The British schools which offer MSc degrees on this list are the best for students without work experience: rankings.ft.com/businessschoolrankings/masters-in-… The graduates from this MSc programmes, plus the new MM from London Business School, will greatly outperform graduates of "freshers MBAs".

In Europe the MBAs without work experience will be much worse, in every way, than the MSc degrees offered by business schools for pre-experience candidates. There are no respected or internationally-accredited MBAs in Europe for people without work experience. Take an MSc if you want to get a good job, earn a respected qualification of earn money. If you just want a low-quality MBA, then why come to Europe?

Hi Nazme,

There's more demand for MSc than for MBAs, but there's also more supply of MSc graduates. However, the market is also segmented. There's a short supply of graduates from business schools which are internationally respected, and they get higher salaries. Indeed, MSc graduates from respected schools get higher salaries than MBA graduates from schools without international accreditation.

If you look at Monday's financial times you'll see the top MSc in management programmes (rankings.ft.com/businessschoolrankings/masters-in-…). Their graduates work for multinational companies around the world. Attending one of those programmes will give you much better potential than an unaccredited MBA or MSc at one of Britains younger universities. Just compare the salaries!

PS I think that, for you, it would be worth looking at the top 12 MSc programmes for international mobility: Bocconi, EADE, ESADE, ESSEC, Grenoble, HEC Lausanne, HEC Paris, LSE, St. Gallen, Strathclyde and the CEMS consortium.

I think you've misunderstood the point I am making in this discussion. I think those pre-experience MBAs are a bad investment. I cannot recommend one to you.

Hi Nazme,

The best MSc programmes worldwide are the ones in the FT ranking, which I link to above.

On the Gulf, perhaps this thread will also help you:

Since topMBA does not rank MSc programmes, you'll have to use the FT ranking I linked to.

An MSc in management from a respected, accredited school is a pre-experience work degree, and the MBA (from a respected, accredited school) is for people with experience. I think you can research these schools yourself and come up with some more specific questions that are not so easily answered by reading their websites.

I don't understand what you're asking about rankings, but there's a good article here: www.find-mba.com/mba-rankings

Use the FT ranking. topmba.com does not publish a ranking of MSc programmes.
