No doubt UniSA doesn't require thesis but in terms of individual and group assignments; it is really time consuming. If you are able to balance between work and studies, you should be fine.

You are required to do two modules per semester (3 months). Each module has 24 hours of class over a weekend.
Thurs & Fri - 6.30-10.30pm
Sat & Sun - 9am - 6pm

In other words, you will only have to attend 8 days of classes in every 3 months.

The two weeks of study conducted in China is held in Shanghai (1 week) and Beijing (1 week). UniSA has very good contacts in China allowing students to visit various government agencies, attend talks given by senior government officers and owners/MDs of multi-nationals in China. You will have the chance to network with UniSA MBA students from Adelaide, Singapore and Hong Kong as well as China MBA Students. Everything will be conducted in English.

There is also another option to attend the study tour in Denmark. You will need to check with ITD for more information.

In terms of accreditation, the program director indicates that UniSA is in the midst of obtaining accreditation from AMBA and AACSB which will allow them to have the triple crown accreditation. However, I'm not sure when will they receive that.

Nevertheless, you should really take into consideration on the quality of lecturers if you wish to enroll in ITD. Considering that the partnership will be terminated, ITD might not hire good lecturers. Check the class size as well.

Hi guys...

I am deciding between UniSA MBA (@ITD) & Strathclyde MBA (@CDC Mgt Centre).

I did some research and generally I found out that :-

1) UniSA (RM34k) ; Strathclyde (RM51k)

2) UniSA is in mont kiara, Strathclyde is in phileo damansara. (I live in PJ)

3) UniSA does not requires theses, therefore its much easier to complete on time, which according to many is the main reason many people have to extend their duration of studies in Strathclyde.

4) UniSA has this 2-3 wks study trip in Shanghai which is much more affordable. Strathclyde's option is to take the entire semester (2-3 months) in Glasgow.... on our own expenses.

5) However UniSA program in ITD is going to be terminated from July 09 onwards. Therefore if I enroll for the Feb intake, I defer any subject I only have ONE chance to retake the particular subject.

6) Regconition & accrediation wise, of course Strathclyde stands out with triple accredition and top 30 rank in FT. UniSA only have EQUIS and 5 star ranked in Australia.
Can anyone give me some suggestion or their opinion ? Or are there any better schools out there I dunno about ?
p/s : MBS and Nottingham are beyond my budget.

UniSA will be terminating their entire offshore programme including Malaysia, Singapore and Hong Kong (excluding online MBA). They will have few more intakes till mid of next year. You still can enroll with ITD for the next few intakes but you need to follow the timetable strictly i.e. 2 modules per semester. Although the partnership is terminated, they will still carry on with all classes for the last intake. Therefore you must follow the suggested timetable strictly allowing you to complete it in 1.5 years (6 terms).

Hi markcyk,
Are you sure that they will terminate the partnership with UniSA in July 09? Is it confirmed? Please verify this as I am currently considering enrolling myself into this . Many thanks!
