COL MBA/MPA Project Manual of AIOU

Dr. Mohammad Yaseen, Chairman PTA

I really enjoyed the AIOU MBA experience and I believe the program was very well conducted. The program, with its practical focus, gave me the opportunity to apply concepts learned to several professional assignments that I carried as a Head of Pakistan Telecommunication Authority. Not only has the AIOU MBA provided me with technical knowledge of business issues but its practical approach has helped me immensely. The diversity in the MBA class also gave me experience in working and collaborating with professionally diverse teams.

AIOU MBA program seemed to be the best way of acquiring the “how to” of management hypothesis and application. I have learnt a tremendous amount in the short time and feel it is the best investment I could have made for my future professional career.

Out of the many options for working towards MBA degree, I choose COL MBA for the promise of its high standards. The course content, the structure of tutorials, the quality of teaching staff, the rigorous assignments and the international recognition by virtue of Commonwealth oversight, make COL MBA an intellectually enriching experience. I value my association with Allama Iqbal Open University immensely.

Commonwealth MBA Programme for Executives exceeded my expectations. The curriculum and the professors are excellent. In addition, the university put together an extremely talented gro-up of students with diverse backgro-unds, while made classroom discuss-ion a stimulating and educational exp-erience.

Commonwealth MBA is a first-class business programme, and the faculty is outstanding. The programme was real-ly geared to meet the needs and challe-nges of a mid-level executive. The co-hort system was also a great way to fa-cilitate group projects and develop strong relationships with the others in my team.

The Commonwealth MBA/MPA program of AIOU is designed to facilitate those professionals who are already holding executive positions to enhance and update their professional skills as well as to develop and improve their management techniques through flexible study schedule.

I am a COL- MBA grad from 2009. This was the second school I attended, including my Bachelor’s Degree, and I have to say, I was very impressed. The program was challenging, like other schools, but I spent more time in pure study, paper writing, preparing for tests, and class assignments than other schools. Due to unique nature of my job as a marketer I need to travel locally and internationally so, face to face study will not be suitable for me here AIOU has solved the delinquent with online class web based portal.

It has been nine years since I graduated, and I have found my degree at the COL-MBA with AIOU invaluable to my career. It has opened doors of my career success with improved qualification. My teachers were impressive high quality professionals, who work in the field they teach. Especially, our Marketing subject teacher and my research advisor Mr. Ahmed Imran Hingra (Ph.D. Scholar)

The overall course design of commonwealth of learning MBA is of international standards and the way of course dissemination is as per student academic load and online system makes it easy to access. I found positive change in my professional approaches and developed business strategic thinking after completing my degree with COL-MBA. I strongly recommend the professional students to attend this course.
