Why not use LinkedIn's advanced search and filter by school for the countries you are interested in?
Since Lancaster has a larger range of programmes, I expect it will be Lancaster.

I agree with Duncan - you can use LinkedIn and other resources to determine where program graduates end up.
You can also be more direct about it, and contact each program's career services department and ask them. They should be able to connect you with alumni so you can talk to them directly to hear about their experiences.
Keep in mind that both schools have locations in Asia and the Middle East to host their global programs (Lancaster in Singapore and in Jordan; Henley in Hong Kong.) This may make a difference in that the schools probably have more robust networks in these places.

Thanks to both for your replies. I have been enquiring about full time MBA programme. I am a surgeon with 20 years of clinical experience and last 8 years in management. I have applied at a number of business school and managed to secure admission in Lancaster, Henley, Durham,Bath,Surrey. I have finally come down to choose between Lancaster and Henley. Lancaster has given me a 5000 pound scholarship. The result of Henley scholarship is still awaited. There are other good schools but my limitation has been money.Please advise me regarding
1. the choice between these two schools considering the fact that I would prefer to remain in health/related sector
2. If there is a better option,I can wait for a year to prepare myself financially.
3. What are the opportunities after MBA for people like me apart from being a clinical director,hospital administrator.
I am an Indian national working in middle east.

Henley has a much larger network of MBA alumni in the health care and hospital sectors. Their careers won't surprise you: hospitals, non-profits, pharmas in a variety of media, operational, consulting and business development roles.
For the budget you have, it's the best choice. I would also look at Birmingham. I guess Warwick and Cranfield are too costly?

with 20 years of experience i would suggest Henley as the average age is much higher in Henley as compared to Lancaster. and As Duncan said it has larger network of Alumni in Healthcare sector.

After I got MBA offer from Lancaster and Henley, I have not applied for other MBAs at places like strathclyde, Aston, edinburgh. Warwick, Manchester and cranfield were beyond my budget. I felt that these two were probably the best I could afford. Do you think I should have applied at any other school better than this at this cost.

Cranfield and Imperial are really not that much more than Lancaster, and they're been a lot more stable in the rankings. Lancaster has dropped 50 spots in the FT rankings over the past two years, so it's looking less and less like a good value.
