I note your intention to become a lecturer in Marketing when you're older. For your info, academia nowadays requires staffers at least a PhD - and you cannot get a PhD with a 'mini MBA'.

Not sure the depth of the mini MBA, but a full-fledged, research based MBAs are more rigourous. And if you're looking into contributing to the body of knowledge, full MBA with Marketing focus is advised.

Thanks for the heads up!

Noted minimum PhD for academia. The sales dude at one of the MBA courses i was enquiring from a private uni told me "MBA is sufficient to become a lecturer" - i guess for the Degree courses at their uni.

Yes aware cannot get PhD with the "mini MBA". The "mini MBA" it's more like a professional course they decided to brand it that way i guess.

Thanks again smile.gif

I assumed you're gonna pursue PhD overseas. not all PhD programmes accept all MBA graduates. Perhaps for starters you can take a look at what PhD are you going to take, if they take/consider MBA graduates - this is very important because not all MBA programmes out there have research component i.e. thesis.

PhD is a very rigourous research program, you need to at least experience writing full-bodied thesis.

Good luck!
