Hi folks, i need a little help or suggestion from your end

i am an uk mba aspirant having 4.6 yrs experience in IT Field and 2+ experience in running own business, i have a good academic record B.E comp sci with 70%
i want to do general MBA from uk university , i am not in condition to take gmat as i am running out of time and my current age is 30, i missed the sept 2011 intakes by uk universities

my problem is that is there any good university in which i can get admission in jan or feb 2012 intakes, if any please suggest me.

i talked to one of consultancy they suggest me

1..salford university
2...RGU(robert gordon university)
3.. Aberstywth

or should i have to wait for sep2012 intake?
i m seeking some decent univ.

I just searched for UK MBAs with a spring start (http://bit.ly/qEyp7c) and got these locations:
* Aberdeen (1)
* Berkhamsted (1)
* Buckingham (1)
* Coventry (2)
* Cranfield (1)
* Derby (1)
* Dundee (2)
* Edinburgh (2)
* Glasgow (4)
* Guildford (1)
* Hatfield (1)
* Lampeter (1)
* Lancaster (1)
* Liverpool (2)
* London (14)
* Luton (1)
* Northampton (1)
* Norwich (2)
* Oxford (1)
* Pontypridd (1)
* Sheffield (2)
* Southampton (2)

PS I'm not sure how accurate that website is, but it's a start. Of the schools it lists, the best are Ashridge, Brunel, Cranfield, Dundee, Royal Holloway, Southampton, Surrey and UEA.

Cranfield has an intake just on September

Yes, that website isn't quite right. I think in this case it is referring to Cranfield's modular MBA (http://www.mastersportal.eu/students/browse/programme/9423/mba.html) I know that some schools with two-year modular MBAs will sometimes allow students to complete it full-time in London (Warwick, for example, allows that).

As i am not able to find any good university and i think its better for me to wait...so two purpose will be solve by this
1...i will get sufficient time to study and have time to gmat
2...i will get a good university.

well, if any one find any good university they can mention here it will help others in their finding.

Erasmus BS and Edhec have an intake in Jan .... Just back from Holland and I must admit the quality of life there is very high.

Bradford is missing, probablby the most high profile mba in uk have the jan opening

Hi Shyam, read this: http://www.find-mba.com/board/21897

If you find an MBA program that doesn't require work experience, it probably won't be a valuable experience. An MBA is only valuable if it builds on existing work and leadership skills.

Plus with an accredited MBA you will improve your written English.

The rest of us can only hope...

I even learnt how to use 'whom' correctly. 50K well spent.

I would suggest you to go for MSc program if you dont have work exp however if you still would like to go for an MBA there are few universities offering MBA without Work Exp.
1 University of Wales Institute , Cardiff (UWIC)

2 University of Wales, Newport

3 University of Lincoln



4 University of Gloucestershire

5 Coventry University - London Campus

6 Leeds Metropolitan University

7 University of Stirling - Only for Engineers


8 Liverpool John Moores University

9 University of Greenwich

10 Univerity of West London
11. University of Bedfordshire

Leeds Metropolitan University has an January intake and May intake in 2012. We also offer a pre MBA to students to upgrade English and study skills. Leeds Metroplitan University has a focus in International Employabilty. Contact [email protected]

opening your website it's difficult to think to a business school.
Could you supply some figures to prove your "focus in International Employabilty" ?

I think it's a positive spin on the idea that the students fail to find work in the UK and must return to their home country. http://www.leedsmet.ac.uk/fbl/MBA_and_executive_MBA.htm

No positive spin, just actual stats produced by QS -who run MBA fairs and produce reports regarding MBA employment.
They state that growth in MBA employment is in Asia rather than Western Europe.

We re validated last year this is our first cohort but will happily supply figures in the future.

Are you willing to put a bet on that? I don't think any of the graduate entry MBAs in the UK publish placement reports, and that is because their outcomes are very similar to those of regular MSc graduates. I cannot see any way for an unaccredited MBA in a former polytechnic with no dedicated careers team or alumni network to get outcomes for students that are substantially different from their peers. Let me know what success at international employment looks like, and how that differs from other programmes.
