Regrettably yes, I am above the mean class age, which is rather depressing. For me the class discussions have by and large been brilliant, as people from different sectors / countries / experiences can share practical examples that are relevant to the point being discussed at the time. Occasionally the discussion can be dominated by one or two more vocal people, but it is then largely due to the skill and experience of the lecturer to manage this appropriately.
For me this has been the best bit of the course. All my core modules were with the same cohort, sometimes with a couple of people from other cohorts or DL/fulltime for whatever reason. I did my 1st elective a couple of weeks ago which was with a very mixed group as jpbrooksuk has alluded to in the previous post. This brought a greater richness to class discussions as it meant getting to know a whole new bunch of people, making the experience generally much richer.
If you access the Warwick Business School website I think it gives info about which modules are available in which format - might help.
Hope this helps! :)
MBS or Warwick DL

Me too...although I have just finished and awaiting graduation in July so the depression is somewhat lifted :)

I hope that rainfall isn't a criterion for candidates choosing a distance learning programme ;-)

Im in the middle of MBS Global MBA (finance accelerated)...in my second semester and having my exams real soon..
managerial econs is great as it has two great tutors, Xavier and McNutt...
I can say this program is tough, because weigh assignments and plus expected to do alot of readings, especially the articles...there will also be a subject called Business Simulation where u need to make decision on a company and calculate the EPS after that decisions etc...
In the nutshell, however depends on your background..if u can cope and read alot, this program is excellent....

Does anybody know the age range doing Warwick DL MBA?

Any DL MBA will have a huge age range. Most in their 30s but many from 25 to 55 and some outside that.
