Anyone doing an EMBA thats modular  - come in for a class say 6-8 x 2 weeks or so ? I prefer programs in Singapore. I know of those like Chicago Booth, Nanyang Tech APEX,NUS UCLA etc but these have a venue/country that keeps changing. I want a fixed location.
*
the class location kept changing?
All the long I still thought its held on their campus ground in the same country.
then again, if U can get into Chicago EMBA program shouldn't have problem meeting their crazy location.
IIRC many students are VP or Director level.

For the chicago program - classes in Chicago/Sg/london same as Insead Fountainbleu/SG. Liekwise for the UCLA/NUS - Bangalore/UCLA/NUS. The Nanyang/APEX is also south east asia based. Some of the other EMBA's (like SMU) have weekday/weekend classes which I cant make.

Many EMBA's go this path.  Due to work committments the most I can travel to is SG.

oic.. maybe IMD EMBA can be done mostly at home
too bad its EMBA else plenty of Distance learning MBA program out there. Don't have to leave the comfort of your home also do a degree at
- Warwick
- Thunderbird
- Duke
- manchester

120k for an online MBA...WoW ohmy.gif

i think even the Executive MBA from Manchester Business School at Sunway is just around the 80k mark.....do correct me if I'm wrong...
*
whats wrong? with RM$120K?
the warwick online MBA program pretty costly. the full time program already UK$21K.
http://www.wbs.ac.uk/students/mba/fees/index.cfm
thunderbird around US$63K
http://www.thunderbird.edu/graduate_degree...g_mba/index.htm
Carnegie Mellon - Tepper also avg around US$60K.
http://www.tepper.cmu.edu/mba/mba-programs...-mba/index.aspx
IE - EUR$50K
http://www.gmba-eng.ie.edu/

Does Sunway offer an EMBA from Manchester? isn't it a MBA?
2-3yrs of working experience can do EMBA? wow!

don't misunderstood the EMBA = executive MBA its MBA for Engineering Business Managers (EMBA)
http://www.sunway.edu.my/index.php?option=...lang=iso-8859-1

I got to agree with dreamer, 2-3yrs of working experience, only willing to pay 80K..
Not worth it. the value of a MBA program kinda increase with the amount of investment U put in.

I don't mind but its not beneficial to U. ppl going for MBA U should have the resourse to figure it out.

I know myself well enuf, i not good in reading however i enjoy case study, assignment .. therefore, I am worry that I can't pass the Exam Paper of those tie-1 course. my hardearn $$ will be wasted.

I am welcome all opinion and suggestions.

MBA do U have a good 4-5yrs of working experience?
Masters wanna do locally?
too bad your CGPA is too low, go overseas the chance of getting $$$ is silm.

Hi people, I would like to ask what's the criteria doing MBA? I'm an undergraduate right now & what should I be prepared for MBA? Is it possible that once I graduate & straight away pursue my MBA without needing the working experience? What are the skills that I need to equip with during my undergraduate life? Please advice.

P/s: I'm sorry if the same question have been posted up.
which school U gunning for?
Harvard/MIT/Oxford/Insead?
or others such as USQ, Nottingham Trent..

it is possible to start MBA as a fresh grad.
what skills? what skills do U have?
a few of the successful ppl, who made to renown Uni are involved in Uni Investment banking stuff, managed US$1-5M funds with good annual profits, or have started some Biz.
to other lesser reputable program, just $$ to pay fees and maybe grades.

pretty much depend on your target School.

if u are too lazy to click on those links and look for the fees. not too sure if U should go for a MBA program.

MBA is never research base.. want a research do Msc or Phd! usually projects/exam.

Warwick is a online program

I am just helping my colleague to ask, since she needs to take care of her baby and family and need to work during day time, so I am searching for "easy mode" MBA for her. So that, she doesn't need to carry so much burdens, be it stress or suffer financially.
U are seriously misled that research work is less work vs exams/projects.
the fact is research work at postgrad level is alot more work. else why would many opt for coursework programs than research programs.
some postgrad programs do give U take home exam, rest assured U cannot find the ans in the textbook or Online, and u would be burning more time to get the job time.
the easy way is just buy one! good/renown MBA == Expensive!

