School search in Europe for MBA Fulltime 1 yr program
Wed Aug 23, 2006 01:43 PM
I am sorry for being unclear and i am interested only in FULL TIME one year MBA Program especially in Marketing or Marketing Research Analysis and Management.- medium of instruction should be in English.

Please note that i am keen only in Europe excluding UK and Ireland.

I cannot afford much fee and wishes to pursue from some REPUTED business schools which offer MBA Programs at cheaper cost. Whether financial aid would be possible in these institutes based on GMAT,RESUME,LETTERS OF RECOMMENDATION,ACADEMIC RECORDS OF THE STUDENT, WORK EXPERIENCE etc.,, Whether these institutes has placement assistance for international students after sucessful completion of MBA Program

There are so many MBA programs in Europe that it is quite difficult to answer this question. Can you give some more information about which countrys and subjects you are looking at?

Generally your GMAT score of 650 will be good enough for most MBA programs in Europe. EDHEC for instance looks at GMAT scores above 550, the average in the class is above 620 (www.theseus.edu/84104173/1/fiche___pagelibre/). In Europe, only INSEAD has average GMAT scores over 700, see www.finfacts.com/irelandbusinessnews/publish/artic…

I fully agree with the list of top European schools provided by disconnect8teen. To add some more countries I would also mention BI (Oslo), HSE (Helsinki), Trinity (Dublin) and ESMT (Berlin). The ESMT program ist quite new, so you will not find it in most rankings. Here is a list of European programs ranked by the Economist: mba.eiu.com/index.asp?layout=2002rankings&rank_cat…

London Business School is the best bet in Europe. Then I would place IMD, INSEAD & OXFORD in the same bracket. Though Oxford MBA is new(2001) but the University has so much potential and the MBA course structure so very challenging that in the coming few years(5-10) Oxford MBA will be placed at par with London Business School. Cambridge MBA too is very new started in 2002 so this program will also feature among the top B-schools in the world in a short span. Then Spanish Schools are building ground like anything such as IESE, IE de impressa & Esade to name a few. Then,...HEC Paris , Edinburgh, Rotterdam school of Mgmt, Manchester, Ashridge, Cranfield, Imperial & Trinity will I place under the same belt. Not much difference in these B-schools.

Hi Aravishyam,

I share my experience, because i was also looking at the famous schools and I have discovered there are aslo some others which are still accredited, offer excelent MBA in English, but are much cheaper. Of course this suggestion does not apply if your purchasing power is high, otherwise i would also add to the list EADA in barcelona, where I of course probably going to do MBA, so I do am subjective. Which is cheaper than average, accredited EQUIS and AMBA, international..and not least in barcelona.

Regards

hello, i think LBS can't be of your choice, as it's a two-year program, and it's in the UK. i think rotterdam, maastricht, nyenrode (Netherland) esade, eade, ie and iese (spain), vlerick leuven (belgium), audencia in nantes, grenoble, HEC paris, theseus, ESCP-EAP (all france) are schools with good accreditarions and cheaper than say LBS. probably they have scholarships.
for spain, has anyone heard of universidad Carlos III in Mardid? it has equis accreditation. thanks

Many of the schools listed above may fall outside of your stated criteria: a one year MBA in continental europe. If you are attracted to Spain you may consider BMI in Barcelona.

Full Disclosure: I am participating in the FIND MBA board as an excercise to provide an illustration for a segment I am teaching of the course "What the CEO wants you to know" at BMI www.barcelonami.org One of the readings for the segment is www.wired.com/wired/archive/15.04/wired40_ceo.html…… Click on Post MBA for more biographical info.

I have additional queries similar to the original post. I'm Indian, 35+, 11+ quality Exp. has following queries re. ACCREDITED MBAs in Europe (- UK & Ireland) ONLY for FULL TIME 01 Yr. MBA.
1. Which schools don't charge Application Fee?
2. Why is Audencia (Old + Triple Accredited) MBA so low profile? Does it attract enough recruiters?
3. Are ACCREDITED schools considered better than Indian IIMs & ISB which are non accredited but extremely valuable in India?
4. Does any firm/agency offer sponsorship to a candidate based on his admission to any such program, his overall profile etc. on the promise of his joining the firm after the program?
5. What is the recruitment potential of Accredited French MBA graduates (say Indian) willing to work in Asia/India particularly compared to recruiting in IIM/ISB (PGPX)?
6. Is European program at all relevant for an Indian willing to come back and work in Asia/India (may be for an European MNC)?
7. Finally any comment on MBA producing factories of UK?

Hi,

In Europe, these are my personal choices, in no particular order:

1. Ashridge Business School - A lot of executive connections, triple-accredited
2. INSEAD - One of the hottest schools for taking an MBA. The Harvard of Europe. Can easily whoop the ass of Oxford and Cambridge MBAs.
3. Strathclyde Business School - In Scotland. More of a practical choice for me. Triple-accredited, though. Interesting curriculum.

Those are my only choices in Europe. The others, never mind! Although if you're really set to go to Europe for an MBA, take a look at these schools too:
1. Warwick Business School
2. University of Cambridge (Judge Business School)
3. Instituto de Empresa

Well, this is just my opinion.. Good luck!

Hi,

The best choices in Germany are:

- Mannheim (triple accredited, highest ranked German school)
- WHU (very good EMBA, excellent company network)
- HHL (AACSB accredited)

Beware of ESMT (poor image and quality), Gisma (financial problems) and the "Fachhochschulen" (poor research quality and company networks).

In Europe:
- INSEAD
- IMD
- IESE
- IE Madrid

Best,
JL

Worth having a look at this, then: www.find-mba.com/article/279/mba-programs-in-germa…

JohnnyL: When you say the best schools in Europe, does that exclude the UK? The UK is in Europe, isn't it?
