All, I know there is a thread of MBA.
However, I just want to know the quality of the local MBA.
Some said, not worth taking a local brand MBA or less prospect.
I list down some of the local MBA
MMU
UM
UPM
UKM
UTM
UUM

Any one study or graduated form the above MBA?
Mind to share your experience and also your current working after MBA??

Thanks for sharing.
We all know a prestigious MBA, like Manchester from Sunway and Nottingham are costly.
Local one is more affordable. But is it worth the value (time and money).

Save your money, go for the better ones.
Seriously.

ok in 2003 ranked higher than monash. i thought honestly they were talking about 2006 or later mba rankings. i didnt think asia inc rankings were for 2004 my mistake. but so far you have not shown me any evidence that monash is higher than upm. although upm must have gone down the rankings since 2004 otherwise they wouldnt still advertise 2004 7th best on their website would they. i'll do a websearch and see what i can find.

southeast Asia
National University of Singapore (NUS) Business School, Singapore
Nanyang Technological University (NTU) Business School, Singapore
Asian Institute of Technology (AIT) School of Management, Thailand

There's also Insead and the Chicago Business School in SG.

But seriously, I doubt UPM is that good.

Added on April 1, 2008, 12:14 ami hate to say it but this is the reason why malaysia is on a downslope. everyone wants to be foreign. everyone wants to go foreign countries, get foreign education, behave like a foreigner, get foreign stuff. if you're good why dont you go to upm and get the best possible grade you can and when you're there at upm gsm why dont you form a clique with all your peers and develop a special spirit so that you can raise the profile of the business school.

I mentioned Insead and CBS to add to your list of best B-schools in SE Asia. It wasn't about the cost.

Seems like I touched a nerve there... you from UPM? tongue.gif

Blind nationalism gets you nowhere. I demand the best my money can get me, and sadly the best schools I can afford are NOT in Malaysia.
Give me a reason to do it locally - are our schools anywhere near the Top 100 (or even 200)?
Why do you think the govt spends millions to send our best and brightest overseas? What does that say about the govt's confidence in their own IPTAs?

<BTW, I am good. cool2.gif I have worked in one of the biggest companies in the world and have studied in some of the best schools on the planet. tongue.gif >

blind nationalism is what built japan into what it is today.

Ah, but they got the right attitude and the right approach. They took the best from China and the West, modified it to fit with their local customs and voila: a world power.

What about us? What is our attitude ("tidak apa") and what is our approach (NEP)?
It is not nationalism that we have, but an obsession with race: that one race has some god-given right above all others.

Those who has do some reserch may know you will only get the ranking of ancient old ranking from Asian Inc. This is some years back and defiantely not a good guidance.
Ranking for Malaysia is not existence in TopMBA ranking.
So if you have no knowledege in this, don't be rude. We have enough uncivilised forumers although they are minorities, and we definately no need one that not come here to seek or provide constructive info,opinion or view.If you want to make chaos, just ignore this thread to others place.
To others forumers
First hand info from those study in local MBA cyrrently or before is the betetr way as the ranking is yrs ago and can not refelcts the current condition.
I believe although of the lower quality (depends which MBA u compare with), there are ppl that interested local MBA due to some reaons I listed
1. Lower tuition fee (some even below RM20k)
2. location (depends on the place u work or stay)
3. Doubt of oversea MBA that taught in collge. Yes, MBS at SUnway and University of Nottingham not in this category, but others MBA from oversea from college not certainly higher quality.
4. No need GMAT. Insead, LBS, NUS, Warwick Business school, all require high GMAT score. Even NUS need a 600, others at least above 650.
No one here to arguing local MBA is not 1 tier, I think all the people here know that. No argument. But how bad or how good it is, this is what we want to discuss here.

Lets continue this thread with good discusiion manner

Any info from ppl with MBAs from IPTAs would be good. We can all pick their brains.

You want to go to a B-school that doesn't use GMAT for screening? Then why go for an MBA at all?

Good Lord... have you all forgotten the power of teh Google?

An Exec MBA is the "platinum" version of your regular MBA. It's meant for ppl with significantly more working experience (10 years or more) and for executives (high-level managers, GM, VP, CEOs etc). Since it is the platinum version, expect to pay platinum prices.

The first link from teh Google is for the NUS-UCLA EMBA, and basically:
1. The world literally is your classroom: you fly into your class when it's held in either SG, Shanghai, LA or Bangalore (you CEO mah, fly in small matter mah)
2. Fees: USD84,800 + tax
