Hello all,

I am planning to take a MBA program in 2009. I got my bachelor drgree in Hong Kong in Jun 2006. After consideration, I found that Australia Graduate School of Management (AGSM) UNSW seems quite good for me (since my brother is studying in Sydney too).

Did anyone have actual experience studying in AGSM, or any information about the actual study of the program?

I worked in bank for 1 year and worked for an IT firm for half year, now going to be a broker. I am wondering whether my working experience considered elagible?

I am going to study full time in Australia, but since I am an oversea candiate, would the requirement for me be higher than local?

Iread the ranking report in Financial Times, AGSM's MBA program is ranked 49 in the world. I would like to know is that sounds good in the employer's mind?

Can anyone give me some advice about my application?

Sorry for raising so many questions

Best Regards,
Sam Tsang

Hi Sam,

MBA programmes outside of the famous top 20 ones in the US, Insead and LBS are generally best pursued only if you intend to work in that country. An Australian employer would certainly have heard of USNW; those elsewhere may not. If you wish to work elsewhere, or if you are not sure if your future will continue to lie in Australia, pursuing a top-name MBA may be your best bet.

As for whether such work experience is eligible, you will want to consider your career progression at your office, how your work experience is tied up to your short and long term goals, and lastly whether the school itself considers you eligible (you'll probably have to contact them for this).

Good luck,
Jason

I am currently looking out for a well reputed university to do my MBA and a friend of mine suggested me about S P Jain GMBA program . And I am quite interested to pursue its tri-city model program. I was also told that students are responsible to apply for an Australian visa due to its migration process . So can someone please suggest what are the language tests that I have to give to obtain an Australian visa ?

I guess you have to give IELTS , TOEFL and Pearson Test of English. To get a beeter idea regarding this you can find out it in their website .

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
