The Kelley-AMBS degree is not an EMBA so for a similar budget you could attend a better programme like the EMBA at Bayes, Imperial or Warwick. More to the point, if you are in the UK you have the option of the senior management apprenticeship which covers most of the cost of the part-time MBA at Cranfield, Henley, Lancaster, Manchester etc.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br><br>Kelley is a great school but I am not sure of its utility in the UK. Boston University's online MBA is one third the price and a bigger name in health and pharma.&nbsp;

Yes I am in the UK / Born here.<br><br>I was under the impression that the senior management apprenticship goes through the employer via the levy, if I am doing this in a personal capacity whilst contracting on the I would not benefit from this right since I am not an employee? or is there a work around if im employed under my own LTD?<br><br>I was also under the impression that Executive MBAs dont attract much in terms of scholarships as they usually have employer contributing funding, and typically are higher cost than part time MBAs.

Your firm would pay at most 5% of the cost. You can offset that via a salary sacrifice. If you firm will not do that for you, you shoud be looking for a new job.

I don't think there is a big difference between that MSc and an MBA.&nbsp;
