For the long run,it would be worthit as your salary will be increased tremendously.Maybe you can apply from your company to support your education fees but in result you may have to tie yourself with them for about 2 years.

Xai-V-iaX,

1) How well-paid are you??  Above 10K per month??

2) How much more will you get paid if you have a MBA??

3) How much lost income for 2 years??

4) How much it costs to get a MBA??

5) How old are you?? Remember, you make the most money before 40.  After 40, regardless of what you have (with or without MBA), you may not have a job??

Somehow, I have a FEELING That PMP is cheaper and better for an Engineer in Malaysia.  The ROI (Return on Investment) is better.  Most Engineer rise to the Project Manager and stop there.

The bottom line is do your ROI calculation.

P.S.:  My gut feeling tell me that it is NOT worthwhile unless your company sponsor you.  MBA is a dime a dozen now a day.  With the collapse of financial industry, we can find plenty of unemployed MBAs.

30 to 50k seems kind of cheap. I'd always thought MBAs cost 100k above. Heck an old friend of mine is doing his online and already paying 120k for the 2 years.

Xai-V-iaX,

As a person with 20+ years of working experience, my gut answer to you is NO.  It is NOT worth it.

You have ONLY 2 to 3 years working experience.  You need at least 5 years working experience to supplement your MBA to make the difference.

As I said it, take PMP class.

Does Sunway offer an EMBA from Manchester? isn't it a MBA?
2-3yrs of working experience can do EMBA? wow!

don't misunderstood the EMBA = executive MBA its MBA for Engineering Business Managers (EMBA)
http://www.sunway.edu.my/index.php?option=...lang=iso-8859-1

I got to agree with dreamer, 2-3yrs of working experience, only willing to pay 80K..
Not worth it. the value of a MBA program kinda increase with the amount of investment U put in.

your date of birth,month and year-let me see if it is a good decision or not.

Just go, good luck.

where are you planning to get you MBa?

agree totally

get a oversea paper will be better

y ha???? MBA fee very expensive??? about 20k??? the other course not really expensive la.... such as Master in Science etc???  need 2 know...

Why would you 'downgrade' from an Exec MBA to a MBA now? How many years working experience do you have and what industry are you in?

Well, i dont think there are any credible Exec MBA programs here in Malaysia. Nearest such program which is credible is NUS, INSEAD or the UCLA - NUS program. All in Singapore and all super expensive.

Hello there,

You are more than welcomed to revisit Strathclyde MBA programme on either of the dates below:

29 January 2015, Thursday, 7pm
31 January 2015, Saturday, 11am

Strathclyde Executive MBA is known for its quality in teaching as well as the emphasis in Corporate Strategy (being ranked at 4th in the world for Corporate Strategy - FT Global MBA Ranking 2014). Of course it is also in the top 100 best MBA in the world (FT Global MBA Ranking 2014) & 1 of the only 66 business schools around the world that has triple accreditation.

Feel free to contact me if you need more info.

Thanks!

P/S: The fee has never past RM80k in Malaysia, maybe in the future but if you're referring to the full time in UK, then probably.

Yes I am representing CDC. And yes, Strathclyde MBA is still here (it's been 26 years now & counting!), managed by CDC.

You need to be clear as to why you want to do an MBA. Many of those who take MBA programs do so without any forward planning as to why they wanna do an MBA or what they hope to gain from it. DOnt just take an MBA for the sake of getting a piece of paper. The working world doesnt just recognise a piece of paper (unless its from Harvard or any of those Top 10 MBA's). The recognition from the working world has to go hand in hand with you as an individual.

A MBA is not like a degree whereby you need one in order to practice in your respective fields. So unless you have a clear picture of where or who you want to be in the future, the MBA may not be for you.

Also keep in mind that MBA's are usually for those between 25-30 with about 8 yrs experience. Beyond that, an MBA may not be suitable as the modules are catered for those seeking to move horizontally e.g changing industries, career paths, etc. For those with more than 10 yrs experience, going down the path of an Executive MBA is more suited as it gears you to move up the ladder into senior management roles.

The biggest draw for any MBA program is actually the alumni network. In fact, if you speak to any of the alumni from the top business schools, ull see that they will rank alumni networking as their No 1 take away from the program.

Agreed with your comments on 2 fronts e.g the accredition of the business school and the fact that Lancaster has now overtaken Strathclyde on the rankings.

My queries:

1) Does the Lancaster MBA program here in Malaysia also enjoy the same triple accredition that the business school has?

2) In what way does the Lancaster MBA program offered by Sunway differ from the program in the UK or is it exactly the same?

Lancaster University Management School is triple acredited (i.e. AACSB, EQUIS, and AMBA accredited) and offers a highly ranked MBA programme (i.e. 50 on the latest 2015 Financial Times ranking). The MBA Dual Award Programme at Sunway University (in partnership with Lancaster University) is the same curriculumn as the Global MBA delivered by Lancaster University at other global locations (i.e. Singapore, Jordan, and Zambia). The same global team deliver the seminars and assess  the work, and graduates receive the same Lancaster MBA certificate and transcript. They also receive an MBA certificate/transcript from Sunway University.  Sunway University adds value through not just excellent resources in our purpose-built Graduate Centre,  but also provides a range of other important local attributes (i.e. regular networking events, professorial lecture series, professional staff to enhance graduate employability, managing the alumni network, support to attend conferences etc) and access to qualified local staff to support learning.

There seems to be some questioning in this thread on accreditation so let me very clear on this matter in confirming that STUDENTS IN THIS LEADING PROGRAMME ARE GAINING GENUINE ACCESS TO A TRIPLE ACCREDITED MBA. Any claims to the contrary are false.  Key to understanding this is that Students on the Sunway University MBA are also enrolled as students in an MBA at Lancaster University. The quality of the programme delivered in Malaysia (see above)  and the certificate/transcript are the identical.

We are proud to offer Malaysia's leading MBA and know that are current students are the best advocates for teh quality of the programme.
