Well it's the last day before the discount runs out on my Manchester Global MBA application.

Do I sign up to its very good programme...or do I save myself £21k and put it into my pension??

I think you should do it. A top-tier MBA will be a life-changing decision, and will improve your decision-making and the pace at which you can work. Spend as much time as you can on campus and networking with the alumni.

but.. did you consider part-time/executive formats?

Hi Steve. Well, I'm 43 and I would do my MBA again at the drop of a hat. It dramatically transformed by abilities as a business person and paid for itself very quickly.

I think Mauro's missed out on the fact that the Global MBA is the part-time MBA at MBS. The three year pace is easy enough (I see there's not a two year track, which will probably have better students and better networking for you).

You should always be open to changing job, but that's a separate choice from whether or not to do an MBA since you can change jobs whether or not you are taking a MBA. Any smart future employer will welcome an MBA.

Why not change onto the accelerated path? They will be closer to your age, and the courses will be more engaging with better students. Of course the 3-year programme has a better range of electives, which might also help you stay on track. But I think you can also expect that even if you know some of the subjects, that the case approach will introduce you to new companies and industries.

Anyway I signed up with an hour to go.

Thanks for the encouragement, Duncan!

Well done. At times like these, the reality is that the decision is already made: we just need to find the place where we've ferreted away the answer.

By the way, there might be more flexibility than you expect. Since the accelerated students have five years with a target of two years, there might be some swapping around.

I wish you all the best! This mba was usefull to both the past italian students that I contacted so no doubts that it'll be good for you as well!
