit for final exam. So, don't think you can copy projects and still get a MBA.

I saw the CeMBA requires a CeMAT test. Anyone knows is it the same as GMAT? Is that compulsory or what?

There is another new initiative by our government - Asia e University. The eMBA looks OK thou but seems lacking of information now.

Asia e University cost RM21k

Wow CeMBA is RM 16k but u only attend tuition class in a certain time and i wonder it will be the same with other MBA.

Without the link with other classmate is the disadv compare teaching face to face MBA. ANd a local MBA even u said it is no quality is cost u about RM 20k. Not much diff.
Is a distance learning MBA is better ?If u hv time to attend classes, a normal MBA suppose a better choice..

Its not just applicable to education line only, its applicable to others career as well. I was feedback that to obtain a 50% exam & 50% assignment which will be recognize by most employer.

Is it advisable to take an MBA course right after graduating with very minimal work experience?

Ranked top 5 modern universities in the UK but errhmm....the ranking from Times Good University in the last few years says otherwise.....top 5 from below.

Got better in 2008. Ranked 99 out of 113....

Added on August 26, 2008, 2:53 pmSounds sad but the only option is for you to fork out more $$$ for a conversion or top up either to RMIT or UniSA since these are all Aussie universities.

Yeah! chgchksg128.... if I have the luxury, I'll definitely won't go for online MBAs. Seems like the AEU is a big initiative but looking very quiet. Still new and very hard to gauge what kind of stuffs they are offering now.

Without the link to other classmates? In this concept of WOU's Distance Learning, you will be connected by WOU's own study forum and your tutors may even arrange you together by groups who discuss thru MSN or Yahoo messengers. WOU has regional offices in KL, JB, Ipoh, Kota Bharu and Penang. So, each regional students can group toegther in their respective states/towns. There are many tutors for the same subject. Studying by distance learning is very advanced now , not like last time... when distance learning means studying by snail-mail correspondence.

Even in classrooms MBA, do you think you got som much time to meet with your fellow classmates, meh? Practically, we also discuss by emails, MSN, or webcams... just like the methods used by Distance Learning unis like WOU. The only difference is WOU is well-equiped with state of the art teleconferencing equipments that link all the regional offices for important lectures conducted by one lecturer, say from Penang HQ. Other small unis may not have such facility.

So, why pay so much for an MBA? At the end fo the day, it's still your job-related skills and performance that will determine your salary increment and bonuses. Also, how you performed during job interview will determine whether you get the job or not... Expensive MBAs donot guarantee employment if you cannot speak well, or related well to people, or cannot perform at your work. I spoke to one HR consultant and trainer today about this, and he agreed.
