Distance MBA through RDI
Hi,Thu Sep 06, 2007 08:57 PM I wish to go for a ‘distance’ MBA programme and ’ve been exploring on the Net for some time. I considered three aspects 1) Accredited Degree 2) Competitive Price and 3) 100% Distance learning (online/text-based) and have narrowed down my choice to following two – 1) University of Wales (rdi.co.uk) 2) University of Leicester My questions to this group (of connoisseur): 1) Wales is comparatively cheaper; however, it does not say much about the accreditation of the degree! 2) The Leicester degree is accredited by AMBA -- it is reasonably priced – and offers 100% distance learning. Is this my best choice? Appreciate some advice … Regards, Chinmay mukherjic@aol.com |

You get what you pay for. I would not waste time on unaccredited programmes. And single accredited...? Are you sure you want to do that?

I understand that the tuition of the Leicester MBA of £6,470 is an argument, but I think that it is definitely worth investing more for a distance learning MBA which has more of a name and reputation internationally. Check these out:Thu Nov 08, 2007 12:57 PM Strathclyde distance learning MBA: tuition £10,528 Warwick distance learning MBA: tuition £13,650 Tanaka distance learning MBA: tuition £19,950. Bradford might be another option for an online MBA, but I don´t know the fees. [Edited by javeed_L on 08 Nov 2007] |

Hi there,Thu Mar 20, 2008 01:05 PM what speaks against the University of Leicester just because their tuition fee is cheaper than others? I have researched on different DL MBA programs and talked to many advisers of these schools. Leicester is quite known for their distance learning programs in general. When you look on the web site of the AMBA, Leicester is one of the few universities that has been accredited for the MBA Distance Learning program. The tuition fee might not always be a good indication of the quality of a program. It should also depend on your own work experience. For example if someone has long years of management experience and just wants to get the theoretic fundamentals of management, certain programs might be a good choice. If someone has for example none or only two years of work experience in management, he/she might feel more comfortable going with a more extensive, longer thus more expensive (due to longer tuition) program. I talked to the adviser of the Open University (Milton keynes) and heard that the OU was accredited in Europe and in the U.S.A. Has anyone had experience with job search AFTER graduating from the OU? I heard many companies still prefer a 'traditional' university name on the diploma? Any thoughts? |

HiTue Jul 21, 2009 08:16 PM Now, University of Leicester is around 8000 GBP for DL and around 16000 GBP for FT which means it is not too cheap and not too expensive, but thinking about the crisis Other think is about the domain you are working on and what you can do with an MBA in the real world I think a good balance between experience and education is a good asset p.s. many "strong" educated guys didn't foresee anything about this crisis; no comment |
