Hiya,Sun Nov 15, 2009 11:15 PM I am looking into an MBA in the UK as I live in the UK. My course criteria is full time, 1 year, strong experience in marketing, with a course approach that it practical as well as academic. Which ones in the UK are the best from the ones above. From what I have experienced, they tend to be finance/consultancy focused and very academic. I want to get a good balance between top tier school and suitability to my criteria. I have not included Said nor Oxford, if I should I would appreciate that info also. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks P |

Tue Nov 17, 2009 12:59 AM Choose Cranfield, if you like Marketing 100% true... As far as marketing is concerned I would say, Cranfield=Warwick > Cass >>> Aston Both Warwick and Cranfield has got excellent faculty in marketing..the average age of the cranfield MSc-Strategic Marketing cohort is 31 years while in Warwick MSc Marketing in Strategy cohort its 24.5 years. I dont know about Cranfield faculty, but the main lecturer in the Warwick MSc Marketing is Dr Colin Egan (Coca-Cola Chair in Marketing) and Dr Nigel Piercy (visiting faculty from Columbia Business School); both of them also teaches in Warwick MBA and Warwick MIM (MSc Management). Along with very good profile + SOP you need:-- - to say really smart things at the telephonic interview for Cranfield programme...mine lasted for full 40 mins; not Toefl cut-off - to have a min. 115 out of 120 in TOEFL iBT for Warwick programme; no interview. [* Toefl is only for international students] ATB _Nes --- |
