* Value for Money

"I was attracted to the programme by Bradford's strong reputation for distance learning. I wanted the qualification to be recognised throughout industry once I graduated, not only as an MBA but one from a decent school. I was investing three years' hard work in this and wanted the best return possible at the other end. The variety of learning programmes meant that, while I would predominantly use the distance-learning vehicle, because of the nature of my work, when possible, I could also take block modules. This way, I was able to benefit from the part-time programme, having some taught modules and discussion time with the freedom of conducting the entire MBA studies at my own pace.

I feel the Bradford MBA differentiates me from other engineers and I think - from the feedback I have received from recruitment consultants - that it is valued and opens doors. Of value, also, is the respect gained from potential employers regarding the method of study. They admire the commitment and the drive needed to complete studies over a period of time."

"The programme provides the resources and instruction to transform individuals into knowledgebased decision makers. It prepares students for the ever-changing world of business by creating thoughtful responses to difficult situations. It's not just a regurgitation of information; it's a framework for knowledge creation. Bradford truly helps to create individuals who can put knowledge to work. I now work as the Executive Director of a non-profit organization in Toronto with responsibility for over 45 staff and 250 volunteers. We serve a client base of over 1,000 families and provide relief for the present and hope for the future.

It would be impossible to separate the knowledge gained through my MBA from the attainment of my current position. Board members, including Chief Executives of multinational corporations, are highly impressed with my acumen. I credit this success to Bradford's integrated approach and proven MBA programme."
