Congratulations on your admits! Fantastic job! Also congratulations on your scholarships.
It is also fantastic that you already have an offer from your employer to potentially come back after your business school. Would they consider sponsoring you?
As to the choices, two-year programs are usually better because they have summer internships and allow you to switch industries and get a brand-name company on your resume even if it’s just for the summer. It sounds like you’re not switching industries or potentially even companies
so a 1-year program would be just fine.
My suggestion is often to go to school in the country where you plan on living and working. If you’re going to stay in Singapore, it would be most beneficial to be close to your Alma matter and the network that it has. Your plan to go away for a year to the UK and exploring new horizons and opportunities sounds good too. I don’t know what dollar amount were talking since you included percentages and it’s a little vague and I’m a little lazy to look the costs up and calculate it out on my phone Your plan to go away for a year to the UK and exploring new horizons and opportunities sounds good too. I don’t know what dollar amount were talking since you included percentages and it’s a little vague and I’m a little lazy to look the costs up and calculate it out on my phone(sorry
) but I don’t think it would be a mistake to attend Judge or Said. Though Judge is usually considered stronger and more established... But in any case you won’t be using the name of Judge or Said, instead it will be Cambridge or oxford.... no wrong choice.
I can see why I would lean towards Cambridge or Oxford - global brands that would have a strong name recognition in Singapore and SE Asia and Europe. As long as you can justify it for your goals and aspirations.
Congratulations!

Hi BB.
Thanks for the detailed post, appreciate it.
My company will not be sponsoring me and I will probably take a loan out to pursue the MBA.
The cost after scholarship and including cost of living:
NTU - 48k
Cambridge - 119k
Oxford - 146k
Between judge and said, said has been climbing the ranks recently and I thought the additional $ might be worth it? not sure. but currently leaning towards cambridge.
