Hello All,
Trust you all are fine.
I am a program manager with rich experience of 14 years in automobile & engineering industry. I am planning to pursue an MBA from Germany or UK.
Goal: - My post education objective is to rise in the corporate ladder - Director/ GM position in 5 to 7 years. I don't intend to change industry or function. But, to gain international experience and network, I would like work in different country for few years.
About me: - I am from India. I am PMP certified & have a Masters degree in Engineering. I am confident that, I will achieve GMAT 700+. Also, I started learning German language and by Sep-21, I plan to achieve B1 level.
Why Germany and UK? :- One year MBA, Attractive Post-MBA visa policies, Class cohort is slightly senior compared to the typical 2 year programs.
I want to change country so looking for a full time program and not executive or online course.
Could you please suggest suitable universities in Germany/ UK specifically considering my vast amount of experience.
Many Thanks in advance for your help.

I wonder if an MBA would be more useful than an MSc in some focussed, leading edge, area of concern to the auto industry.

Additionally, Warwick will have an excellent network with the engineering and car industry in the UK, especially in the Midlands where there is a concentration of such firms.

I don't think WMG is a strong option for a foreigner. A traditional MSc with careers support will be better. The WMG degrees involve eight or nine stackable modules, normally one week long, provided in different buildings on the main campus (Manufacturing, Materials, Digital etc), or in the Westwood campus. I don't think WMG has a careers team.

Also, half the credits on most of the WMG courses are based on a personal project. Obviously, this works really week for part-time students, but it feels a bit disjointed compared to a course where you have courses designed for one cohort, and where the students are in class together most weeks, and even most weekdays.

Following Duncan's suggestion, I wonder if Warwick University in the UK might be a good choice? As well as a highly regarded MBA they have an Advanced Manufacturing Group which has had a really good reputation for many years. This offers a variety of MSc degrees that combine business with engineering such as Engineering Business Management. They say "this course is designed for graduates who want to become managers or leaders of technology-based organisations. It is particularly suited to students with a technical background, who are looking to understand and develop management expertise."

They also offer specialist courses like an MSc in Smart, Connected and Autonomous Vehicles. I think there might also be an option to do something more modularised too so well worth enquiring with them.

The WMG electives are very suitable, I am sure, but what's the point of spending a year in the UK and then only 8 or 9 weeks in classes, and even then in different places and with people from different courses? It feels a bit lonely. 

Fair points above Duncan re: suitability of WMG for non-UK students and its structure. Shame though...
