Upgrad + Deakin Vs. Hull University MBA


Hello there and sorry if I'm double posting.


Please bear with me my long inquiry, I'd really appreciate your input.


I want to take an MBA for the below specified reasons:

1- I work in business but I don't have a business degree so I can stay relevant, also the bachelor degree I possess is from a public university in Egypt which makes it extremely hard to land a job in the big multinational companies due to their preferism to ivy league universities, so I can decrease the gap

2- I work in Dubai now but my ultimate goal hopefully is to immigrate to Europe or Australia, I need something with global recognition and accreditation (not key factor in choosing best MBA)

3- And of course the basic requirements to learn more and grow and earn more


Now, for my budget, I'd say the lower the better, but I followed your advice guys and ran away from unaccredited degrees in Egypt like Eslsca and would opt in for on the options mention in the great article by Duncan "Value alternatives to unaccredited MBAs"

and from what's available, in my opinion the best 2 options overall are the Deakin and Hull ones.


I'm comparing to choose which one to get (or any other option you think is better), I did some research and Deakin seems way better and even cheaper! but its downsides are the current program is offering PGMD from Upgrad and not IMT - 75% of the curriculum is offered by Upgrad (including the specialization module) while only 25% offered by Deakin and they condensed the learning to be in only 13months or so - Finally been reading bad reviews about Deakin overall accessibility, refunds, old sessions etc.

For Hull - it's lower rating uni compared to Deakin and more expensive, but upsides are the degree is straight from the university.


So appreciate if you can advise me which one to go with of the 2 mentioned (or any other option you see as a better fit). and if you can be generous enough and answer the below:

1- Is MBA now a good investment with all the layoffs and market saturation with great talents with experience from big companies?

2- Is Upgrad trustworthy? (disclaimer: you can give your honest opinion it won't be considered as official endorsement)
3- Finally, what's the difference between global MBA and normal one? at Hull I found 3 types of MBA and I'm so confused


Thank you so much!
