Hello,
I have admits from Lancaster MSc Strategy and Skema MiM (Sophia Campus). Which will be the better Business school as I want to work 4-5 years in the same country where I will do my masters?
I want to pursue my career in Management Consulting such as Big4/MBB.
Thank you.

Do you speak french fluently?
Posted Mar 08, 2023 05:24
Thank you Andy for the response. Currently No but if its required then I will start learning but I don't think in 4 months I'll be that fluent in it.
Also, I have applied for Manchester, Emlyon, and Bayes Business School. Waiting for their response.
As 16th of March is the deadline for Skema to submit deposit. I'm in confuse state right now which one should I go for as well as should I wait for others response.
Really appreciate any help in this.
Thank you.

Then, I recommend to focus on the UK. Manchester, Lancaster or Bayes are good options. For me, Manchester has the best brand but then Bayes is in London....

There is more or less no chance that either of these schools will lead to MBB even if you speak French fluently.
Take a look at
Do you need to speak the local language? www.find-mba.com/board/34713
and https://find-mba.com/board/general-forum/best-msc-mim-degrees-for-international-students-placement-52915
Clarify your career goals: don't think just about where you want to work, but what role you can add the most value in. Why would someone high you over a candidate with local experience?
Take a look at the roles that international students (I assume you will be one) go into from the degrees you are applying to: See

Thank you so much for your valuable insights Andy and Duncan.
Yes I do understand getting Jobs in France with no command in French will be not an easy task. Therefore had a confusion of should I let go offer from Skema as they have the earliest deadline of 16th this month and wait for other schools response.
I have a 15 months of experience in Business management (Internship+full-time). I want to join as a Strategic Associate in consulting firms after my masters and yes the ultimate aim is in Big4/MBB.
Also there is very little information about the Lancaster's MSc in Strategy program. It is sponsored by Ernst &Young. Is it a good program to go for? Also is it worth to go in Lancaster as they have less info about placements as well?

Obviously, this is not a better choice than the higher-ranked options. You can see that it doesn't place into MBB. Focus on your goals.
