Good day, I'm considering 3 schools and would really appreciate some assistance in choosing one. I'm looking to focus on entrepreneurship and the 3 schools I'm considering are:
1. The University of KENT:
http://www.kent.ac.uk/kbs/programmes/kentmba/index.html
2. The University of NEWCASTLE: http://www.ncl.ac.uk/nubs/postgrad/mba/fulltime/management.htm
3. University of Surrey:
http://www.surrey.ac.uk/mba/mba-modules/index.htm
Any feedback on the quality of the programs etc would be really, really appreciated.
Thanks

I would suggest Kent to the best best option among these three. Although they have a very small cohort, but their career services is excellent and some of the 2011-12 batch's international students have already received job offers. They also offer 2 Europe trips, which is already included in their tuition fees. Fortunately i had a meeting with the Director of Kent university last week in London and was amazed to know about their MBA program and support services offered to their students.
Although its not in FT but it is still a very well regarded program.

I'd opt for the general MBA at Newcastle. I think the programme has better roots and as an older university Newcastle has a slightly better brand than Kent.

Kent has an edge in terms of class profile, location, connections with some good institutions like GE, HSBC, RBS etc and they organise 2 in campus job fairs in an year. I got to know all this from student's feedbacks.
Student satisfaction rate is also high.

Without a doubt, it is Newcastle University with a good slight margin over the other 2 schools.
The MBA is very well established and very well respected ranked in the top 100 occasionally. Newcastle is an awesome university in the Russell Group and employers certainly see it well.
Newcastle is now also led by an interesting Vice Chancellor.

Thanks guys for all the feedback. I note that no one mentioned Surrey. I find this a bit strange since Surrey was ranked higher than both schools in a few rankings I came across. Any reason for this?
Posted Jul 03, 2012 05:18
All I can say is look at the MBA ranking and not Times or Guardian which is more for undergraduate
