Hi,
After many years, I am returning to education and have decided to pursue a distance MBA. My current situation below:
Worked within senior and regional roles for the past 15 years
No formal bachelor's degree
I am hoping to utilise my extensive professional experience, having worked in senior roles across several different countries and global locations to qualify for entry to a distance MBA in lieu of a formal degree. I have looked at so many courses and it can be quite overwhelming. My goal is to transition to a MNC, so I am looking to transition industries at some point.
I am also self-funded, so the price does play a role unfortunately and I have been impressed with Alliance Manchester Business School Global MBA, it seems to meet my needs whilst being reasonably priced.
I did notice this year its ranking has dropped a little, should this be something I'm concerned about? I am also curious if anyone has any feedback on this business school? It is a big decision as I will be using savings but the hope is that I can formalise my professional skills, network, and add depth to my experience.
Any advice or insights would be greatly appreciated.

There's a long-term trend for British schools to fall as education improves in the rest of the world. The Global MBA, the part-time MBA at AMBS, is not in any FT ranking.

Thanks Duncan, I appreciate your response.
From what I know, there isn't a part time ranking, so I was going on the full time mba rankings on QS and FT. My understanding for part time MBA is that the final award does not differentiate or stipulate PT or FT.
I have been looking at Warwick as well, but from research AMBS may be better for those transitioning industries. I was curious to know what would be the major differences of both programmes, and if there are other business schools I may not have considered that you or anyone else would recommend investigating?

I probably should point out that I'm based in Asia, which was another reason for looking more closely at the AMBS global programme.
