@excellencies,
Good point. The person that asked this question said that he would like to g into Consulting. If one wants to go into consulting, MBA would be a better choice. If you want to get a PHD, Msc is better.

@ Mevisbleek.
To me Msc is better for consulting because of research capabilities to make inquiry and investigations, but can go for MBA in a highly placed business school (Not just a university) for the purpose of networking. What helps most times in consulting is not even classroom experience but exposures and experiences on certain things and your ability to sustain relationships that brings client referrals.

Phew! I love you all. This thread is really insightful and it is seriously revealing! Thanks all.

excellencies: I dont believe u can do Msc Management str8 with Bsc microbiology, no pgd, no mba. If u say it is possible. Pls tell me 2 or 3 skls doing dat in uk or us so I can recommend for pple close to me. Also I doubt the global relevance of such schools in Management programs.

Yes there are (at least over there in the UK). My case is an example. I hold a first degree in Electrical and Electronics Engineering and was later admitted into Brunel Business School (Brunel University, Uxbridge) were I graduated with an M.Sc in Business Management. And I wasn't the only.

@ OP, I suggest you go through the M.Sc route (Business Mgt). Both M.Sc and MBA offer the very same modules like Strategic Management (Corporate and Business level strategies), Financial Mgt, Entrepreneurial studies, etc. There were differences though as the former offers additional courses like HRM and Corporate Governance. And it's research based, unlike the MBA that's more practical.

So go for Msc. "Ocelot" from Brunel University has confirmed too.

I don't think we need to argue abt this,The first Point of action is,what is your career goal?
Both r ok for Consulting firm,bt if U̶̲̥̅̊ r sure that U̶̲̥̅̊ will deviate into academics,Msc is prefered,cos it provides the shortest route to attaining Phd in mgt compared to MBA.

Thank bro!

Pls, I need help asap. I have a BSc in Computer Science (2.2) and wanna put in for a masters (MSc or MBA) Business Admin in NOUN, I've already bought the pin from the bank for onward processing but a bit not clear about certain things because of rumors making the rounds, and so I wanna be sure:
1. Must I do a pgd first and if not which of MSc or MBA should I do considering ease of admission and marketability?
2. If I do a pgd, must it be in Business Admin or can I choose something like Public Admin and then Master in Business Admin later?
Thanks.

Well, i think it depends on the institution.

Some institution allows u to do any masters programme as long as u have 2.2 and above, and some don't depending on d course.

Check for the institution you want to apply in, and check their requirements as regards MBA.
Is there any diff btw MBA and Masters in Science in Business adminstration.
To me they are they thesame thing, just an acronym and full meaning.

Good luck

Which university in Nigeria offers part time MSc in Business Management or Business Administration. Not MBA ooo.

Please help a brother.

Unless you have HND or less than 2nd Class lower, you don't need PGD before you do MBA ooo, no matter what course you studied.

Most people still don't know that after MBA they can proceed directly to DBA and still be referred to as Dr.

Before I offer advice, I'd like to provide a summary of my educational background. I hold an MBA from the University of Toronto and am currently pursuing a DBA (Doctor of Business Administration). In my view, an MBA carries more weight than an MSC. An MSC is typically sought by those aiming for a Ph.D. For more info about No Credit Check Loans
