Leaving the University of Liverpool

Hello everyone,

This forum helped me 4 years ago to register with the university of liverpool for itès MBA program.

Now i finished and i registered my DBA with the university of liverpool as well. However, an incident happened where they increased the tuition fees before paying the first installment.

They told me the fees is 72,500USD with a "Pay as you go" option. The first installment when i calculated it, there was an extra 400USD, When i asked them, they told me the fees increased by $5000. Without even telling me, they just added it to the installment while i am still on my FIRST MODULE.

Anyways, i really think this is unethical way of approaching the educational market, and it can destroy the university of Liverpool's reputation since i asked on our doctorate of liverpools facebook group page, and they said the same thing happened to them.



Finally, i am really looking into another university that has an accredited DBA that is online, ( i don't mind one campus visit if needed).

After searching here on this forum, i came upon university of strathclyde, some people here have posted this university is accredited from various accreditation agencies and it is research based online.

I can't find on there website that they are offering online education. and can someone who is in that university tell us more about there experience?

And if anyone has any other recommendation to join an accredited DBA please tell me.

Thanks.

Two UK DBA programs: I believe EBS requires zero residence; the other requires a one day mandatory residence. Neither are AACSB accredited though.
Self-study DBA from Edinburgh Business School
Business Administration | Middlesex University London

 

Re Strathclyde Business School (AACSB, AMBA, EQUIS) MRes, DBA and PhD degree programs:

Why not just directly contact them with your questions? This link provides email addresses for the various discipline /concentration areas:
Postgraduate Research - University of Strathclyde

 

Here's something I found:
Distance Learning (MEng/BEng, MSc, CPD) The University of Strathclyde - University of the Year 2012/13 - Times Higher Education Awards

 

Thank you guys very much !! ill look into these links posted.

 

they have issues answering questions i guess. i mailed them and they never answered back

 

Don't forget some UK schools are now on summer break. Enrollment for the fall are already set.

 

I have looked on the Strathclyde site and can find nothing directly about a true distance program. Perhaps I have not looked closely enough, perhaps it's one of those things common to UK programs that's done on an ad hoc basis. Does someone know of a link to some site or information that establishes Strathclyde had a DBA or PhD is management or a related discipline that can be pursued at a distance?

 

Re: Postgraduate Research:

“Potential applicants should note that there is no dedicated distance-learning programme. You're required to attend the department for at least ten days per year.”
