HP!!! stop acting.. n leave that broken english :P :D I'm just thinking abt it.. may b in US or somewhere in Europe.. but for sure.. I wanna study something.. :| but dunno if it'll work out.. but i'm worried lest I dont make an effort I'll never know the result.. but no one here seems to know anything on it.. or no one is interested.. ..
It'll also help DF when someone tries to google 'GMAT in Dubai'.

I am not going to recommend you the European MBA. US is the palce for MBA but again it is the matter of reputation of Business skole vs no name Business schools. Well cost of MBA is also big factor.
I heard London Business School (LBS) is opening their branch in Dubai. It must be expensive .

You shuld also consider where do u want to get settle in future. It is hard to get job in Europe with Business education as u have to speak the language of subject country and it is not that easy. U cant expect to talk to Italian in Englesk. :lol:

Keith has MBA from london , i forgot his university , was it south bank university ? I am not sure but u can check the price and ranking of business skole.


about GMAT :

U need to buy the books and need to do lot of exercises .

Most of the Business schools in UK are money making machines. They run the MBA for one year instead of 3 years MBA . Thats strange. I dont have trust on UK's universities and the quality óf education in UK :lol:

Yea Very true.. there are lots of schools just for the name sake.. and almost all schools are lookin to make money But I guess thats the case with education anywhere.... charging money to meet expenses is fine but to make profilt is a but uncool.. :| but hey who r we to decide.. :)

nice suggestions, I've heard that of the good european MBA's where people speak english :P, Bradford, Cambridge, Lundon Business School r good ones.. n how abt Copenhagen Business School?

I'd preferably do it in India IIM... but CAT, thats one real hard nut to crack :) :) otherwise from US. If UAE has some reputed schools and the courses that i'm lookin at, i'dnt mind takin it up here as well..

I did Master in E-Business from Copenhagen Business school. CBS used to run the master course in IT University of Copenhagen. Well tution fee is quite high now in Denmark . Prospect of jobs after Business degree is quite low .

I think u shuld look for english speaking countries. Otherwise in Europe u have to start like a child who doesnt know any language :lol: .

why do u want to do an MBA? career change ?

Amazon.co.uk or Germany must be having lot of collection of books. I think u can buy indian edítion from India . No need to waste money on paper quality :P

Copenhagen Business skole has exec.MBA , which is quite expensive , otherwise they have tradational MSc degrees.

MBAs can run for 1, 1.5 or 2 years, 3 years would be for half wits. LBS is the only top-ranked UK school, INSEAD the only other world brand in Europe but Oxford and Cambridge coming up fast thanks to big investment.

a new graduate person , always think he/she can change the business to different level and when he or she has to make excel sheets for hours , the he or she comes to real world :lol:

The job which suits me a lot , is a job where i can take a sleep during work for few hours.

like u said .. any MBA that runs for more than 2 yrs fulltime is for dimwits.. I'd like to join for a full time 2 yr course if its in US or a partime course if i'mma be in dubai..I do know that there's a huge difference between the two in terms of quality of education and the gradings..
neway thanks for the heads up scott...
