Hello
I am a software engineer from India. I have got 6 years of experience in the software industry with very little managerial experience. Lately, I have been stuck in my profession and I had been thinking about moving to the business/management space since 2018. I tried taking Gmat while I was working and could score only around 560.
I have applied to a few universities and the offers received so far are:
Brunel for MBA,
Queens Mary Belfast for MBA,
Cranfield for MSc in Management
Strathclyde for MSc in Project management

If in case I haven't received any other offers, which university would you suggest to proceed with?

I'm looking forward to working in UK/Europe/Canada/USA after my master's. My priority is to get into a course which will give me enough knowledge and experience in management studies but also high in employability factors.

As of now, My preference is slightly towards Cranfield since it's a highly ranked university among the others I mentioned and also the factor that they provide internships as well as opportunities to study 2 modules abroad.

My confusion is mainly between MBA and MSc (MiM). Seeing my profile, what do you suggest?
I'm 31 years old and my graduation percentage is 63.

The priority is to get into a great business school. Cranfield and Strathclyde are much better than Brunel, for example. "Queen Mary Belfast" s a garden, not a university. Queen Mary University is in London. Queen's University, in Belfast, is founded by Queen Victorial.

Other things being equal, an MBA is better than an MSc but do not go to a worse university just to get a better-sounding degree.

Sorry for the mistake. I meant QUB (Queen's University Belfast). 
So considering your suggestion, the order should be like
Cranfield > Strathclyde > Qub right?

I think so. Probably you would benefit more from thinking about the goal in a more specific war than 'business'. Did you consider taking a career apritude test?

Don't do a masters degree in project management, it's probably overkill and a very narrow specialisation. They are not really valued in industry. 

The well established and recognised project management certifications are from PMI in the US or PRINCE2 in most other English speaking countries.

Cranfield is where you should go

Also, there is another update. I got an offer from the University of Birmingham for MBA(International Business). Now Im very confused between Cranfield MSc and Birmingham MBA. From my research, I found Cranfield MSc is in the top 100 FT rankings for management courses. And Birmingham MBA is on the list of top-ranked business school in europe.

In a nut shell,
Past experience: 6 years in computer programming.
Aim: Switch career domain (From programmer to consultant or analyst or manager...etc) and prefer to work in either of these locations - UK/US/Canada/Europe 

Looking at my profile and aim, which course would suit my career goals ?

Start with the aim in mind. Without a specific career goal it's hard to choose. An MSc might be better for a career transition because employers would expect to pay a lower salary. I use CareerLeader. See: https://www.gsb.stanford.edu/alumni/career-resources/job-search/self-assessment and  https://www.kellogg.northwestern.edu/alumni/career-development/articles-videos-and-career-guides/article-self-assessment.aspx for context. 

'Consultant' or 'manager' are very wide categories. A career aptitude test will help you think about the industry you want to be in, the specific business function you want to consult on or manage, etc.

An MSc might be better for a career transition because employers would expect to pay a lower salary, and there will be a better fit for product management or an initial role in consultancy. Administrative management is a broad term and again an MBA will not be needed. Take the aptitude tests and focus.

It's obviously not the case that every article about career transitions mentions an MBA. The MBA is a general management degree and, since you are not going to a top-ranked MBA, the odds of desirable placement into an MBA-type role are low. And you are not targeting an MBA type role: you are targeting an initial role in a functional silo. Perhaps you also think that the MBA is general so you can avoid having to make specific choices about where you want to do. That would be mistaken. Start with a specific destination, and then pick the road that leads most directly to it. Don't pick any road just because you want to move from where you are.

Focus on developing specific goals. There's no benefit to any degree if you don't know what fit they have with your goals  

Will a management degree from Strathclyde University be recognized in Canada in terms of jobs?

Study where you want to work. It will be seen as a real degree, but a degree from one developed country won't have much brand equity in another one. There are only a dozen or so universities with intercontinental brand awareness in the general public (Harvard, MIT, Oxbridge, Stanford...)