Besides that, not all people want to take MBA because want to get a better salary. I believe most of people who take MBA locally are just sake of knowledge to refine their career path. Most of them are into technical line and know nothing about business, finance and management.  So, what’s wrong to take cheap MBA? I believe some of them want to take MBA because want to change the career path.

And hey, not all the students are makan gaji like you. This group of people doesn’t care about the “salary” pun.
If you are lucky enough to enter one of the top business schools, then I would like to congrats to you.
*
not salary? refine career path with prospects of higher salary thats the ultimate goal.
for knowledge just go library and grab a book and read, why need a paper?

ther are also plenty of good online MBA programs. no discipline to study that way I guess.

u will pay alot of money and if lucky u get a piece of paper to hang at the wall, the failure rate is high, even u suceed to grad, u might still be taking telephone call. my experiance with my 20 plus classmate some 
still stuck with their old co no promotion no raise.

u paying on your own ? your blood and sweat money, then drag your feet to school, spending your resting time, fight the traffic and see some fella reading from text book.   

have u exhausted other option available, think hard, very hard

which Uni did they do their MBA?
Harvard?

every mth U find a new Uni offering MBA. not all MBA is made the same.

Wow! Nice to see INSEAD at No 1 beating even Harvard.

And the highest ranked MBA program in Malaysia is still Lancaster which has moved up 15 spots to No 35 in the global rankings. Strathclyde is the 2nd highest ranked in Malaysia at No 63 in the world.

Play with methodology and stats you can get any program u wish number 1.

Hello, I lost track of this thread 2 years ago after moving to SG from Australia. Planning to take on MBA in Malaysia due to cheaper cost and also I have accommodation and car in KL. Was thinking of doing full time in Nottingham initially but it seemed like Lancaster MBA and the Strathclyde MBA are the more recommended ones here.  Any advice regarding this ?

QUOTE(silverwave @ Feb 16 2016, 10:17 AM)
Are you going to be travelling back and forth from Australia to Malaysia during the course? Lancaster and Strathclyde MBA in Malaysia are both part time.

There are exams and workshops quite often with the Lancaster MBA, so you need to check if it suits you.

That's to Singapore from Australia, should be traveling from Singapore to Malaysia

I plan to do it in Malaysia. So traveling shouldnt be a problem. I'm actually a pharmacist in both Australia and Singapore and I can get a pharmacy license in Malaysia and work too if I want to.  Pretty much have accomodation and transport settled anyways, just looking for a school to study. Wonder how much would a MBA course in Lancaster cost me ?

You have plans to return to work and leave Singapore?
MBA is more about networking, otherwise you can do online MBA with Warwick don't have to travel.

U doing it for paper value? Most ppl try to network. U network in Malaysia and return to Sg. Such MBA not going to cause any impact to career to compensation.

What's your goal? For paper then work and study a better "brand" mba.

Cheap and great program don't exist for MBA

Its not easy but its doable.  As long as you get good scores for the entrance exams, then its possible.  I understand she took a few times before finally succeeding into entering Wharton MBA.  Good bonus is that she can stay on to work in USA and with her Wharton MBA, she has very good prospect.  I don't think she will every be returning to Singapore or Vietnam.
*
since U are in touch with this Viet lady perhaps you can share the stats here.

Top uni usually takes a holistic approach... at times family background plays a roles plus donations! Bush is one example.
http://m.mentalfloss.com/article.php?id=28826

its not doable if someone did poorly for their Bach degree, Taxi driver and score 790 on GMAT.
doable yes but really depends on the portfolio you bring to the table.
Being a Wharton Grad just means can work in USA, not automatically granted work status to stay in USA.

There are alot of MBA grades from Top Uni. There are many doing part time MBA looking for the next Golden Door too.
another note MBA holders are not in the bucket of needed professionals in USA, ppl with Masters degree can apply for H1B under Masters advanced degree exemption but their OPT is just limited to 1 yr, unlike those with a Masters of Sci can obtain OPT extension of 18mths.

To get h1B still subjected to lottery system if too many ppl apply, if you have an offer without securing a VISA you are still going home.
