Thanks for this evaluation.
But can you tell the basis of this evaluation. Is this purely based on FT / economist ranking? Or any other factors?

numerous factors along with rankings viz. personal experience, excerpts from the independent newspaper, guardian forums, student blogs, wikipedia etc...ask others, majority will say 'yes' to this comparison...goodluck.

Hi

I am a new entrant to this post. Found quite useful opinions here.
Can anybody throw more light on Bradford vs Aston vs Strathclyde? Which will be a worthy place to invest time & money both looking at the outcomes?

lol! Oh I wont mind..cz there is nothing serious abt it!

Logically, how can a person be at all the three unis?!

No didnt study at any of the 3 unis mentioned by you...but i had applied to all the three b schools and got unconditional offers from the trio (for MSc)...prior applying i had done extensive research of my own and whatever comments i had written hold good for MBA and MSc as well.

As per me the reputation order is:
Nottingham>Durham>Leeds>Bradford=Glasgow.
Honestly, apart from Nottingham the difference between the rest is negligible...they almost belong to a same tier...

Arranging the b schools as per your desirous is illogical.

all the best.

Yep, thats right all of them r in the same league...except Aston and Strathclyde.

Among the offer, its impossible to tell which one you should pick. Pick Royal Holloway if you are rich else pick anyone from the rest 6 if you are looking towards some smart budgetary moves. Standard wise all 7 are almost identical.

>I am working as a business analyst in an I.T company currently.<

1. Your total yrs of exp is 3+ or your experience in the business analyst position is 3+?
2. Are you a certified business analyst i.e. did you pass the CBAP from the IIBA?
3. Which Co are you employed at? Role?

You probably meant that Aston and Strath are superior to the other schools, didn't you? Check this: http://extras.timesonline.co.uk/tol_gug/gooduniversityguide.php?subject=BUISINESS

@Malia:

In the Good Uni guide,

B Schools placed above Aston are:-
Judge, Said, LSE, Bath, Warwick, Loughborough, Exeter, Kings, St. Andrews and Lancaster.
B Schools placed above Strath and below Aston are:-
Tanaka and Cass.

As per "mbaspirant" options (posted above) Aston and Strath are indeed better options. Please the above posts.

Honestly, how can Bath beat Warwick?! Loughborough above Lancaster!!!?! I dont see Cranfield in the list so this list must be for the undergraduate study not MBA or MSc.

Yes, that's right. I justed wanted to demonstrate that Aston and Strathclyde are among the most reputed business schools in the UK.
