I don't think Durham is making a big profit on its MBA!

Yes, you stand a good chance of direct admission. If not, use one of the open access routes:

Frank,

I was accepted by Durham MBA(DL) based on the following:

1. 15 years work experience
2. FCMA (UK) and CMA (Canada)
3. did not complete undergraduate degree
4. No GMAT

My application was accepted before sending in any academic transcript. I only sent in my CV and letter of good standing from CIMA and CMA Canada

1. 15 years work experience

I have only applied for Durham's program, have not decided whether to attend.

I am at a stage where an MBA/EMBA probably will not increase my salary or advance my career.

Main reasons I am doing an MBA program are:

1. I regret not being able to finish my bachelor degree when I was younger,
2. A DL MBA program will satisfy CIMA's CPD hours requirement.

I am considering Durham as it's DL MBA is relative cheap compare to other programs and the school is somewhat reputable.

The point is: Frank should stand a good chance in gaining admission to Durham's DL MBA

Thanks for your replies.

Will submit my application to Durham soon.

I am looking at Durham due to the following reasons:

1) Durham has a global residence programme in Frankfurt and I am based in Frankfurt now.
2) Triple Accredidation
3) No distinction between DL,FT and PT.They all follow the same course curriculum.
4) As mentioned by cdrsteve, the cost is comparably reasonable for such reputable school.

cdrsteve, if you decide to go for it and if I am also accepted..maybe we can keep in touch as future classmate.

I don't think any non-profit business schools make big profits. Their costs simply expand, because any surplus is ploughed back into scholarships, salaries and facilities. Most full-time MBA programmes make a loss.
