First, a bit about myself:
ACMA Qualified 97, 26 years UK working exp with14 years as Finance Manager, have managed up to 8 staff, employed with current US multinational company based in Surrey for 6years, been involved in series of financial and change management of entities and projects, In my 40s with family. Need a change, a challenge, a new employment and a future outlook by going into consulting, corporate strategies and business transformation in an international business with special emphasis on merger and acquisition.

My initial preference was Bath Uni because of their ranking in the Economists,renowned to be one of the best universities for management and business courses, tuition fees is reasonable at £23k as this will be self funded, modules and timescales of 70 days in 2 years is achievable with course commencing in October 2012.

Replies on several related topics on this forum has made me more confused. i am now leaning towards Ashridge £33k which is located near my home. Cranfield was also considered but course starts in Jan. 2013.

Constraints are: Fund - Max £33k, Time - start in 2012 and complete in 2014 and Duration - 2 years.

Please help me with your objective advise or critique of the selected B-Schools including your personal experience as I would like to submit my application by Monday 9th July. Thanks
