Hi,
Helpful advice needed.
My profile: MSc Petroleum Engineering with 7yrs work experience, current location Norway. Seeking an affordable DL MBA program within UK/Europe (with not a lot of travelling required) and has a good Finance content in its curriculum. I have strong interest in Finance but i am still open to a general MBA.
I am looking at career progression within the Oil & Gas or a transition to the financial industry. So generally looking for a good MBA.
Cost is also important as I have pegged my budget at around £20k, so I am looking for an inexpensive program.
I had been considering the DL EBS Heriot Watt program before i came across Biz school accreditation which EBS doesn't have. But now considering RGU / Strathclyde / Durham / Bradford.
Any opinions for or against these programs? Are there any better alternatives out there?
Thanks in anticipation.

Just a side note: I'm not sure about other countries but at least working in Germany, I'll be able to deduct my tution from my taxes. This reduces my after-tax costs by roughly 30%. If you can do that in your target country as well, it might or might not impact your budget considerations.

Do you mean as a specialization on DL program?

I do, or at least I did, but having checked I see that was mistaken. They have recently closed that pathway. Sorry.

Thanks Duncan.
What is your opinion in terms of pros and cons about the 4 listed schools. At present, I am tending towards Strathclyde / Bradford or the cheaper option in RGU due to links with the Oil & Gas Industry. I currently hold an offer from Strathclyde, waiting on Bradford and yet to apply to the other two.
Thanks for your insight in anticipation.
