Hello,

I would like to seek guidance which is a better option Bradford or Strathclyde if I am going for a part time EMBA program.

I am a senior medical representative and I have been working in sales and marketing field for 8 years and I am looking forward to take a next step in my career as a sales manager so I am looking to develop my managing skills and go deeper into managing business.

My budget is around 28k USD that’s why I am considering the 2 options as well as both are well recognized and triple accredited.

The main difference now that I can highlight is that Bradford is offering the whole course on campus accepting only 12 to 13 candidates per enrollment but Strathclyde is offering most of the course online because of the restrictions after COVID. To add, the electives in Bradford have edge also over Strathclyde .

Fees for Bradford (24.5k USD) vs Strathclyde (33k USD)

If anyone can help me to make a decision between these 2 options and I would like to know more options within the same budget.

Which school has the best MBA alumni network in your target market? 

PS I assume you are in the UAE but If you were in the north of Britain then the Lancaster EMBA and Manchester GMBA should be on your list.

Hi Duncan,

Yes I am located in the UAE and for the network alumni , it's almost the same but in your opinion in terms of quality of education and reputation which one you will go for Bradford or Strathclyde

I suggest you use LinkedIn to compare their networks in the industries and companies you are targeting. I have a post linked from my profile page about how to do that.
