HI, I am weighing up Manchester Global, Durham Global Online, Bradford DL or Leeds EMBA.
I live in Leeds, so Leeds seemed the obvious place to start. However, I am put off from the enforced working full weekends every 6 weeks. Time off in the week is not a problem for my employer. So I looked into distance blended learning, and Manchester, Durham and Bradford all appeal.
Can anyone advise or link me to a good post, I found an excellent one from a student at Manchester on these boards. Ideally from someone who has first hand knowledge, or knows someone studying these courses. I would prefer the cohort/network to be UK-based, although obviously UK MBAs have global appeal, my field of work is UK based and I have no plans to change that. I guess a global MBA will have a global cohert, and if I want it to be more UK-based I need to look again at Leeds or other part-time attendance MBAs.
I guess I'm not too fussed for the whole networking thing, I just want to learn and find the best way of learning while juggling family life.
I would also prefer the distance learning to be all electronic, ie textbooks electronic, as I am out and about with work and home life a lot. I believe the textbooks at Manchester and Bradford are still in physical form?
If anyone has any thoughts please feel free to share, if not no worries, I will be chatting to the respective universities next week anyway.
