I do get promoted shortly after graduation, but mostly due to seniority and performance than qualification.

Work wise you can appreciate better the workings of corporate world, esp in particular my electives is in corporate governance. I guess you can gain more confidence and speak the business lingo better.

In short, you can BS, but professionally.

Can try peninsula college

If you are interested in an Executive MBA...PM me..i give u the contact person...
Weekend classes... assignment based...
18 months...

Just get an affordable MBA, preferably online. Look up Inti Online MBA.

I just completed my part time MBA at Inti for 24k for around 1 year and 9 month. Average i took two subject per semester, there are two semester i took 1 subject ( project thesis, kinda heavy)

Thanks for the suggestion,will do

Congrats! How do you manage your time juggling between study and work?

In my opinion, Most of the MBA subjects are not tough, but still you have to put in effort to get CGPA >= 3.0 or else you have to retake the whole MBA again. You have to free up some time for the studies if you have made up your mind to enroll else you won't graduate. Initially i can manage everything(tight schedule), but till the last two semester, i am burnt out(workload kinda heavy + studying + assignment), i guess it's part of the process. XD

I'm doing one now. Everyday I'm questioning myself if this is a right decision. I took too many subjects (4 subjects) in my current semester. 4 night classes a week (3 hours each). plenty of assignments and mid sem exams. plenty of group discussions. basically losing my own personal time including weekends.

so my advice would be that find an mba which suits your workload and lifestyle. if you're working and work ends at 6pm normally, then it's okay to take more subjects, else do slowly, 2 subjects at a time. can also find mba which emphasized on more assignments or exams, depending on your preference. of course besides that price of mba, recognition etc will make a difference too.

just my 2 cents.

Hi, are you on MBA now?

OUM and WOU reputation for MBA not so good

UM MBA is quite tough because all subjects are exam based.

There r good ones like Strathclyde, Nottingham and Manchester MBA. Heard about Monash one, but I am not sure how good it is.

not sure if 50k budget can cover or not.

More better ones are in Singapore, world class like INSEAD.

at end of day ask yourself, what is MBA for ? I don't really think it would help u get a promotion unless u r working for those consulting firms like Mckinsey.

I notice most students in MBA, are already high level executives GM and up. Some of them are even business owners.
They are objective is to gain knowledge, new skills sets to handle in their role, understand other functions in an organization and enhance their networking with other MBA classmates.

Nowadays have ODL MBA course: Open and Distance Learning.

For some ppl, any MBA is good enough. U have told ur employers that u have gone thru the time to ‘learn’ abt business, finance n more. It is for employers to gauge during the interview, or if u’re an existing employee, they judge based on ur performance n their impression of u if ur in higher position

That is the reason ppl go for oum, wou or any inline mba courses. No time!

At the end of the day, most ppl dont use all the knowedge in their mba. They just need to PROVE to employers n colleagues that they know business, finance n more. If no certification needed, anyone can claim they know n learn from wikipedia

You can try peninsula college. I also did mine in peninsula college. Its a part time course

You may go through APEL T-7 for master’s level test to convert working experience to credit hour before enroll to Master Program.
As yes, you allow to do this via thisway. There is a lot of university to choose, however not much university provide fully online or distant learning since it require to back to campus/university as advocate back f2f teaching method.
Try your luck on Wawasan University and Sunway University as they accept APEL program.

Manchester (offered by Sunway) used to be the highest ranked in MY but they left and was replaced by Lancaster iinm. However I heard Lancaster has also left. Although no Insead levels, both were top 50 programs at one point and expensive. Uptake I think couldn't justified continuing the program I guess

is strathclyde still around ?

Msia must be really brain drain, can't even attract lancaster and manchester.

I knew a few business owners that signed up and graduated for the manchester one.

90k ? can't recall was years ago. Lecturers only came twice a year, intensive 2 or 3 weeks, then rest you are on ur own.

Strachlydes stil around, but it's taught out of a management institute from a commercial centre. So maybe a turn off for some. Nottingham is still there but it's more of a mass production line which doesn't really screen their applicants last I checked. So might be a turn off for some looking for networking

90k, yeah I think so. But sunway offers a bursary to offset the costs and withdrawal from EPF account 2 is also allowed so for executives still a viable option

strathclyde is ok lah.

they have above average trainers. every 1/2 year lecturers from scotland come down to teach intensive for 2-3 weeks.

when it started was cheap...around 20k something. Books provided are really good. They have in house text books.

nowadays, how much ?

i think can buy a persona already with the cost ?

I think 60+ but less your EPF will be less.
