MBA at UIBS and TIMI
Hello! I am thinking about doing an MBA in the future. While searching for business schools(in Belgium) that offer MBA programmes, I found the UIBS(www.uibs.org) and the TIMI(www.timi.edu). These are private schools. They look like fine schools but I can't find anything about there accreditation. Sat Jun 02, 2007 03:31 PM Is there anyone that knows something about the reputation and the quality of these schools, and there programmes? Thanks a bunch!

MBA at UIBS and TIMI
Hi,Fri Jun 15, 2007 04:13 PM UIBS is apparently opening a new sattelite campus in Antwerp and Brussels next academic year. "Starting October 2007, AIBS will start offering professionally oriented business and management education ..." (from the AIBS website) I think their main campus is located in Barcelona. I've been studying in Belgium myself but I haven't heard anything positive about TIMI lately, only that they are now part of an Indian school that is having some trouble. What quality is concerned, I'm guessing that they are working towards a major accreditation since the school in Barcelona only exists for 5 years (which is a minimum requirement for many accreditations), however they already seem to have several partnerships with big uni's in the US and South America. I suggest you contact the schools directly and find out yourself since that gives you a better look at things. Let us know about your findings! Kind regards, Kevin |

MBA at UIBS and TIMI
UIBS has opened a campus in Antwerp already and campus in Brussels will be operational from Oct. 2008.Fri Mar 07, 2008 01:28 PM I also want to do MBA and looked at these 2 institutes. But found that there are very much similar, probably started by same person. I have been told by both of the institutes that they don't have accreditation in Belgium due to language berriers (English vs. Belgian languages). Does anyone know if its good to join TIMI? I would like to have views of someone who has passed from there. [Edited by pgupta on 07 Mar 2008] |

I know it\'s true that in belgium there are no private schools recognized by their government. I went to a international school in Brussels in high school and it wasn\'t listed with the ministery of education in belgium so my parents had to pay for the studies all by themselves so i was only there for 2 years. Too bad though cuz i loved the education there! Right now i\'m studying in the univesity in brussels. When I have enough money after my bachelor I am definitely considring private schools again for a master or something cuz I don\'t really care that a school is not listed by the goverment

But MBA programmes can't be measured just by how much one pays - like any other graduate qualification, accreditation, quality of teaching, rankings, the breadth and depth of courses offered, entrance requirements and so on are far more important. I don't know too much about the system in Belgium, but in a lot of places private schools exist outside government assessment excercises for good reason, ie. they're not good enough.
