Hi,
I have been a Manager for over 6 years now - I d'ont have formal qulaifications in Management and am not sure really if its the game for in the longer term. It can obviously be challenging alright but I suppose I don't find it stimulating. One of the area's of weakness I have is in the area of Project Management so I started and online diploma in this.
I have found the content of the course to be slightly weak and perhaps a bit dated. So I began looking at alternatives and found this;
Master of Science in International Management - MSc in IM
By the end of the programme you will have mastered general management theory and its application in today’s global economy. Your understanding of complex organisations and your highly developed analytical and personal skills will equip you for a challenging management position in a wide range of international companies.

I have read the information and it says a degree and or experince. I think for this content I have the experience. My questions are;
1) I dont have the time to do a formal course as in night course due to kids and living location etc. Given that I accept an online qualification may not be as valuable as a formal qualification - would two years + acquiring an Msc which I suppose covers academically what I have already covered in my day to day be more valuable than adding a diploma which would give me practical skills to apply.
2) Is 10K on this Msc better spent than 8K on a diploma
3) In the longer term even if I didn't stay in management - it would not better to have the Msc than not?
Kind Regards,
R
