This is one of the world's great, ancient universities and one of the most impactful centres for business research. Obviously the faculty is very strong.

Dear Duncan,

which one should i opt for cranfield MBA, durham MBA , Loughboro MBA, Edinburgh ? also what are the main aspects to look at before choosing a school for an MBA full time?

I would look at the Financial Times Global MBA ranking and then decide which one is the best for your goals.

Of these programs only Durham (62) and Edinburgh (95) are currently ranked by the FT.

This tier of UK programs is falling in the rankings fast though so I wouldn't put all your stock in this. Cranfield was in the ranking last year but dropped out this year. Durham dropped around 20 places.

I suppose it might depend on what your goals are. The Loughborough program is popular among international students because it allows for some hands-on experiential components.

In general the aspects you are looking for would depend on your goals. Why do you want to do an MBA? What do you hope to achieve with it?

I have met Dr. Christoper Williams, Durham MBA consultancy pathway leader. He is very good. The below link tells more.

You can go to https://www.dur.ac.uk/research/directory/view/?mode=department&id=2 and checkout "Faculty, Durham University Business School, Mill Hill Lane, Durham DH1 3LB" section for more.

I have done the same for entrepreneurship faculties and felt happy.

Moreover, the below magazine says more. I have read all 7 issues of the magazine specific to entrepreneurship. You can do the same but specific to consultancy.
