Overview of my MBA

My overall feedback of the programme is that it was very demanding but also very rewarding. I enjoyed the studies and feel that I learnt a considerable amount which I am able to apply to my current and future work.

I enrolled in the EBS programme in January 2008 and scheduled my MBA papers/exams as follows:

• June 2008: Marketing, Organizational Behaviour
• December 2008: Accounting, Finance, Project Management, Economics
• June 2009: Strategic Planning, Strategic Negotiation, Competitive Strategy

I chose my two electives (Strategic Negotiation and Competitive Strategy) on the basis that I could also use them for my MSc in Strategic Planning.

My scores on the MBA programme ranged from 63 (Strategic Negotiation) to 87 (Accounting). Since my average was slightly over 70 I was able to graduate with a distinction. Generally my scores were higher on the more numerical modules (Accounting, Economics, Finance) and lower on the modules which require (in my opinion) more subjective answers.

I would add that there is not necessarily a high correlation between the modules where I scored highly and those which I felt to be most valuable or enjoyable. In fact there isn't even a significant correlation between how I felt after writing the paper and how well I did. Every score was a surprise - some higher and some lower than I had anticipated.
