Hey Everyone.
Thanks for taking the time to read this. I am a 29 year old Canadian student looking to do an online MBA in the UK. I do not have an undergrad - which is why I am looking in the UK as Canada doesn't care about me. I am also a business owner and not in need of good job placement at this time. However, I want to personally grow in a traditional school setting and want to have value built upon both education and experience, should I ever decide to work for someone else again.
I have been unconditionally accepted into Warwick's program, but the reality is I just can't afford it at this time (I am considering waiting a year or two to save). And, being that this is a foreign program for me and I am a "part-time" student by my country's standards, getting funding with the terrible exchange rate we have is just about impossible without getting a high interest loan.
So, I am looking into more affordable alternatives. Hence, Birmingham vs Strathclyde vs Aston. I have spoken with all three Admissions and all have been very interested in my application. I do not think I will have an issue receiving offers from any (Budget wise, they are all similar as well). But of the three, which would be best for a distance learning approach? It seems Strathclyde has been a good choice mentioned in other forums, but there are rumblings that the program is slipping. And, when I spoke with their Admissions, though really nice, they seemed very disorganized and uninformed of their program (though willing to help still). Regarding the other two programs, the reviews seemed mixed. Decent and not.
Curious on everyone's thoughts. Thanks for your time.
