Most of these are very expensive. Is there an affordable one?

What is your budget?
Posted Jun 10, 2020 17:34
I would estimate about 100,000 AED to be my budget for program tuition.

I think Bradford and Strathclyde are the only UAE options at that price-point with meaningful international accreditation.

Apology for interrupting the discussion , but If I have 2 offers one from Manchester alliance in Uk and one from AUC in Egypt .
I a egyptian who works in the automotive industry and looking to move to big techs or consultancy.
what would be better for someone who would like to work in middle east?
Posted Jul 08, 2020 20:14
Both are great programs.
Have you checked LinkedIn? Which degree has more leverage among employers in big techs or consultancies in the region? Should be pretty starightforwrad to figure that out.

Thanks alot Duncan and Mba hipster for you support.
After checking linkedin , I feel Manchester would be the best option because of the network and reputation across Europe and Gulf.
while I was doing my last search , I found that it provides also global MBA and I read in your comments that it is so close to the full time MBA and also it was the same comment from Alumni.
I am currently considering changing the program to the global MBA instead of full time MBA at Manchester to decrease the risk . (for full time program this year I expect that there is a high probability that many things will be online because of corona)
what do you think about that , will this be a considered a smart move?
or this would affect the my outcome?
Also is there major differences between the 2 programs?
Thanks alot for your help and appreciate your support

Hi Joe. I think this comes back to the discussion we had in April: If your focus is on Europe, then the fulltime programme is better. If you are focussed on the Gulf, then part-time programmes give you the advantage of staying there: https://find-mba.com/board/europe/program-advice-imd-vs-iese-vs-rsm-vs-manchster-60501

Hi Duncan,
I cannot thank you enough for all this support and help.
Just to clear one point ,I am currently working in Germany not in gulf and I am looking to move to gulf during the MBA or after the MBA so in this case is it fine to proceed with part time program ?
my profile:
I am egyptian who works in the automotive industry and looking to move to big techs or consultancy.
Thanks alot again ,i can't express my appreciation enough

Also another point,despite I am now considering the global part time program from Manchester to decrease risk as I will continue working. I would like to mention that I got acceptance from full time program with 40% scholarship.
would you help me with your opinion about which program shall I proceed with ?

So you are trying to make quite a big move, both physically and industry... perhaps also in role too. In that case, the full-time programme is a better option. You could take the Dubai study trip, electives in Dubai and projects and an internship in tech/consulting.
Posted Jul 16, 2020 17:13
Yes, agreed. With the full-time program you'd have better access to career services and would be able to build up your network in the region much more effectively.
Typically part-time and Executive programs are aimed that people who are looking to do more narrow career moves than you are expecting to do.
