Dun say like that. UPM's MBA is quite good and is quite established as well.

University of Nottingham is the best for MBA

u mean locally right? anyways i saw an ad on the papers a few days ago about the University of Strathclyde's MBA being offered here... how does a Scottish MBA compare to a UK one?

Indeed.  I feel there is no point contemplating hard about whether UPM is better than MMU, or if Nottingham is better than Strathclyde.  So long as the institution is a respectable one, one shouldn't be perpetually questioning if this MBA is better than the one next door.

Pai, do you know the answer to the above?

oic, i thot u knew coz u said it was the best MBA to take in Malaysia...

coz, if the degree awarded is not the same and it's not taught by the original uni staff, then the original uni's ranking and accolades are not relevant at all. it will end up a Sunway degree, which is worth little.

allow me to correct you. it is run entirely by Nottingham staff, regardless if it's hired locally or seconded from UK (yes, some are). the course syllabus and teaching is the same, and the marking is also done a 2nd time by UK.

the degree awarded is identical to the UK because it is not a joint program with any local college or company, it is just another Nottingham campus located in Malaysia, so what's wrong with using Nottingham Uni's credentials in their ads?

you can refer here for more info:

or check the Nottingham uni thread in Lowyat.net , in fact a pharmacy student in the Malaysian campus was top student last year, beating those in the UK campus.

r u from Manchester/Sunway Uni just because u said it's the best? no right?

The quality of their facilitators and course structure should be able to give you a rough idea...    Also, good to you may mean lousy to others hence at the end of the day it really boils down to how and what you're going to learn throughout the duration of your course 

I know a few people who did it and I truly respect their dedication to their family/country/whatever that made them come back from greener pastures.

Been trying to contact Alice from Sunway College about that damned Manchester Business School MBA but she's never in. Or she's out for lunch and she's not coming back. Idiots should really have someone else that has information about the MBA instead of a person that's never there to answer enquiries. Anyway, I think the MBA is about RM60k+

Regarding the Nottingham MBA, it's RM46k and they have a center in KL too. Not too bad, but it's still rather expensive.

The Strathclyde MBA is also close. Quite expensive at RM49k with a RM3k discount if you register for it now or something.

Any others I should be looking at right now?

wana pursue an MBA...i had been surveying at HELP, sunway, UM & SEGI...im planning to take out EPF.IM planning to pursue at SEGI due to its cheaper..somehow HELP & sunway is abt RM30-35k...SEGI is only abt 27-29K...USQ....but my concern will i be hard to cope with MBA wich im planning to take part time....im graduate in degree in Eng. & working abt 5 years & now im 26 years old...my experience working is 2year plus in production line & 2 years in project management....all the while i was in engineer position...
