MBA Sept/Oct 2010
Hi All,Fri Nov 27, 2009 01:48 PM I have 7 plus years of exp in the field of Information technology, have completed certification like PRINCE2. Have international experience of 18 Months in UK and 6 Months in USA. I am willing to take MBA to move higher in to Managament Laddar. Can you please advice on available options for me. Due to very busy schedule i am not in position to appear for GMAT examiniation so that is problem for me. I agree that current job market is not good worldwide due to recession but by the time u finish MBA course in sept 2011, it will be in stable and better position and with Olympics coming up in 2012 i definatly think that it will be in good shape in UK. Please advice on what all universities are available where its possible to get in without GMAT score. Thanks. |

U may try some of these: Cardiff Aberdeen Kent Bangor Stirling Aberystwyth Oxford Brookes Swansea Newcastle There are a couple of other schools that dont ask for GMAT score.If u applying 2 any of the above schools look for those with AMBA Accredition like Aberystwyth,Swansea,Kent etc. |

Hi - Fri Dec 04, 2009 09:25 AM You do need GMAT for all the best programs. But if you are willing to go to a 1 yr program without GMAT requirement, they will not be the best knwon for the MBA. It seems you are most interested in getting the qualification and general business knowledge to improve your current position rather than any career change. In this case, you should also look at EMBA programs. Cass Business School does not require the GMAT and it is well known in the city. LBS needs the GMAT but I would argue it is more experience they look at for EMBA unlike their full time program. Basically for EMBA's you might still need the GMAT but it does not matter that much for EMBA's if you do not get 700+... Good luck. |

Hi Nes,Sat Dec 05, 2009 09:51 AM Thanks for your reply..... I agree that with good GMAT score i can get admission to any good school as well..... But due to busy work schedules am not in postiion to go for GMAT and financial constraint also does not allow me to spend too much in my MBA..... thats the reason i am planning to get in to any of Aston, Durham, Bradford or Birmingham as i think this are good tier 2 MBA institution....whats your take on these universities....

Well, a full time MBA costs multiple times more than a exam like GRE/GMAT...I took GRE when I was working and it took 2 months of preparation...hectic but a do-able thing...Sat Dec 05, 2009 11:21 AM The difference in standard between Aston, Durham, Bradford and Birmingham is very less...all are 'almost' of the same league with Durham got 'just a little' better reputation than the rest as an Uni in the UK. Its very difficult to say whats tier two since there is no official categorization of tiers and misconceptions do exists...for example before coming to UK I used to think that Lancaster is world class business school, thanks to their agreesive marketing in different news publications but now I find out that Lancaster is a tier 2 b school...there is no such thing as 'good tier 2 mba institution'...its just 'your' perception after referring to rankings ...

@miteshmcse Mon Dec 14, 2009 08:47 AM Durham Business School is a very well known Business School, which admits students without GMAT! All other reputed B-Schools will ask for GMAT score! So, as per my knowledge, Durham will be the best possible option for you! |

Fri Jan 07, 2011 05:50 PM Hi All,, I have just my completed my Prince2 too. You are lucky you got some real life experience in the UK, do you know any good places I can get some experience in the US, and can you share some of your experience academically and work related, thanks. You are right the recession has caused some big time inconveniences. [Edited by Admin on 09 Jan 2011] |
