Research MBA Programs

Hello All,

I am looking forward to pursue a full-time MBA program in UK. I have received an offer from University of Bath- School of Management. I have been checking the FT and Economist Rankings for the school and it hasn't been consistent. Can somebody please provide reviews of this uni. ALso, could you suggest any other universities I could consider. Thank you.

Bath is typical 2nd tier MBA school in UK. When I said 2nd tier, I meant schools after LBS, Oxbridge, Cranfield, Manchester and Warwick.

I personally believe that the quality of education of even 2nd tier UK schools are far better than many ranked schools in other places. I had considered Lancaster and Bath as my back up and luckily I need not activate that.

In terms of value for money, these 2nd tier schools are probably the best in the whole world.

The big catch is, UK has a very limited jobs for international students. Even the tier 1 schools having hard time to place their student and the situation is just worse for 2nd tier.

If job is not your objective then there is absolutely no second thought about Lancaster, Bath, Edinburgh, Glasgow. If job is what you are looking at, then there is a huge risk UNLESS economy recovers dramatically in 2014. Having said that, even tier 1 schools have the same issue, the only difference is, some accepts and some still paints a rosy pictures.

I too have got a Bath offer. Just accepted the same. But kinda rethinking whether to pursue the program or not, given the current job scenario and all. Can anyone shed some light on the post-MBA prospects, the internship possibilities and job scene at Canada/Australia/Singapore/Any other EU states post Bath MBA (post any other tier-2 UK MBAs for that matter)?

An MBA from Bath will not make you attractive outside the UK if just the reputation of the program is taken into consideration. Your previous profile, which i am unaware of, + a globally ranked MBA degree may make you attractive but the chances of it happening are very bleak. Finding a job in the UK is very difficult these days and since not many would know of Bath in Australia or Asia, i would advice you get an MBA degree from a good Business School in your own country.
