Choosing between Birmingham and Bradford ...which one will you choose and why?

Bit tough question...In fact I dont have clarity.....If I have clarity I would have not posted here......You can share your thoughts...

Well..
1. Birmingham has the city advantage as compared to Bradford
2. Overall rankings Bradford has a slight edge over Birmingham
3. Course of Birmingham MBA is more focused on finance. Bradford you have more electives I suppose...
4.Class size for both seem to be large in number ,Bradford populated with a lot of pakistani's...

I hope I did not confuse you further...
You can add your comparison points further....

hmm...Plenty has been discussed......You would have read in past postings....Any way do send your opinion....Do not restrict yourself...There may be some points which I may not aware....Keep posting...

Hi Friends,

Any idea what do they ask in interview?????

Thanks in advance....

Yea, Even i know they do not conduct interviews... but as they have intimated me that they wanna conduct a telephonic interview.. At this point in time.. i cannot predic what's there in their mind :).... but somehow i can try to clear the interview..

any tips would be highly beneficial....

thanks in advance...

Hi,

the possible questions will probably be related to your future professional and perhaps personal aims. Both in relation to Birmingham MBA. For example: Where do you see yourself in 3 years and how can Birmingham MBA helps you to achieve that or why Birmingham MBA and not ...MBA or why do you think you need MBA now and not in two years or what are your menegerial experiences till now, etc.

Good luck.

Hi,

Couple of things I considered were:

1. Accreditation - Birmingham has 2 now.
2. Location - 2nd largest city
3. International reputation - Well known in India..so if I happen to come back..
4. Rankings in the past years - 75 in FT
5. Lastly, the most important one for me..fees. - Reasonably lower compared to colleges in the same tier.

Hi,

I am new to this forum. I have also got offer from Leicester, Sheffiled and Birmingham. Finally, I have decided to go with Birmingham.
Apart from the advantages already listed, I have chosen it because of my professional contacts in birmingham. I have lived there in the past for 6 months and I know the city very well !!
Anyone, going for September 2010 intake, could you please contact me @ [email protected]
