@JasneetSat Jun 13, 2009 04:43 AM As you don't have an offer from LUBS, so I wud suggest you to go for NUBS(Nottingham). It is a v. good business school and well reputed in UK... It is AMBA accredited as well... Also, it is Ranked in FT TOP 100 Global MBA and EIU(Economist Intelligence Unit) and among TOP 10 Business Schools in UK IN RAE(Research Assessment Exercise) 2008... I suggest you to go through - RAE 2008 Ratings + TQA + The times publication UK + FT Rankings + EIU.... All the BEST!!! Thanks !!! |

Hi IndreshFri Jun 19, 2009 10:04 AM Nice to hear from you. Well I have applied in near about 10 Business Schools in UK (Lancaster, Bath, Bradford, strathclyde, Nottingham, Brunel, Durham, Leeds, Aston, Edinburgh). However my application has been rejected from Lancaster and Durham and Waiting for the Interview from Bradford. Still waiting for the reply from rest of the Universities. As far as Placement is concerned, I am trying to track as much information as possible, However I have followed Financial Times official Website. Hey can u please let me know your contact details. My e-mail ID is ksrivast@gmail.com. |

Dear Friends,Thu Jul 02, 2009 06:40 PM I also got offers from Leeds and Nottingham for September 2009 full time MBA programme. As the investment is big, 20 lakhs plus so I discussed with friends about career and job prospects. They say it's not very good. These universities do not provide placements. We have to search jobs in fairs. I tried to find placement statistics of UK B schools, but did not succeed. The quality of education is really good but I am worried about the return on investment. Suppose we have to return India after MBA, then how to repay the loans of 20 lakhs. The EMI will be quite large sum. Most of the students return to India after MBA. Friends, what do you feel about the post MBA prospects and return on investment. Please guide and show some light. Warm regards |

Dear HK,Sat Jul 04, 2009 11:03 AM These universities have placement cells but no. of placements provided is very less.I confirmed this with previous years students at Nottingham Most probably we have to search job ourselves.Leeds is better than Nottingham in almost all respects. I agree with you that ROI is important factor but only some top UK B schools provide good placements. As far as placements stat is concerned you can get those only by directly contacting university. U take a rough idea at ft.com |

Thanks Dear for honest views. Wed Jul 15, 2009 07:05 PM Did you decide about the university. Please share. Kindly provide more invaluable inputs. My primary concern is big money investment, ROI, leave from job for one year, and return to India for job hunting. Please share your point of view. Kind Regards |

I just got a offer from nottingham... ittle aprehensive about accepting it as u say its huge investment.College is good but i know so many from last batch who are still looking for work.UK colleges do have employment cells but its not like campus placements in US or India.so ur kinda on ur own really.People do return to india and do get good payed jobs there but the loan amount little difficult to be payed off on indian salaries. Nottingham city is beautiful but we must not forget gun crimes there. Mon Jul 20, 2009 01:04 PM Thing is college does have a good reputation among local market here.Like aston and bradford isnt really recoginsed by people .but nottingham they do recognise the name. Also to keep in mind is time taken to get job after uni.u need to keep that expenditure in mind.UK cost of living is really high.with bad market temporary student jobs are not so readily available. well these are my concerns so am thinking aloud. And also for future jobs its high likely to be based on ur current field.if ur looking for a change then im not sure . |

Dear,Fri Jul 24, 2009 09:10 AM Thank you very much for honest views. We appreciate your great research and analysis. Did you decide any school? We are all concerned about the return. After all, we do not want to go for one year expensive outing with uncertain future. The money spent will be around 20-25 lakhs for single person. Can any body give insights about the return and post MBA jobs? We feel that UK scene is not very good. We have to return to India. If we have to go back to same jobs in India after MBA, of course with international MBA exposure, then how to pay back the heavy loans. We feel that it will be big risk to put all our savings for one year MBA without assessing the prospects. Please put your views. Regards |

Hello,Sat Jul 25, 2009 01:45 AM I have Durham and Nottingham, Exeter, Glasgow and Leicester offers and the research I have done hass confused me more than it answered questions. Durham MBA Pro Durham is now triple accredited and Times 2010 ranking gives 8th place, Guardian 2010 gives it 14th place, FT 2009 places it at 80th but this was before they were triple accredited so I am assuming Durham is going to jump the rankings in FT next year like Stratclyde jumped after it received triple accredition, they have companies like KPMG, Accenture, Barclays, LLoyds, BP recruiting MBA's. Oldest going by the history after Oxford and Cambridge. Against arguments They haven't consistently made the top lists for last 5 years, university is not campus based like Nottingham, Durham is a small city compared to Nottingham and London. Based on the tidbits on the blogs, I could find I think MBA is not paid as much attention by the university as compared to say Nottingham MBA, I welcome criticism on this point. Nottingham -------------- MBA has consistently made the top list, research is better than Durham, Has broader ranking coverage by beyondgreypinestripe and rae. Better campus and thought out MBA program. Better local internships/jobs as city is bigger than Durham. Cons ------ Has slid in rankings lately, apart from coprporate social responsibility, no leading programs. Durham scores over it in most of the forums. High number of asian students who are considered a liability than asset(general feeling in the west) to a business school. These are my inferences from my own research and would love to know other viewpoints. Good MBA hunt to fellow aspirants. Go 2009 MBA! youngbull |

hi friends,Sun Aug 02, 2009 04:34 PM this is tushar , here . I am mechanical engineer from pune with 4 years experience I have a unconditional offer from nottingham , conditional from strathclyde ( gmat 620+ mine is 580), uncondi from royal holloway and a few unis more but really in the league of say warwick or lancaster. I have decided to finalise on nottingham. Is there any post here for people accepted at nottingham , we could just share info on travel plans , accomodation or hostel applications and stuff like that.I am running pretty late on the process so any help /guidance on these issues would be GR8.

I know MBA Durham quite well, how on earth do they accept people with merely a couple of years of experience is beyond me. Few students ( Chinese if you dont mind me saying ) dont command their English as as MBA student. I suspect maybe they cheat in the IELTS exam. Sun Aug 02, 2009 10:37 PM Also, they are not third oldest University in the UK, but in England only, if you expand to UK. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Third_oldest_university_in_E… Read this and they also debates that Durham is not third oldest in England, if you look at when it was founded, it is not very old. The ranking is better than Nottingham though but the City is tiny. recently their Dean committed plagiarism and was expelled. This is a disgrace for Durham. |

Hi,Mon Aug 03, 2009 12:55 AM Getting MBA students with bad English is equally true for Nottingham. For that matter I assume all the schools who recruit from non English speaking countries with optional IELTS and GMAT run the risk of having that problem. I am not worried about that, my worry is if I compare the 2 which one should I choose. I don't think couple of places in the ranking matter much as long as they are in top 100. I am strongly inclined to join Nottingham as I know the professor of marketing who has a phd from Oxford and is an exceptional generalist. What do you think about Durham/Nottingham MBA program and placements. Sanjay [Edited by sunjayt on 03 Aug 2009] |
