I am a mechanical engineer however I work as project manager for a high standard hotels company and responsible for both civil & MEP works. I just got my PMP and want to take the next step by taking MBA. I searched for the best accredited mba and found that AUC is the only 3 crowned university. Unfortunately it is very expensive. Now i am thinking about my choices which came to eslsca and arab academy. Arab academy is cheaper as I have discount there but ESLSCA is more recognized internationally ,I think. Could someone help me because I am really confused

I suggest you search this board for Egypt and then read https://find-mba.com/board/distance-learning/value-alternatives-to-unaccredited-mbas-58288 

Thanks Duncan. But is online Mba degree is same as the full time. And does it concern the international companies to have it online or full time. I am also planning to work in Canada, so is there is any recommendation for a well recognized business school. As for tribble crowned on line mba is there’s another recommendation with less cost than Manchester. Thanks again for your effort and sup  

The degree certificate is the same. They just say MBA not 'full time MBA', 'executive MBA' or 'online MBA'. 

Employers care more about the school than the format. 

If you want to work in Canada, study in Canada. 

I decided to go with MMU which you mentioned in the previous link. The university offers tripled crowned MBa with affordable price. My plans for CANADA is not clear yet specially that the education there is quite expensive and I want to get my MBA in order to increase my  opportunity of finding a job there. So is MMU a perfect choice for me or there are any other recommendations?

An MBA from this school would not add much value for you if you decide to go to Canada. 

If you want to work in Canada, you should consider studying there. Or simply see if you are eligible to apply for residency in the country, through either a skilled worker program or as a self-employed person. I don't think a degree from MMU will be beneficial for you in terms of landing a job in the country. 

My plans to move to Canada is long term future plan In the upcoming 5 years. And I am staying in Egypt now for at least another 2 years. I am now cant choose between OU in uk and MMU. But OU costs around 20k while MMU is 10 UK which matches my budget. What do you think

If you had read the link Duncan gave you in the first reply, you would know the OU MBA is $9000 for people in the developing world, registering through Amity.

I also wonder if Missouri State, whose name literally sounds to me like it would be a better name in the Canadian market, is an option at $11,220 

PS Both are cheaper than MMU, and have a bigger percentage of their alumni in Canada.

Thanks a lot. Could you please share the link for OU ????????

Click on the link in the first reply. Look for the word 'Amity'. There's a link there.

I am applying to the link but it requires to pay even before submitting the documents which is very strange because the payment according to their policy is not refundable.

 What's strange? Application fees are not unusual. I never heard of refundable application fees.

Maybe call them or email them if you have any questions but, since the criteria are minimal, I assume all applicants who meet the criteria are admitted. 

How much is the fee?

Total 9000usd . But i am applying on Amity website and design the site is very confusing and I don’t get clear information regarding the program or that it is even linked to the OU program in developing coun

MMU is really organized and easy to access.

I mean, how much is the application fee? 

I think it's pretty clear that you get the OU MBA, and the structure is the same as the OU MBA

The minimum amo to pay is 1000 $ as for the application process, it has only 4 questions: do you have 12 marksheet certificate (which I don’t know) 
- what is my graduation degree - do I have post graduation degree or any other degree . After this It only wants the payment method with fee details of total 9000 $ and partial payment 1000 $ which is the minimum. Then I directs me to the payment page to enter visa details. It doesn’t seem safe or even professional. With MMU I had several discussions with their representative and also I submitted all the required documents and I am waiting for their approval in order to pay. But according to your recommendation i am working on both ways as OU is a better business sch

I can understand why you are cautious. You have a difficult choice. With MMU, the educational experience and administration will be better than with Amity. At Amity, the cost is lower. Both give you a triple-crown UK MBA. 

I am waiting for MMU reply and I think I will just go with it specially that they will increase the fees by 1K next September. As for my immigration plans, it is still not clear for me what I am going to do and I am not depending on the MBA to facilitate the process. But I think if I immigrated in the future when I am the an accredited MBA will be a plus

Hi Duncan, what would you advise between studying online MBA either now at MMU or next year at Illinois or Durham? 
knowing that, you can afford MMU’s fees  which suits you the current year to start immediately
