Hey guys, I am looking to start full time MBA. I'm an international student so considering the exchange rate, I would be able to enroll at a programme under 16,000 GBP.
Please advice which university to apply to, considering factors like reputation, faculty and overall quality of MBA.
Many thanks.
Ali

The pound is pretty low, so that rules out CEU. Lubijana, perhaps?
Posted Jan 29, 2018 22:22
CEU does not offer MBA program currently (at least it says so on their web-page).
You can consider FELU (Ljubljana - 17k EUR early bird), HWR Berlin (18k EUR), Koc Istanbul (~14 k EUR last year, still waiting for fees for this year), UC3M Madrid is i believe <20k EUR.
There are, of course, additional schools, but these ones are accredited and thus probably reasonable.
As Duncan always like to point put, these are not "top notch" schools regarding prestige/ employabity.

Sad news about CEU. Koc is pretty prestigious in its own region.

I think Cardiff is around £14k and is accredited AACSB
(is also Russel Group member)

I think the academic experience will be so much better at Koç. Cardiff is great for the PhD, but it has a massive Freshers MBA with little diversity.

probably yes. but seeing this is the UK/Ireland board, I thought the person was looking for UK/Ireland schools, (not many things at <16k)
Perhaps he can give us more insight which countries/areas he considers

Under 16k, perhaps they should look for a specialist MSc rather than an MBA.

No, there aren't many UK MBAs under 16k GBP. If you could get your budget up to 20-25k, there are some options:

That's something I hadn't heard, but it's clear from their website that they are not offering this program now. Anybody know what happened? Is it because the government may or may not shut down the school at some point?

My guess: they want to focus on the EMBA and MSc, the same as many US schools who also serve a local market.

"CEU Department of Economics and Business will not offer the Katalyst Executive MBA programs in 2018/19."
So no EMBA as well..

So, they are basically closing the business school.

Too bad. I always thought they had really reasonably priced offerings.

Very generous scholarships but I think the CEU was set up to help central and Eastern Europe primarily (http://archivebusiness.ceu.hu/perspectives1 for example) while most MBA students came from outside.

If that was the case they should have offered generous discounts for Hungarians and other students from CEE or raising the prices for non-CEE students.

Very hard for a school inside the EU to charge different fees for people from CEE than to other Europeans.

This might be interesting. Bournemouth University just received AACSB accreditation:
https://find-mba.com/news/2018/05/aacsb-accreditation-awarded-to-bournemouth-university-western-connecticut-state-university-and-others
... their MBA is less than 16k GBP. There's not much in that price range for an accredited MBA in the UK.

Not the top university in the UK (it's currently 61st in the Guardian's league tables), but it's always good to have budget schools with accreditation. I'd imagine these tuitions rates will be going up in the next few years.

Now that ESB Reutlingen has AACSB accreditation, I think it's unbeatable value at that price. Of course, if you can invest in a better program that will have a much higher value.
