Hi Hina,

From the uni itself i think Birmingham is the best out of the ones you have mentioned and from jobs perspective too Birmingham has more opportunities.
Nottingham as a city has a high crime rate. Personally i couldn't get past that, but i think Nottingham uni is good too.

Ignore the programmes like Cardiff without AMBA accreditation. I would look at the in the order you have them:
1. Birmingham > Nottingham

Then a big gap

2. Leicester and Kent

Then a big gap.

3. Cardiff

Its best if you do some research on that yourself. Also, Contact the Admissions team, they can give you accurate information with regards to the employment etc. In addition, look up immigration laws relating to yourself if you need a visa, which you do, to study in England and if/for how long, can you work in England after graduation.
http://www.ukcisa.org.uk/
as far as i remember, they were not giving work visas any longer to international students. However, since the universities did not support this decision, the laws were altered again. I am not sure! So before you make plans to work in England ensure that you are eligible for a work permit/work visa.
again, the admissions team will be able to guide you with that.

Thanks Duncon for your valuable input. Kinldy suggest me on the best MBA course offered by Birmingham and nottingham..

Thanks once again..

I would strongly recommend Birmingham over Nottingham and being a candidate from SAP background, I would suggest you can opt for either of these 2 options at Birmingham. Due to uncertainty in the UK labour market and frequent changes in UK visa rules, its not advisable to choose the school based on their past employment rate, as these figures are very different for International students, which high level of uncertainty.

MBA Global Banking and Finance (1st preference)
MBA Strategy and Procurement Management

Dont worry you can always change your course while registering with the University. Even MBA general is good provided how many choices of elective they offer.

Thanks for the quick reply. Can you please throw some light on CSR MBA. I could not get enough information from Nottingham Uni site about the job type after this MBA. One can make out what type of job he/she will be doing after Finance MBA or may be operations. But as CSR MBA of nottingham is one of the best MBA, I would really like to know more about it if you have any clue. Thanks.

I do understand that CSR MBA at Nottingham is well known, but i am not very sure about the job prospects, as the number of openings in these areas are not as wide as in finance, Admin, general management or any other related areas where they have openings at various levels, but i think this is not the case with CSR. therefore i think it would be little risky in taking up MBA CSR.
