Hi All,
I am planning to pursue an affordable online MBA from a university in the UK. Research for over a couple of weeks has led me to a lot of confusion. I request you all to help me reach a decision with this.
I have a Bachelors in Engineering. Have been working in the middle east (Oman & UAE) for the past 5 years for an MNC in Project Management. My aim is to increase my knowledge in operations & management to move further up in my present company. Even though I am planning to remain in the middle east for the foreseeable future, an MBA that can be of value to me if I plan to migrate to Europe will be a plus. Considering the tuition fees for online MBA's, I have filtered my options to EBS, Bradford, Durham & Manchester Met.
Kindly suggest which is the best option to go with. Please keep in mind that I plan to remain in Dubai.
Hoping to hear from you all.
Thanks

Exclude EBS since it lacks International accreditation. Surely Bradford is the best choice because it runs it's EMBA face to face in the UAE and will have a bigger network.

Thanks for the reply duncan! surely bradford is a very good option, but the fee is a bit of an obstacle. what would you say the manchester met mba standing is in the middle east?

LinkedIn is a good guide to how few MBA alumni MMU has in the region, and that is the best indicator of reputation.

Yeah, Bradford will most certainly have the better network in the region - a quick LinkedIn shows that more represented across all industries in the region than MMU.
It boils down to 'you pay for what you get.' The Bradford degree will definitely help you get a better network, which will most likely lead to positions with more seniority / salary. In that sense the extra investment will be worth it.
