In terms of accredited MBAs, I think the EuroMBA comes closest: http://www.euromba.org/

The Warwick and Hult executive MBAs might also work.

Warwick's EMBA program in London is a great suggestion. TOR-LON is around seven hours, not terrible. On that note the Imperial EMBA program is also a bit longer but also something maybe to consider.

I found 2 private colleges so far in London, UK that deliver MBA, and after completion of the credits required, transfer into public schools to write thesis, and the final degree is from a public university.
London School of Commerce - Cardiff Metropolitan University.
Greenwich Schoolof Management - Plymouth University.
They are very affordable.
What do you think?

I don't really see the point of taking these freshers MBAs at franchise locations of former polytechnics. Both academically and in terms of employment, schools with meaningful international accreditation are much better.

The main point is the fee of 7-10K GBP per year with the same university degree at the end.
Most empoyers have never heard of these accreditations.
EuroMBA sounds a very cool program, but what university grants a degree?

I don't think you are quite right there. There are big differences in the outcomes. If you think the university does not matter, why are you considering flying to the UK every month when you could study at a local school?

I don't think that the university doesn't matter, and as said I need a public university degree because my career is in the academic administration, government accreditation matters, not others. I am trying to find a program that has a good balance of price, quality and flexibility for me. Flying to Europe 5-10 times is cheaper than taking most MBA programs in Canada because they are more expensive, full time or fully online, no blended format, require GMAT and they last longer.

But, honestly those programmes are a really bad investment because they are the lowest possible quality. For a similar price you could take an AACSB-accredited MBA online with somewhere like South Dakota. Look at the options discussed at http://find-mba.com/schools/usa/south-dakota/south-dakota-beacom

Hi INTAR I would have to agree. Government accreditation is what matters. I would suggest having a look at Oxademy's blended learning MBA, unlike other learning providers the MBA is actually awarded by a UK university and is the same qualification they award their full time MBA students. This programme duration is 12 - 14 months. If you are interested check it out - http://goo.gl/vXVz5w

Hilarious website. Filled with errors in spelling, capitalisation and punctuation. Does not even state which university the MBA degree comes from. And I love the photo on this page: http://www.oxademy.ac.uk/university-partnerships needless to say none of their partners are in buildings like that.

Any other private schools that are reliable and deliever blended format MBA of public universities? Also, for EuroMBA, I still could not find an answer a degree of what university they grant. The program looks very nice.
