'fraid I don't know too much about that, but maybe you'd be interested in this, which I found on here:Fri Oct 24, 2008 06:27 PM www.find-mba.com/article/282/london-business-schoo… LBS is very well respected (just have a look at the list of companies recent LBS graduates have gone on to work for), and from what it says on their website, this course might be perfect for you. |

If you don't have any experience then a Master's may be your only option. Of the two - HEC Paris and McMaster - HEC is easily the better regarded. So even though it may at first appear better to have an MBA, in this instance you might be better off with an HEC MSc. Assuming, that is, that you don't want to wait a couple of years, get some experience, and apply for an MBA then.

At your stage a Master in management makes a lot more sense and is the better option. Even though you can get admission in some US schools to do an MBA without worke experience at management level, the MBA is a degree you should consider after some year of work to fully benefit (that is actually the concept of an MBA).Mon Nov 10, 2008 06:40 PM In case you want to work in France, HEC has a great reputation and looks very good on your CV. I am sure a Master of management of that school will be a door opener to integrate a good first job. The other school you mention, Mcmaster... I don't think I have ever seen in in the rankings, nor heard of it elsewhere. I would go for this only if you are desperate to move to the US. Anyone else has heard of Mcmaster and can tell us about the quality of the MBA? [Edited by a_mukerjee on 10 Nov 2008] |
