Hi All,
2 issues I would like to get opinions on:
1. I've received an offer from the CASS MBA. Still waiting on a response from EDHEC. Both schools are triple acredited and they are are also partners of the CFA programme (albeit the Msc Finance programmes), however I see this as an indicator that both are serious school when it comes to Finance related education.
While CASS has a higher ranking, the cost of the EDHEC MBA is a definite attraction, and with a GMAT of 640 it seems I qualify for a huge discount off tuition fees.
Just wanted to gather some opinions regarding the two MBA courses / schools.
2. On a separate note, I have 6 years of working experience - 2 years in engineering and 4 years in banking operations. I hope to remain in finance after graduation. I initialy thought of the MSc in finance since my undergrad degree is in engineering but the number of years of experience seem to place me in MBA region.
Again, your thoughts and opinions on this would be appreciated.
Thanks all!
About me: Asian, Degree in Engineering but currently working in banking operations. Would like to work in Europe after graduation if possible but will return to Asia if that does not happen.

EDHEC is equally good as CASS in finance given that you want to stay in the respective host country but in order to work in France you have to speak decent French plus it is harder to get a workpermit there.
Personally CASS rules all the way

I know the location is not ideal, but what is your opinion on the MBA course itself?
Thanks!

The course itself is similar to every other AMBA accredited MBA. Why not go to Budapest if the location does not matter?
