Hi,
I am applying to SBS MBA for the autumn 2010 intake. I am an international applicant and if accepted I’ll be bringing my wife and 6 year-old kid too. Which college do you recommend for me to apply to?
Thanks.

To those reading this blog/post, I applied for 2010 EMBA admission and was accepted. I am thrilled and apprehensive at the same time – this is a big step in my personal and professional life. Nonetheless, all of the current or former EMBA’s I have spoke with recite a common theme – it is transformational. I need not hear anymore to know that I have made the correct decision and am ready to get started.

If you are even thinking of applying – do it, the process of applying itself was quite revealing. The staff were fantastic while I was on campus for the interview.

Comment on The profits of the Executive MBA by Bevenisha Moodie

I totally agree with choosing the EMBA programme as opposed to the MBA, but mainly for the fact that the latter trains you to be functional, while we are trained to be strategic.

I wish you all the very best with your studies. As a matter of fact we should consider “comparing notes” sometime.

Comment on Are MBA’s fit for purpose? by Shanmugam Sudalaimuthu

I agree with you Clive, management being an art and science can be taught in the classroom. The only requirement is that the student must be intelligent enough to grasp the concepts quickly and apply his own knowledge and be open for continuous learning. MBA enables one to learn from the experience of others rather than doing mistakes and learning it the hard way. And of course it is not cookbook recipe, one cannot apply whatever he studied blindly.

I am also considering applying for the 2010 MBA or 2009/10 EMBA program. I am still unsure whether I should apply for the full time program as I considering a change in my career (the company will provide no funding).

Is there career support available for current EMBA students to help establish a change in career?

Can you please comment on your Entrepreneurial Project with your firm?

Thanks and all the best!

You will find there is a good mix of students within the class and the activities are varied. The first week is a very social week and there many activities to participate in. For example, visiting colleges, the Bodleian Library, shops, restaurants . . . Oxford is a great city and there is a lot to do. So, after a full day of lecture, take the time to explore the city and get to learn more about your classmates — Best of luck next year.

I have been accepted at Oxford to begin 2009. Your first week description was appreciated and has helped me understand and prepare for what lies ahead, better. Best of luck in the remainder of your programme. By the way, what do us non-drinkers do when everyone else is visiting pubs and partying?
