MBA Discussion Board

thanks a lot Nes, for your words and sharing your indepth insights.
somehow i feel bath is also a very reputed and good MBA program...although not triple accredited. I have seen it is ahead of all of the rest in economist rankings and gives very good salaries and growth....would it be good to consider joining BATH...??...what is your opinion in terms of salary, location and global recognition for BATH MBA ??

Hi Friends,

I got a conditional offer from Nottingham University Business School..
However i am in a kind of dilemma, whether shall i for this School..
Since Investment would be around 20Lacs (INR) and my major concern is for Return on Investment.
So can anyone have any idea about campus placements and list of companies recruit students from this business school. Moreover what is the lowest salary package and placement percentage specially for this 2009 passing out batch.

Guys ur valuable suggestion is requested.

Thanks,
Kshitij Srivastava

I am under a severe University selection crisis...... Which is the best of them in terms of Recognition, quality, Job Prospects.......

hey well no not yet but kinda more inclined towards manchester but then again i need to choose between general mba & mba for financial managers. so dnt know where to go .

on one side this specific mba for accountants will push me through for a top job even with my current employer but then i will be loosing on some electives specially like enterpreneurship etc which i badly want incase i ever want to start something of my own.

Hi,

Degrees from Nottingham Uni and Sheffield are highly regarded in the UK as they are Russell Group Universities. Also both are THES top 100 uni's so that would enhance your international opportunities due to brand awareness. The problem with Sheffield, although it is excellent in areas such as engineering, in terms of business education it doesnt really ring a bell, and the city, not very nice. On the other hand, Nottingham's B'school does have a name in business education and is a common destination and good choice for MBA programmes. Also the Uni and city are quite nice. Then Bradford, I really dont like repeating myself, but you can read my other posts about it (by all means, I would leave that option out). So in your case i would choose Nottingham.
But i have the folowing question, did you look or apply to schools such as Leeds, Birmingham or Durham? because these I believe are in a similar category (slightly better) as Nottingham and not only are world class universities, but their bschools are also very well known and regarded in Europe. If you haven't, think about it, because if you are good, almost any MBA programme will fit you in, even if the application dates are already due.
I hope this is useful.

Hey,

Thank you so much for ur inputs.

I have first class allthrough, but since i am applying so late, most of universities have put me in waiting list. thay have said by sep 1st week they will confirm and if they don't get back i must assume there is no place...this is what with Strathclyde, Aston, Edinburg...etc... b ut Birmingham did not get back to me yet... Durham was full by the time i tried..so finally I am with these 3 options only..

Considering all this i can't wait further....but i found the course for Nottingham very nice and efective ..even for Bradford the same..whether it is HR or Finance specialization...but I heard that Bradford place is not that same religious wise..for hindus...dunno just heart (no offence)..do anyone have any idea abt that??

Hi,
Nottingham is the one I would recommend. I searched through a lot of forums and talked to a lot of people and none of them mentioned anything negative about that MBA programme, compared to the other 2 universities of your list. Furthermore I have learned that (same like me) this decision is nothing you can make a real mistake for your further career, because all your MBA programmes playing in the same league (its not like LBS vs Birmingham).

Just focus on a few categories (high level), which seems to be important for you and then let your gut instinct do the rest.

I allready made my decision and it seems to be a good one. To know if it was right right, I will see it in a few years.

Maybe helpful,

best wishes
