Oxademy


Hello,

I was wondering if anyone could shed some light on the Oxademy MBA: £12,000, completely flexible, not accredited, but awarded by the University of Buckingham (a good private university in the UK).

Is this a decent MBA programme? I can't really find any information online about it other than their own marketing. Trying to discern whether it would be better to stretch the budget a little further for an accredited MBA.

Thanks in advance.

I would not call Buckingham a good uni. 
This costs more than a triple crown MBA from MMU or an AACSB MBA from some US schools like MO State. 
I can see any point. I would stay away from something called Oxademy on principal. Was Camford.ac already reserved?

Buckingham is the place that awards a master's that most comprises attending12 dinners. Their two year undergraduate degree is unusual. I'd call it a university, but how can anyone call it good?

Fair enough, thanks for the info. I'd argue good is a relative term. I've seen those Buckingham Masters degrees around the dinners and thought they were intriguing, not necessarily worse, just different.
I do find the lack of accreditation and info disconcerting though.

It certainly is intriguing to have a course that subsists mostly of attending a dinner and making conversation there. However, is that a process of academic development? Are we able to assess learning outcomes? As a scholar, I think it's a joke.
