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.

Yes indeed. Many people told me that the thesis is usually the main reason why many of them extended their MBA studies again and again, or even give up half way.

Does that means an Australian MBA program without requiring a thesis is a less risky option ?
