Testimonials

“EBS offered me something that other universities did not – flexibility. With my busy lifestyle I need an MBA that adapts to my schedule and the EBS-MBA fits in perfectly. Thanks to this opportunity I can pursue my studies as and how I want.”

– Nadine Zahra, Training & Consultancy Unit, Bank of Valletta plc

“What convinced me to read for the Heriot-Watt MBA is the flexibility it provides to its students. This makes it possible to co-ordinate a heavy workload with an intense and rigorous study schedule. The way the course is structured allows one to focus on one’s career and yet also find time to balance out family life and study periods.

It is important to be well organised, disciplined and motivated to progress steadily throughout the course. One of the main benefits of the EBS MBA is the in-built philosophy of applied teaching – as all theory is made relevant to the realities of the business world. I can say, with confidence, that whatever one learns during the course is directly applicable to one’s job. There are also a sufficient variety of courses to allow one to tailor the MBA programme to one’s own career and functional specialisation.

The University’s online technology is first-class. The “faculty board” web link is very user-friendly and enables constant communication with tutors and colleagues. Self-assessment tests and course-related downloads keep one on track and serve as a constant guide as to progress made throughout the course. This ensures that one is never “alone” during the programme.

I find that Heriot-Watt’s MBA offers the best combination of flexibility, quality and value. The exams are tough but fair and all course aspects are well administered with the constant support of a friendly, efficient team at the Malta Institute of Management.”

– Albert Gouder, Marketing Manager, Go Mobile

“The MSc in Financial Management a course offered by the Edinburgh Business School, through the Malta Institute of Management is a course which is specifically targeted to professionals within the Finance industry ranging from Accountants to Bankers to Risk Managers. Subjects studied range from Derivatives to Accountancy to Credit Risk Management and other various topical subjects.

This distance learning course, comes with up to date course material and past papers. Students are provided with on-line facilities such as an Online Course Text, Self Assessments, Past Papers, and a Forum with the course tutor and other students.

The support provided by the Malta Institute of Management was another reason why I chose to take up this course. I strongly recommend this course for professionals who either want to further their career or want to keep abreast of developments within such a dynamic field.”
