Yes, at that fee level a specialised MSc at Alliance Manchester, Bath, City, Henley, or Lancaster could be affordable.

Hello Duncan, 

Thanks for your immediate reply. Highly appreciated. 

I've found, 
Brunel (MBA), 
Manchester Metropolitan (MSc Mgmt), 
University of Westminster with affordable Fees and Accreditation. 
Kindly share your views.

"Specialized MSc at Alliance Manchester, Bath, City, Henley, or Lancaster could be affordable" - Which specialization would your recommend for me. I've Sales/ERP Consulting and Project Management experience.  

Thanks again for your time and support.

I think you should start from your goals and aptitude, not from courses. 

1. Use the FT rankings and look only at the highest ranked schools you can get into, paying special attention to the "International Mobility" score (the higher ranked along these lines, the better.)

2. Don't worry so much about specialization, MBAs are general management degrees and specializations tend to be beside the point. 

Thank you. I will search for those ones.

Hello, 

Good day. 

I've received the MBA offer letter from Strathclyde. How good is Strathclyde in rankings. 

Please reply.

Are you asking other people to search the rankings for the word Strathclyde? Are you not able to do this yourself?

The better questions are 'compared to which other schools?; or 'does this school fit with my career goals?'

Any good MBA will help you towards that objective.

Thank you. I've deferred the Strathclyde offer for Sep 2021 intake. By using this time, I've applied few other Unis like Durham, UEBS, Lancaster. I don't have time to prepare for GMAT and knowing my strengths I feel I won't score great score in GMAT. Appreciate your inputs in selecting the right one. 

My Career goal is to become a Product Manager in a IT Company or a Senior Position in an IT Services Company in UK\Europe for 5 to 7 years after the MBA. Would these MBAs help to attain that objective. In the long term I have Entrepreneurial plans.  


Being a Product Manager in a tech company or having a senior role in an IT services company are both demanding roles. If you can't muster the effort of a few dozen hours to prepare for the GMAT then why do you think you'll be a success in such a role?
