I applied both in Birmingham, 12 and 21, but I was accepted in the 21 month. I've read that this is the same to the 12 month, but you previously have 6 courses during 9 months...as a Pre-MBA, but the rest months are equally to the FullTime that everyone knows.

1.Why don't you request them to convert as 12 month program?
2.As far FT rankings are concerned Birmingham is marching upwards but the bitter truth is career support is not up to the level..... Out of 640 business graduates 250 are from FT MBA program....Supporting 250 FT graduates ( that includes 12 month,21 month,MBA in banking,MBA in Fin,supply) etc for placement is a big task.
3.Location advantage of Birmingham helps to recover from all difficulties.
4.This year both univ are going to be audited...I don't know what will happen.As you know some of the good univ like Leeds,Nottingham had lost their places.
5.Though Brad is in downward trend its going to be triple accre...by this year....It may help to survive in rankings....
6.Anything which is above 50 in FT is not a good choice.So from this point of view both are average.
7.Despite many difficulties Bradford has shown good consistency....by at least occupying some position.


So from your point of view I think Bradford could be a right choice..Spending 21 month for a program will be hectic....

I would try to convert to 12 month programme. But what do you know about the Career Support in Bradford ? Is it quite good? The bad side to me with Bradford is the location, mainly because is too small and dangerous, and I won't have an international exposure. In the other side, Bradford just take me 12 months and less money.

How can I be sure about one of them?

I think Brad is just 30 miles away from Manchester....Correct me if I am wrong....Cost wise Brad is 2k extra I believe....
As far as career support is concerned.....present situation is not appreciable....But they will assist to their best....by working on CVs ,career guidance etc...I got this reply from a guy who is a current student of Brad...
