Nottingham's MBA is the best in Malaysia if you plan to study in Malaysia, because it's the only University in all of Malaysia to be in the list of the Top 100 universities worldwide. It's also the most recent University of the Year in UK.

seantang, you are right. but if you had checked, you might have realized that the Nottingham University Business School also ranks in the Top 100 MBAs worldwide, by Financial Times.

Guys, as for the Manchester MBA, may I know if it bears the Sunway name or if it is identical to the MBA awarded by Manchester BS?

Nottingham is not an overseas twinning program. They have 4 campuses and two of these campuses are overseas. It's taught and managed by Nottingham, not any local institute. The degree awarded is also identical to the degree awarded in UK.

By the way, The Star newspaper reported that an MBA from UK recognized universities automatically gain entry requirement to work in UK under their highly skilled workforce program.

arsenal, you are right. other than INSEAD joint program, which is about Harvard-level quality, the only other uni in Singapore is NUS, which rank 92 of 100...

but then i am talking about Malaysia lor...

u shud consider those 9999 unis which are not even in the list...

seantang, this is the 2nd time u spoke in this thread without bothering to check ur details. actually, only 10 of the 50 MBAs listed are from UK.

i think u missed the fact that in my very first post, all I said was that nottingham was in the top 100 university list for mba worldwide.

seantang then said i should check mba rankings rather than extrapolate from university listings (which in fact I did not), so I had to correct him by pointing out that nottingham was in both the top 100 universities AND the top 100 universities list FOR MBA, i.e. top 100 MBAs list worldwide.

when i did that, he said i should have been more clear, but i wasn't the one who was making assumptions, eh?

so i forgot to add 2 words - top 100 unis worldwide (FOR MBAs) but i thot it was a given since this thread was already titled MBA. nobody asked u to understand, but when u din get my point, u r supposed to ask for clarification instead of going on and on about how it's not the same and how i shouldn't extrapolate blah blah... and then say u r not psychic n cannot read my mind... ya la u r very clever la.

anyway, give it a rest la. what's the big deal la fren... not like the world is going to end...

Does the Manchester MBA offered by Sunway award an identical Manchester MBA degree cert as the original (no 'foreign partnership', no Sunway logo?) ? and taught by the original Manchester MBA staff?

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?

tinkerbel just said IF la... but IF they reply that way, it may be because they know from experience most ppl will be put off by the cost and won't pursue any further. no point talking for hours then only say the cost and immediately lose the prospect after that.

Teong answered for you liao.

FYI, some MBA programs require you to take the GMAT too.

"today they are held at Manchester or at MBS Worldwide's other permanently staffed overseas centres in Dubai, Hong Kong, Singapore, Jamaica and Dublin."

I don't see Malaysia?
