Doctoral Study Options

[kb24bi8]

Hi! It is me again. I have given up on Apollos and GGU since they may not fit my need.

Initially, I chose two universities in Malaysia: INTI DBA and USM PHD+DBA
Since my case is a bit "Unique". I got professional qualification but without master degree.


And currently,
INTI has confirmed my eligibility
USM has not. But from most recent update, I am told that they are yet to admit students with professional qualification into doctoral program (which means possibility of failure)

I have also thought of some options in UK "because I have waited too long for the Malaysian side for a reply"
Arden University has confirmed my eligibility for their Msc top up.
And I was also confirmed eligibility for a OTHM Level 8 Diploma in Strategic Management and Leadership Practice.

Shall I go for the Level 8 diploma? This is the fastest track for a doctorate. However I am not sure which school will offer the dissertation only option. I am aiming at some middle standing school such as  Anglia Ruskin University or UCLAN.
