I'm an ex-UTM Aeronautical Engineering Undergraduate and I've completed my MBA in UUM Kuala Lumpur Campus recently. With my results and qualification, I could easily attend to any local Uni to purse my MBA. For me why I've choosen UUM for my MBA for a very simple reason. It is of course the branding.

UTM was developed as a Technical Institution and UUM is solely a Business & Management higher learning. Does this speak for themselves? Should you purse for MBA in a business college or a technical college?

The syllabus UUM had made Decision Analysis a mandatory (core) subject for the future CEO/ COO in the making. Most MBA programmes does not make Decision Analysis/ Science as compulsory and what type of manager would they become if you were formally not taught in decision making? A good MBA should emphasis on decision making and what good a CEO or COO if they could not decide?

MBA is not only limited for Management purposes but also includes Finance, Accounting, Tourism, Logistics Management, etc etc. So be wise of what you should have considered! Thanks.

here's the UUM website on MBA

There're many names for Decision Analysis, Decision science.... operational research.... etc Quantitative Methods is just a fraction of Decision Analysis. What I'm pointing out here is that you should consider taking this subject even it is not offered as a compulsory module from other unis. MBA in general is a field Management degree and it differs from Masters in Management due to the 'extra' Finance, Accounting, Economics modules introduced within. (Ethics, win-win, profit & shareholders wealth orientated!)
