Hi all,
I've been struggling to find universities or business schools which offer a one year MBA course in Europe or Canada. Any suggestions for good unis or schools? Cheers!

By definition, MBA programs require you to have work experience. Master in Management programs, on the other hand, usually don't require work experience. If I were looking for a pre-experience MIM program, I would most certainly limit my options to the FT's Master of Management ranking. So as for programs in Canada, UBC Sauder has the only ranked one in the country, but in Europe you have so many options: HEC Paris, Esade, MSM, Neoma, Tias, etc, etc. etc.

Hi Ralph, I am also looking for a masters in management program in Europe, given that I have just finished my undergraduate degree and have no real work experience. Of the schools you mentioned, including HEC Paris, Esade, MSM, and the others, which is the best if I would like to work in Europe after graduation? I am open to other suggestions too. Thanks!

The Financial Times' MIM ranking can be sorted in terms of "international mobility," which gives a good indication of the success rates of students who transitioned countries.

St. Gallen is ranked the best in this regard. MSM is second and ESADE is third.

I would imagine that it also depends on language skills. Most of the schools ranked there are not in countries where English is the primary language. This could be an issue.

So I would have to speak German if I did the MIM at St. Gallen and wanted to work in Switzerland after I graduate? Is it possible to find work in England if I did the St. Gallen program?

Well certainly the St Gallen program will offer you international mobility so you can work anywhere after completing your degree. As far as proficiency in German is concerned, yes they do expect that you have cleared A1 level of German so that you can communicate with the locals & acclimatize to the German environment.
