Ladies & Gents

Does anyone have any suitable suggestions as to MBA courses I should be looking at?

I am serving police officer in a managerial role and looking at further promotion in the future. I have a 2:2 in politics and would like to complete a general management MBA via distance learning / part time.

I have looked at some of the "MPA" courses, but would prefer to do a general MBA instead. I am somewhat struggling at the moment as most require a 2:1.

Any thoughts / suggestions gratefull received.

Hi Ollie,
You find the list of Online MBAs in UK here:

For instance the eMBA of Aberdeen Business School sounds good, costs are only slightly above your limit £11,098:

I can't really relate to your grades because I don't know your system, but probably you can leave Tanaka or Strahclyde aside, but there many more.
Some also offer flexible payment schemes, have a look at the websites.

Besides, you should have a look at the Part time options, in your region you can find quite a few.

But go for an MBA, I hope you find a program where you fulfill the admission requirements, it is a good decision for your career!

Thank you

I agree. Unfortunately, most of the big London one's will want a 2:1 and will be pretty expensive. However, with your work experience you might be able to make a good case as to why they should overlook the fact you've got a 2:2. Have you any particular schools in mind? The other thing is that as well as doing a part time MBA you could consider distance learning. A lot of very reputable schools now offer online MBAs, which are just as valid as their non-online counterparts. Just be careful to avoid degree mills - Rayat London College springs to mind - which charge significantly less and don't have the same entrance requirements, but are really just a means to scam gullible students.

Thanks for the reply.

I think I would prefer to do a course at a uni near me so that I was able to pop in (if doing the distance learning) and use the library etc. Obviously if doing it part time then again I would want somewhere nearby.
