Hello!!
I am interested in a Master in Marketing.
I have an offer letter from Aston - Bradford - Loughbrough - Southampton and Exeter.
I know that both Aston & Bradford have the triple accreditation of AACSB, EQUIS, and AMBΑ and both are in the QS world business schools ranking.
Exeter has a very intersting programme and was the uni of the year but not a so good reputation as the other two..
About the other 3 unis..there are in some rankings..
Could anyone help me seriously please with any advice or comment about any of these Universitites...???
I am interested in general reputation and career service or employability!
Any comment about these business schools will be helpful..!
Please help me choose...!!
Thankxxx!!

Focus on the course and the business school rather than the university as a whole. Take a look at http://www.best-masters.com/ranking-master-marketing-in-western-europe.html which is a very strong ranking. Aston is the only marketing MSc in the top 50 (which is on your list).

Thank you for your answer!
I checked the link that you suggest.
But if you look the QS world business school ranking both Aston & Bradford are in the list among 200 universities worldwide and eduniversal ranking descibes them as excellent unis.
All the six have good ranking in some lists and thats why I find it so difficult to choose!
Any other comment pls...??

Focus on the course and the business school rather than the university as a whole. Aston and Bradford are good universities, and for MSc programmes both programmes have good international mobility and are on par for value.
In many factors, however, Aston has outperformed Bradford substantially. It gets higher salary, a much better careers rating, a higher percentage for 'aims achieved'. Birmingham has many more jobs than Bradford.

I do agree that Aston has over all better reputation than Bradford as a University, but I dont think there is a remarkable difference between Aston and Bradford. Infact I personally feel Bradford has a strong edge in terms of diversity of modules as compared to Aston.
Aston students are subjected to higher salary not because of Aston, but because of its location, as Birmingham is almost 50% more expensive than Bradford to live in.
Considering the current situation its difficult to say that Aston can fetch you with a good job with better salary and Bradford can not or vice-versa.
I personally think both B-Schools have almost same reputation, but it terms of Cost and ROI, Bradford would be a better option.

Birmingham is 23% more expensive than Bradford (http://www.numbeo.com/cost-of-living/compare_cities.jsp?country1=United+Kingdom&country2=United+Kingdom&city1=Bradford&city2=Birmingham) however higher wages mean that loca purchasing power is 50% higher. I'd choose Birmingham.

Main Campus is in City Centre, however School of Management is around 2 miles away from City Centre.
If you want to travel then City centre would be better, but if you dont want to travel daily then near school of Management would be better
