Brunel or Strathclyde MBA


Hi Team,

The various discussions and posts on FindMBA have been very beneficial to me. Thank You.

Im confused to pick between Brunel or Strathclyde MBA.
I have read many postive posts on Strathclyde MBA. However, there was no much insights on Job prospects post MBA.

Please help me in deciding the Uni considering the ROI and career growth factors.

Your friends might not be familiar with the outcomes from these MBA programmes. I would trust objective data more than your friends unless they are familiar with people who have taken these MBA programmes.

Jobs in the UK are distributed more or less evenly across the population. Foreign MBA students are heavily concentrated in London, and there is more competition there. Students outside London often find it easier to find work and generally have higher disposable salaries. For average workers, for example, disposable income is twice as high in Glasgow and Edinburgh than in London. 

I have no idea what you mean by global exposure. Certainly there is a more cosmopolitan choice of foods in a large city than in a small one. However, Strathclyde is a world class business school in a way Brunel is not.

Maybe you mean more global companies are located in and around London, therefore there are more opportunities for 'global exposure'?

You only need to glance at the major employers from those two MBAs to see that Strathclyde is placing people into global companies more often than Brunel is. LinkedIn is your friend.

RE: the QS data. Try to take this with a grain of salt. Where the FT surveys alumni directly, QS asks the schools. There are many more possibilities for the data to be misreported - intentionally or not. I personally don't think it's reliable.
