Anglia Ruskin MBA at KBU
For three students
from a pioneer batch of MBA students in KBU International College, Bandar Utama, Malaysia, they found out that returning to education after having joined the workforce can be a challenge. The discipline of juggling work, studies and personal life is certainly a strain but was overridden by their burning desire to obtain the postgraduate qualification and knowledge in order to enhance their careers. In the process, they found that as a bonus, they unwittingly improved their time management, productivity and outlook. This is what the three students have to say about their experience:
“I have been eager to pursue the MBA programme but managing work, course assignments and travelling can be testing at times,” claims Sarah Lee who commutes from Singapore every weekend to attend classes. Sarah who is a Business Manager with DKSH Singapore Pte Ltd adds that the affordability and the reputable brand name of the programme are the main reasons she picked KBU.
KBU alumnus, Sean Wong did not 30
need any coaxing when it came to picking the MBA programme offered at KBU. The Senior Engineer at Maxis Berhad Malaysia who deals with product and engineering services is confident with the quality of education offered at this institution. Sean who graduated with a first class degree in BEng (Hons) Electrical & Electronic Engineering did not want to waste time in equipping himself with the requisite business knowledge so that he will be well poised to climb up the corporate ladder. “I’ve finished my degree four years ago so getting back to studying is not such a big challenge; the momentum is still there. However, discipline and time management is vital to make it in this programme”, he adds.
Vandy Eng, an Engineer of Hardware Design for Devices from Panasonic chose to study the MBA to upgrade and prepare herself for
new roles in the future. “I have been looking forward to getting back to studying as I enjoy learning new things. Balancing work and studies is challenging but its good fun too.” Vandy adds that she enjoys the camaraderie amongst the course mates and the stimulating learning environment. Although she is not able to apply everything she is learning to her current position, she said the programme has been a real eye opener.
All three part-time students complimented KBU School of Business, Hospitality and Tourism Management which has gone out of its way to ensure that students are able to enjoy all the facilities on campus. They were granted privileges such as extended library time, additional book borrowing facilities, refreshments and excellent support from the programme leader.
