London Business School and INSEAD are very strong programs with worldwide recognition.

I am sorry but I am not familiar with the other programs you listed. Perhaps you can find the information you need (rankings, required work experience, specialties, etc.) on the individual school websites.

Hi Tishan,

It is not the number of years of work experience but the quality of work ex that matters to the admissions committee. I am enrolled at London Business School and at the time of admission had less than four years of work experience. Also, note that as per the class profile available on the school's site, the range of WE is 2-18. So you're within the range and with a quality application can very much make it through.

Best,
Trump

Hi Tishan,


Doing a MBA from UK will involve a lot of investment so you should be aiming for the top business schools.

The top schools in UK would be

1.) LBS
2.) In no particular order Warwick, Said, Judge, Cranfield, Manchester and probably Lancaster. (There isnt much to rank between these schools as all of them are equally good)

I would suggest you to go ahead and apply to atleast some of these schools. Three years of quality work experience would definitely make you a strong contender in most of these schools.

From the list provided by you, Strathclyde and Leeds are known to have a decent program.

when schools and candidates specify the amount of workex, do they mean the number of years completed at the time of application or at the time of joining school?

I think most schools look at your experience till the application date. Anyway it is always good to send an email to the admissions officer of your school of interest to be sure.
