Hi,

I have received an offer from Cranfield from MSc in Logistics and Supply chain and I may get an offer from Audencia in Master in Supply Chain with a scholarship. I have also applied for UCD, Manchester and Durham for the same master courses but results are awaited.
I am an Indian with close to 9 years of Work experience in Supply chain and i wish to pursue a career in the same field post masters. My goal is ideally to find a job at in the country where I complete my fasters.
Which one is better Cranfield or Audencia? And if i get an offer from Manchester or UCD. What should be my preference?
Looking forward for your valuable comments.

Thanks

I think Manchester and Cranfield are close enough that you should pick between a city-centre setting and a rural campus. Audencia is not so good; not even in the top 5 in France. Furthermore, you might not be able to work in French. I think the housing crisis in Dublin makes an entry-level role there really challenging. 

Thanks, Duncan for your valuable comments. Can you tell me more about the salary ranges for a mid-level professional with a master's degree in supply chain management from Cranfield or Manchester, and which of these two has a higher employability rate? According to the QS World Ranking, Manchester's supply chain is ranked sixth in the world, while Cranfield is ranked eleventh. The FT MBA ranking also places Manchester above Cranfield. So if i get an offer from Manchester, shall I accept that or still stick to Cranfield? (Tuition fees are same for both of the colleges)

Thanks 

The course structures for Cranfield and Manchester are different. I think you have a much wider range of electives at Cranfield which in my mind makes it a potentially more interesting curriculum.

You can do your own research into salaries, this information should be easily searchable online, including the two course websites which have some information about post-course destinations of students.

Hi I still have 2 Offers on Hand 

1. Cranfield Logistics and Supply Chain Msc (29670 Pounds)
2. Audencia Masters in Procurement and Supply Chain (13000 Eur after scholarship)

I know Cranfield is a better Business school than Audencia but I am still confused about whether it is justified to choose Cranfield over Audencia looking at the huge difference in tuition fees. I need your comment as I have deadlines to accept the offer by the 24th of this month, and unfortunately, i haven't received the final decision from Manchester and UCD. 

Look forward for your comments.

The latest FT 2023 ranking puts Audencia on 86th and Cranfield on 88th in Global MBA

Don't make your decision based on the difference in fees of less than 20,000 Euros. Think about the increase in lifetime earnings either of these courses will deliver. 

The supply chain job market in the UK has been quite healthy in recent years, I would favour Cranfield over Audencia.

Unless you can now work in French at a professional level, then there's no reason to consider Audencia. Cranfield will have a better RoI financially, but France wins on healthcare. 

Thanks, Duncan and Aslamo, for your feedback. I am going ahead with Cranfield Logistics and Supply Chain Program.
