MBA or MSc?

StudentXY · 2011-09-06 22:17:53

Hey guys, I have just finished my BA in Business with Marketing and am thinking of doing a postgraduate in DBS. I am not sure which one to do though, would anyone have any opinions? Should i do the MSc in Marketing or the MBA with marketing specialism.... Any advice would be great! Thanks in advance :)

The general concensus is that theres little value in going straight from an undergraduate course to an MBA without at least 5 - 6 years work experience, preferebaly in management. I'm starting a part time MBA in 2 weeks, the average class age is 36 which gives you an indication of the demographic experience. It appears that your goal is to persure a career in Marketing, if so, the MSc would be the prudent choice. Get some good experience under your belt and consider the MBA again if you have a desire to work at senior managament level at some point.
