Top 5 AFFORDABLE Online MBAs in the UK UNDER £25,000!

CORRECTION: I mistakenly listed Durham University online MBA as £13,000; that figure is actually for one year, so in a standard 2-year format, the program total should be closer to £26,000.
With online MBAs (and online education in general), the amazing thing about it is that you don't have to live in the same place as the university offering the program.
So as you're searching for online MBA programs, you can really expand your search globally.
The UK has a number of great universities, and in this video, I'll share with you the 5 best affordable online MBA programs in the UK, plus a BONUS university that I'll mention at the end of the video.

[@ravenhector1653]

Hello Richard, nice video, I would like to know your opinion about University of the People (UoPeople). They also offer online MBA as well some other degrees ,so is the university accredited and other information if any

[@RichardWalls]

@@ravenhector1653 Hi Raven - thanks for the comment! I have heard of that, but not something I'd recommend unless money is a barrier to other programs. Not much of a reputation or brand, so don't know that it would do much for your career opportunities. It would still be very much dependent on you and prior work experience to pursue new opportunities.

[@ravenhector1653]

@@RichardWalls Thank you for the valuable information

I am just a bit surprised University of Liverpool is not part of your list. Their tuition fee is 21K GBP. Any reason?

I really want to know what is your opinion of London School of Business & Finance (LSBF) online MBA,,, is it a good school? the program is only 9000 !!

No problem!

Thanks Rheyan! I'll put that on the list!

[@suzpeden]

The Open University in the UK is ranked #31 in world rankings is triple accredited and the cost is on par with the universities you mention in the video. I'm considering it right now.

[@RichardWalls]

Interesting - hadn't actually heard of that university, but thanks for sharing! Looking into that now.

[@rashmireddykandadi3710]

Hey Richard! Found your work really helpfully and worth the time. I just wanted to know whether the rankings are with respect to online programs or their usual offline programs

[@muhammadsyahmi240]

Hi thanks for this. I watched your video on your choice for iMBA at Illinois at Urbana Champaign and im glad you did one for the UK, I think its pretty insightful. Just something I thought id share is that a couple of online/global MBAs in some of the top schools in the UK would require a few on-campus sessions. For those without a scholarship (earning average salary at managerial level here in southeast asia), that would be quite a challenge. The on-campus session is great, dont get me wrong, but one might need to be wary of the extra costs. Im not sure about the uni you listed. Anyway, great stuff, subscribed!

[@RichardWalls]

Hi Muhammad - thank you for the comment! And thanks for mentioning that - yes, there are some programs that may require on-campus sessions 1-2x per semester or year. Really depends on the program, so would advise everyone do their research on the programs they're most interested in.

[@hazem3240]

Hi Richard, great content indeed. What about MBA of Brooklyn Institute ?

[@ruvahngovender6408]

Great info mate - subscribed. Was wondering what you think of Quantic MBA - seeing more colleagues and people taking it up, but I'm not convinced. Any opinion would be appreciated? Maybe even a video on it!

[@RichardWalls]

Hi Ruvahn - thanks for the comment and sub! Plan to do a video on Quantic, but what I've gathered is that its fine if its free, but I wouldn't expect it to open many doors. Good concept, but don't think it has the brand recognition yet.

[@ruvahngovender6408]

Thank you for your very informative Videos. What are your thoughts on University of London's Global MBA?

[@RichardWalls]

Thanks! Doesn't appear to carry the common accreditations found at other business schools, like AMBA or AACSB. Would opt for ones that do, especially since there are a good handful of affordable options already.

[@pairhunt9457]

@Richard Walls - Please could you let me know more about University of York ?

[@Q974]

Just to clear few things the University of Aberdeen doesn't have AACSB or AMBA accreditation they just have CMI ! Durham university fees are £15,000 per year which means 2 years are 30,000 total an not 13,000 as you mentioned !

[@emmanuelokoro5476]

Quite insightful video.. how about MBA online from University of Hull, UK a good deal for a finance professional? it is AMBA and AACSB accredited with affordable fees.

[@rebecca5473]

Thanks for this listing. Started looking at your vids and they have been quite informative. I was looking at the Heriot Watt University, Edinburgh Business School Online MBA. Did you come across this and if you did, what are your thoughts?

[@RichardWalls]

Hi Rebecca, Glad the videos help! Heriot Watt appears to be a good option - surprised that didn't come up in my research, but price point is excellent and ranking is in the range of the ones I list in this video. Could've made the list, but only issue I see is that it doesn't appear to have any of the accreditations I mentioned. Not a deal breaker, but if you can afford some of the other options, I'd likely opt for that.

[@rebecca5473]

@@RichardWalls I was looking to see if I could have found the HW-EBS accreditations but couldn't, thanks for clarifying that too. Actually sent in my HW application not even 24hrs ago, but will certainly look at the options you've listed before I make final payments. Much thanks again and best of success to you.

Hi - that's a good university and good program. Well ranked, and triple accredited, so it would belong on this list. I must've overlooked it! May have to revise this list in the future. 😄

[@bananyrepublic5563]

I think the tuitions you mentioned are per year, not for the full program

Hi Richard, very nice video, i found out that there is one gem online MBA programe for developing country stundent like me, which is Global MBA from University of london conducting by Queen Mary Uni, it has special rate for developing country international stundent which is only 11K pounds. its regular cost for developed country student is around 16-17K, which is still quite affordable. Do you have any thought about it? thanks for the video, i really like your content.

Hi Reza - I'd say it sounds like a great option at a great school. I'd take advantage of that deal! Best of luck!

[@dapar8402]

What about the online MBA from the University of Liverpool? Their MBA is in the same price range of the universities you reviewed. Please do a review of their MBA, if you can.

Hi Richard what is the reason why online MBAs are cheaper than normal MBAs?

Hi Deranda - depends on the school, as some online MBAs are about as expensive as full-time on campus MBAs. But generally speaking, you don't have the same costs associated with having a physical presence.

Hi - I've not seen any universities provide placement and work visa. That all depends on the company that you'd work for after your MBA program. Universities, can, however, provide student visas.
