Why isn't there any comments on Sunway's Manchester MBA Program?

Is it true that you need to be at least 27 of age and above? No exceptions?

I checked few places. Most the classes held on weekends even the full-time. Haiihh. I prefer on weekdays because weekends is for real life social activities.

erm...i just finish my degree programme....thinking to take some MBA...
but most of MBA require ages....my age has below the requirement...any suggestion sch. ...??

I need 1 more year of working experience to meet the requirement for Nottingham.

How’s the quality for UTAR?

Btw, I just registered for MBA Banking & Finance at Lim Kok Wing. I’m not really sure about the quality over there. Anyone study in LKW for MBA?

Anybody knows when is the upcoming post graduate fair for this year? Meanwhile, what do you guys think about MBA offered Helps institute??

A ha. Mind to share what are the common problems they have?

Why you never heard about this course in LKW? Most probably it is because LKW is not a well-known for business courses. My house is in between Sunway College and LKW. That's why I choose either one. I don’t like MBA in Sunway because most of the classes held on weekends. I don’t think I can make it.

Actually I believe in myself than the university. From my previous university (the best IPTS during my time) experience, 95% of the knowledge I found it by my own. I only go there just to get the ‘certificate’.

Debbie,

You seem very interested wrt CFA as well. Which industry/work are you doing at the moment? Bank? Other Financial Institution?

Xuzen

Ha! Debbie study MBA (Finance), Mayomythical is doing CFA (I assume) and I do CFP, maybe we can start a little club here and check our progress 6 months later. Some sort of knowledge sharing.

Currently I run my family Kedai Runcit business but I am interested to move into the Financial Advisory Business. Taking CFP is my first step. I hope to see myself as an established Licensed Investment Advisor/Specialist in my community in 5 -10 years time.

Xuzen

Good luck to both Debby and Xuzen in your respective fields. I always think that we should always look to learn new things, 'coz otherwise we're just going to stagnate and go bad.

Yeah, in slightly more than four months I'll be taking the Level III exams, and hopefully pass and become a CFA charterholder.

It's been a long and tiring journey, with two fails along the way..

Sorry Debbie. My bad.

Anyway, for the CFA, it's not merely for people in the advisory field. Yes, I myself work in investment advisory, but it is equally applicable for investment banking, fund management etc.

These are the main topics that are tested in CFA exams:

Ethics
Quantitative Methods
Economics
Financial Statement Analysis
Corporate Finance
Equity Investments
Fixed Income
Derivative Investments
Portfolio Management

If you want, I could lend you a couple of my CFA books for you to have a taster of what the course is all about.

With MBA, you can straight away jump to module 6 for CFP course.

YES. To me, MBA course is easy to pass (50 marks) compare to proffesional course is much more difificult. MBA course is not merely about academic, it is where the academic integrate with the practical world to contribute to the real working corporate application. MBA instil you with critical thinking and decision making capabilities with the interaction and know-how with the lecturer and your peers. Thats the different a undergraduates & post graduates.

Initially Segi USQ MBA offered is internal, as my batch is the last for internal which all 12 module is by external (USQ). This is where the fees has increase yearly. Initially, 6 modules are under SEGI. The external means the module course is fully moderate by the USQ rather than SEGI (internal).

I did mostly my research books and journals in Sunway library, because Segi library is USELESS (but the KD branch is too far for me). Besides, SEGI has subscribe to Emerald Journals (recognize by Havard Business Review) which is free for MBA student to access for research.

are we able to actually access the library in Sunway College meanwhile we're MBA student from SEGI??

ibbm and inti offers tuition too if i remember correctly.........

think it depends a lot on the way you study - whether u r a consistent worker or crammer and whether u r taking tuition or not. i self-studied, took time off from work (about 2/3 weeks) and slammed it all in in one go...... worked for me
