What are your goals?

I am looking for a future as an strategic consultant.
Also one point which i want to know is how is the alumini support of these college outside UK. As after doing some research, i a can see that currently it is very difficult for a Non UK citizen to find a job in Uk after course completion. therefore a strong alumini support outside UK will be of great help.

I don't think there's a big difference between these schools. None of them have MBA programmes which are targetted by strategy firms, so their alumni in strategy firms will be mostly people with undergraduate degrees. I suggest you use LinkedIn to see which universities have the biggest alumni networks in the firms that interest you inside your target firms. Frankly, if you want to work in strategy consulting then probably Edinburgh is the best of these options, which they have a more senior cohort and higher salaries, but a better school would be very much better.
