BA or Diploma and MBA - Which should I do?
Discussion
Hi All.
I have decided that's its time to further educate myself. Other that a handful of GCSE's i have no formal qualifications. I have worked in Sales and IT management for the past 5 years. I will be learning Via Distance Learning around a full time job in Kuwait. We are planning on moving back to Ireland in 3 years so plan on doing as much as I can before then.
Having looked into several degrees and paths to take I have narrowed it down to two;
1) BA In Business and Information Technology, 3 years and 8k. Is this a better accepted degree by employers?
or
2) Post Grad Diploma Level 6 in Management, followed by a MBA, 3 years and 10k. More prestigious but will it stand without the BA?
I have spoken to University and they have indicated that I would be accepted. I know I could do a BA followed by a MBA but I'm basing this on 3 years.
Would love to hear peoples experience and opinions on what would be best?
I must say I'm finding this decision making process quite frustrating as i simply do not know which is best, any help much appreciated!

Level 6 is equivalent to an undergraduate degree whilst level 7 is aligned to Masters. On your CV you could write an MBA qualified .....
Masters is level 9 from what I can see, Honors is 7 or 8. Its probably quite a jump from 6 to 9 but the University assure me its possible and that they accept that progression.Gassing Station | Jobs & Employment Matters | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
