Hello guys,

I am planning to take an online MBA by next year, and I need your advice and recommendations for my current situation.

I’m 40 yrs old from the Philippines, working here in Saudi Arabia in Finance.
Budget $20,000-$23,000 within 2 years or more.
Seeking a school that’s more on case study method. ( to apply gained knowledge)
Flexible English MBA with specialization; Investment/business analysis, IT management, change management
Interactive delivery, group test, actual seminars, webinars.
Accredited for at least one of AACSB, AMBA, or EQUIS.

After grad, to transfer either to US or Asia.
Good networking opportunities and job assistance.

Main Goal:
CFO position. (In the future)

I've searched MBA schools:
Aston
Bradford
Durham
Suffolk
Washington state U
(Any other recommendations are welcome)

I'm currently studying for CMA (US).


Thank you for your help in advance.

Unless by marriage, a career move to the US seems unlikely. Which of these programmes has the best network in the Asian countries you are targeting? I know Bradford used to teach in Manila, so could be good for the Philippines.

Thanks Duncan, going back to the Philippines is actually at the bottom of my plan.
I don't know the extent of their network in Asia. But I'm looking for Singapore or Malaysia.
May i know what are the unique differences abut these schools?
Advantages against each other?

See my post, linked from my profile page, on how you can use LinkedIn to compare networks. Network power might be more important than the difference between triple crown schools, which all show a lot of isomorphism. Durham is a more prestigious undergraduate brand in the UK, while Bradford has had a stronger business school for a few decades more. If all other things are the same, then Durham is the safe choice as a top 100 global university.

Thanks Duncan,

i will do the research.

It maybe a little far-fetched, but could you do the Manchester Global MBA (and its workshops in Singapore?)

Thanks laurie for the recommendation, but Manchester does not fit my budget.
I will be financing my own study w/o any sponsors.
