Hi everyone,

I am a 29 years old guy from Indonesia and hold an M.Sc in Food Business & Consumer Studies from the University of Kassel in Germany that I completed with top grades. I have 3 years experience of project management in consumer service department of a global food company in Munich.

To boost my career and extend my network, I am thinking of getting a part time MBA (I can't really justify the missing opportunity cost of doing a full time MBA). I have been looking into the Henley part time MBA here in Munich and attended one of their open day. It was pretty nice and I liked the programme structure, however it was also pretty expensive at 32k for their face to face part time MBA.

I am wondering if it is better to take a distance learning programme from a more reputable university such as Warwick or Manchester, or would the Henley face to face part time programme would be more beneficial for me?

I am looking to change my career direction to a more marketing related role. In a few years I am planning of relocating to New Zealand so the reputation of the school there is important too.

What would you guys recommend?

Thank you in advance for your answers.

Best regards,

I think the best tactic for you will be to take a full-time MBA in New Zealand. Looking at this tactic: http://www.find-mba.com/board/33571 It seems that a ten or so business schools have a huge 'market share'. Taking an MBA there will give you a strong network. As someone with a German background, you'd bring more to an MBA in NZ than the average Indonesian, so you'd be able to get into a better MBA there.

Henley operated its MBA in NZ for a long time, and that is one of those ten. If you want to do a part-time or DL MBA, then Henley makes sense.
