Hello Experts.
Warm X'mas and New Year Greetings !!!
I need expert advice to choose between Cranfield School of Management and Durham Business School for full time MBA course commencing from Sep 2022. I have got offer from both the colleges (and expecting an interview call from Alliance Manchester Business School)
I have 12 years of managerial work experience in a public sector bank and a software firm, {mainly in operations} in India. And l want to secure an operations or project management role in a finance/ consultancy/ fintech firm.
I would like to work in UK for some years after my MBA, to gain valuable experience. So I am confused between the 2 colleges. As per FT and Economist rankings Durham is better than Cranfield, fees and living expense at Durham is also lesser than at Cranfield.
But I am not sure about the international recognition and appeal each of these colleges have. And about the higher chances of getting a desired employment after MBA. Also, is there a disadvantage being at an isolated place at Durham compare to being at Cranfield close to big towns ( in terms of employment chances)
Eagerly waiting for a reply.
Thanks and Regards
Shaan
