looking for full time MBA programm in UK


Posted Jul 15, 2016 09:04

Hello
everybody.

Could you please recommend (suggest) me the ways.
My question is:
which universities can you recommend me to apply?
My Bachelor degree is in Law, also I have EMBA (it was part time
format, I was not sutisfied).

My work experience in Oil&Gas and Mining industry (12 years work experience, current position: Head of Legal Department, Government Relations manager -GR).
I'm in UK from December 2015 (last week I've finished to study at Language school. I've been studying there specially to pass my IELTS exam).
I intend to study in one if the UK's universities (full-time MBA programm, intake: September 2016).
I have 3 conditionalp offers: Durham, Exeter, Aberdeen (Durham and Exeter require IELTS overall 7 , with no elements below 6).

My current IELTS results:
exam in May 7,2016
   overall 6
Speaking 6,5
Listening 6
Reading 5,5
Writing 5
 
exam in June25,2016
    overall 5,5
Speaking 6
Listening 5,5
Reading 5
Writing 5,5

I've booked next exam, it will be in July 30.
I finished to study at language school, but I plan to have individual
lessons from Saturday this week.
I live in London now (until August 2016, because of visa's "deadline"),
I'm afraid that I can't achieve overall 7 in IELTS, which was required by Durham (Durham was my first choice, because of the "brand name").

Could you
please recommend me another universities, with
1. reachable IELtS requirements
2. prestigious name (I would like to pay for the "name of uni" too. I pay by my own.
3. I'm ready to go to pre-sessional
4. no GMAT (of course).
5. Intake in September 2016 (I don't want to waste time. I've already spent my time for language school (I stopped to work for my employer in December last year, because of IELTS exam)
6. fee: no more than 22000-23000£ (I would like to use "scholarships" too).

Thank you in advance for your reply.

Let me be honest with you. The only prestigious MBA schools are the ones that required GMAT. Other than those, you can just enjoy the studying atmosphere in the UK.

So, what you're saying is unless you can get a higher IELTS score, your only option is the Aberdeen MBA?

There are very few other MBA programs that meet all of your criteria (tuition + no GMAT score). Of course, if you're not a UK/EU resident, and want to get a job in the UK after graduation, you're going to want to look at FT-ranked MBA programs - most of which will require the GMAT.

There are some good MBA programs which GMAT is not compulsory.

1. Lancaster. (GMAT preferred, but not compulsory)
2. Manchster. (Without GMAT, you can ask them to take their internal exam.)
3. Durham. (GMAT preferred, but not compulsory)
4. Trinity College and UCD (GMAT preferred, but not compulsory) (If you are interested in Irland)
5. Edinburgh. (GMAT preferred, but not compulsory)
6. Bath. (GMAT preferred, but not compulsory)
7. Henley. (GMAT preferred, but not compulsory)
8. Birmingham, Aston, LEEDS...

Those MBAs which are in top 100 by the Financial time considered as good MBAs.

If u r interested in UK MBA, take some time to go their website.

Maybe I give wrong information. But mostly those MBAs above have a good university reputation and good MBA reputation in UK or in EUROPE maybe...

Many thanks for all replies. I really appreciate it.
My current IELTS result is overall 6 (L6. R6. W 6,5. S 6).
There is a doubt regarding University of Aberdeen Business school because of lack of any accreditation (MBA in Energy management fee 19000£+ 9135& living costs)...

Having enough funds to pay off the school fee and targeting the ones ranked on Financial Times should not get you wrong.

Thank you for your comment, I've understood.
Actually, there is no problem with funds.
I meant, my current exam result meet only U o Aberdeen 's requirement. But, due to lack of any accreditation there is no reason to pay for this program.
On the other hand, time-wasting is another issue.

Don't worry. It's not totally a waste of time. It's about pursuing something you are comfortable with. For instance, I gave up offer from 2 UK school better than Aberdeen for this year entry to go to a better school next year.

Thank you.
What are your IELTS and GMAT scores? (if it's not a secret, pardon:)
