Hello,
I was hoping someone on this board could advise me as to the following.
I am interested in doing an MBA in Accounting and Finance, however think it is more beneficial to do a course beforehand. I am a graduate but my degree is of biology and not of a business nature, as most of my experiance in business stems from my work.
I have seen two different options available to me, and am confused as to which one is most appropriate.
The first is a foundation year (2 yrs as part time?? i think) and the second is a workshop based course known as the Mini MBA, details of which can be found here: http://www.bbk.ac.uk/study/ce/modules/FFMN001U.html
I would appreciate any advise from anyone who has done this previously, or who has any experiance in either of the two options.
Many thanks,
Ashraf

Hi,
I checked the link you give, to me it looks like a regular course in business and finance for beginners. Since you have never studied business and are maybe not sure if you should or not do an MBA, this is a good approach I think. But you should do a research what kind of courses are offered on the market, because there are loads.
BTW I must say I find it a bit show off to have the name "MBA" in the title of the course... or from a different perspective: To call a business course Mini MBA proves strong marketing skills...
The other course you mention I don't know, where did you find that, this foundation year?
