I would also like to mention i am applying for Msc in Marketing to ASTON and Msc in operation management and supply chain in Manchester what say

Maybe you should start with the colleges you haven't applied yet. Sounds like you have applied to any random school that sent you a prospectus.

I dont think you have ready the Thread i have tried all possible colleges you tell me which one should i apply to for the MBA ready the thread u will know my back ground

I got an Offer from ASTON for Msc in Marketing ..........waiting for an offer from Manchester ...........any comments ..........pleaes highlight the strenghts of these uni's for the Msc programe

Raphael, here's what I can offer.
First, forget rankings. Forget schools.

What do you want to do professionally? Is it something specific? Are you already set on this idea? If so, an MSc might be a good bet. If you have general ideas and open to different things, an MBA might serve you well. I should add, you ought to have some level of focus for this as well. The MBA is gives you most return on your investment, but only if you make a sound investment and have an idea of what YOU want.

After you decide what you want, decide where you want to be. What are the benefits to your leaving India? What are the opportunity costs? What are the pros and cons?

Gauge your academic strengths and weaknesses. Align them with the academic standards set forth by schools you are considering. Don't go solely by rankings. They change every year. I doubt any school in America or Europe pays to be ranked. Most good schools actually dislike rankings, because they are a bit misleading and distracting.

All this being said, if you are still conflicted, I would respectfully advise that you take some more time to work and gain experience and do more research as well. If possible, a planned trip to schools you might consider would be a good idea as well.

I'm sorry if you feel beaten up my others on this site, but you have to understand that a proper MBA will change your life. It isn't something you should randomly pick from a list or ask another person to choose for you.

Thanks this answers what i want to do.............

After a lot of discussion with the people around me and the people i know, and with the peopel i work they all say i am good at marketing and in specific operation, strategic thinking, getting to a solution so i think i will deside on doing an Msc first and then after i get enough amt of experience i might think of the MBA.................

Thanks Kelly

No problem... Remember to always ask yourself what it is you want, then research the best way to get there.

Best of luck in the future!

Thanks mate.

when i pay my fees i will get back to you....... i still have to deside on ASTON or Manchester .............

Cheers
