Hi all,
Can somebody tel me about James cook university,Singapore?....accord to their website,they take people with no work experience also....is JCU mba worth?....will i be able to get a job in singapore or places like UK,USA?

Hi..Even I have the same doubt
Did u get any information about that University.

It's a proper university, and it looks like they take the MBA seriously. However, I wasn't able to find any evidence of accreditation by any of the relevant boards. Accreditation is perhaps the single most important thing an MBA needs to be taken seriously, and the first thing to look for when trying to work out whether an individual programme is any good. Without it, the degree probably won't be recognised in the UK and Europe, where there are a huge number of graduates from well recognised and respected MBA programmes. There will always be jobs for MBA graduates in the UK, but with an MBA from JCU most likely not the kind you are thinking of.

Thanks for ur reply..But I heard that it's the only Australian University recognised by the Singapore Govt..

yes its affiliated by an ausie uni.. having campus in singapore..recognised all over world.. n u will b happy to know that it has nw the 2nd largest campus in singapore after NUS.. the new campus of jcu is the former nanyang campus.. and i hav heard that it is also recognised in india.. nd if u com with mba degree and an experience of 1 yr or so than its a very good option.. if u cant do job there then in india u can hav some good jobs..

and i have also applied for mba course in jcu singapore.. i m joining frm the batch starting frm oct 27, 2008..

HI NITIN JUST ONE QUESTION ABOUT MBA IN IT IN JCU AND DO PEOPLE FIND JOBS IN SINGAPORE AFTER HIS MBA OR NOT , JUST JOB IS THE MOST IMPORTANT, FOR HOW LONG A STUDENT CAN STAY IN SINGAPORE AFTER HIS DEGREE TO SEARCH JOB

I'm told due to recession its hard to get a job in JC,Singapore.there are no proper placement systems as such for international students n more preference is given to PR n citizens? is this true?

I know one of my acquaint,who have returned to India.
He clearly said employer don't provide visa to Indians,until your from top b-schools like NUS,NTU etc.
only few of his batch mates ,who were having experience got job.
Ya if you are capable enough then you can get job in any corner of the world.

This is a case in point of "you pay for what you get." With a few exceptions, doing an MBA from a business that's not internationally accredited will not be a good investment, and you won't get the same kind of career and visa support as you would from a well-known, accredited school.

And with all the great accredited MBA programs in Singapore - Nanyang, SMU, NUS, and even INSEAD - there's no reason to do an unaccredited program.
