It has been three months since I enrolled as MBA-IB student at USM.. Master in Business Administration - International Business.. So what's here to share?
Hurm.. Some sort of roller coaster rides as MBA-IB student.. thus, at least I can give some idea to those who are seeking and 'google'ing this matter.. You are most welcome to USM.. (>_<)
First thing first..
Erk.. meaning to say that.. (use your own interpretation skill..) hee =)
So back to the main point here.. erm.. let me first share what are the subjects taken for this very first semester..? Before that, just so you know.. MBA-IB is offered for full time students only.. prior to that.. for every application to pursue MBA@USM, we have to undergo an interview session.. A month after that, you can check your application status here.. MBA-IB is a two year (four semester) coursework programme and during the third semester, it is compulsory to undergo student exchange programme (SEP)..
so GSB has already giving us the course guidelines.. for first year, first semester.. we have to take five core subjects which are:
- AGW 610 Finance & Accounting for Management
- AGW 613 Management and Organizational Behavior
- AGW 614 Managerial Economics
- AGW 617 Operation Strategy
- AGU 644 International Marketing Management
In other words, we have to attend five days classes instead of two to four classes only as requisite by MBA General full time or part time student.. by the way.. all of our class is at night.. (>_<)
not sure for next intake though..
It may be an advantage for the BBA background student or those who have working experience in realted department such as finance, supply chain, marketing, etc.. Why so? since you already have the whole picture or at least have an almost-complete jigsaw puzzles.. Thus, perhaps it's easier..
haha as compared to me.. I am almost zero working experience plus I did my undergrad degree in engineering field.. thus... what else to guess? (T_T)
Luckily, I am very passionate and interested in business and MBA is one of listed items to be accomplished in my bucket list.. Thus, it will be one of the greatest challenges I am facing in my World of Wisdom.. Like like like..
One tips.. MBA is no longer an individual but it's a group matter.. If you can find those who you can get along together, study together, and do all the projects together.. It is the best!
Be a part of T.E.A.M.. Together Everyone Achieve More..
