Choosing the Right Postgraduate Program
MBA vs MSc: Which to Choose?
Choose MBA if:
- • Seeking general management roles
- • Want broad business knowledge
- • Aspiring to C-suite positions
- • Interested in entrepreneurship
Choose MSc if:
- • Seeking specialist technical roles
- • Want deep subject expertise
- • Aspiring to technical leadership
- • Interested in research/consultancy
Full MBA vs Postgraduate Diploma
Postgraduate Diplomas take 1 year vs 1.5-2 years for MBA, cost less (LKR 500K-700K vs 900K-1.2M), but offer less comprehensive coverage and lower salary impact. PG Diplomas are excellent for skill enhancement without full MBA commitment.
Regular MBA vs Executive MBA
Executive MBA is intensive (1 year vs 1.5-2), designed for senior professionals (5+ years experience), focuses on strategic leadership, and has higher peer experience level. Choose EMBA if you're already in management and want accelerated completion.
Specialist MSc Programs
MSc Computing for software/development careers, MSc Cyber Security for information security roles (highest salaries), MSc Data Analytics for analytics/AI careers. Choose based on your technical interest and target industry.
