Looking at doing FT MBA here. Basic language skills (but improving slowly...). Currently in a reasonable job, but it has no opportunities for advancement. I'm finding that better opportunities require 'more' (education and language). Wanting to use the MBA to open more doors and gain the formal education. Needs to be useable back in Aus in case can't get a good job again here in China. Career is moving towards being more of a Technical/Operations/Manufacturing/Business manager than a technical specialist. Looking at BIMBA 1 year (they told me one year, but many sites say 18m ?) USD 20k - affordable can't find much written about it in terms of use in and out of China. CEIBS 18m, USD35k - upper level of affordablity seems to be mainly for those intending to work in Shanghai Guanghua 2 years (too long ?), USD20k - affordable seems to have a good reputation / recognition Tsinghua 2 years (too long ?), USD20k - affordable seems to have a good reputation / recognition (technical ?) 1) what's the difference between Guanghua & BIMBA ? 2) is CEIBS worth it outside ShangHai ? 3) can BIMBA be done in 12 months ? 4) how does BIMBA compare to all the above ? Closing dates are fast approaching, so I appreciate your advice so I can make a balanced decison. Thanks !

Source: The official website: enweb.bimba.edu.cn/english/en/kc01.php Of course, they could have changed the program duration and have forgotten to update the website ;-)
