Its very difficult to answer as per the parameter you have provided...also its not clear from your post which/what type of course you are looking at -- MBA/Specialist Masters/MSc-Management?

provide more details and if possible narrow down your parameter cz. what ever you are telling its a very broad parameter...infact every possible good B School in the world will fit in as per your selection criteria...be precise...

Hi,

Okay, I again got a bit lost reading your post! I will try to answer your queries to my best level.

1. MBA of Warwick is more reputed than that of Manchester.
2. International Management -- Manchester is better than Warwick.
3. Risk Management module -- Manchester is well known.
4. Consulting -- Warwick is the best in the UK. (Probably is a tie with LBS)

Please ask others regarding Risk Management & Entrepreneurship...I dont have much info.

Could you please drop a couple of lines with reasons for this reputation?

Thanx!

From an international point of view, I would say that Manchester has an edge over Warwick, so I would choose Manchester.

The situation now is even more complicated... I was taken to both - Manchester and Warwick. :-)))) Besides, I'm a bit confused with the name of the certificate of Warwick, which is sound as (taken from their offer) "Taught Master?s Degree of Master of Business Administration". As far as I understand "Master's" is smth other than MBA or am I mistaken?
Additional comments on what to choose (with arguments) are welcomed of course.
Thanx!

Warick is a great school but yet I would go for Manchester since it is located in a cosmopolitan rather than in a suburban area! At least you will get more frequent speakers from blue-chip companies and at the end of the day...u r learning a practical degree...so I'd rather assoicate myself with a business centered city!!

i am in a similar boat. after narrowing down to part-time UK schools, i applied to MBS & WBS.

have recvd offer from both:

MBS - 2 yr Global MBA
WBS - 3 yr Executive MBA

from my research it seems Warwick has a better name in general but Manchester has a slightly better MBA program.

If looking from prospective employers/recruiter point of view, which one is better.

which will u recommend for me - have 15 yrs tech management experience (US+UK) and currently in UK.

thanks in advance

Good luck, Manchester-folks. :-) Warwick rulezzzz...........
p.s. don't rush for names/rankings, it's not that "black/white" as it seems sometimes. Network is the core.

Hi guys ,
I need some serious help from u all as i have no idea about all these universities ....
Could u guy's help me in deciding first of all which r d best b schools ( say 5 or 6 ) in uk for MSC in marketing , enterpreurship & finance ....

Advice: If you have 'no' idea, do read and surf the net...do your own research else fall into the clutches of an unscrupulous study abroad consultant. Your choice really. Dont expect others to spoon fed you. Its ur future hence your labor.
All the best.

Although Warwick is much better ranked as a university in the UK rankings, Manchester is better ranked as a university in world rankings plus Manchester's business school is slightly better ranked than Warwick's when taking an average of all recognised rankings (FT, EIU, QS, Business Week, Forbes). Manchester has a much better global reputation benefitting from the name of the city and being established long before Warwick although Warwick's business school was formed not long after Manchester's so overall MBS has achieved more than WBS so far. Warwick has a pleasant countryside campus but almost in the middle of nowhere compared to Manchester's location in the middle of a big city although that's up to individual preference. Warwick's MBA is 12 months long, Manchester's is 18 so WBS gets you back to employment quicker but MBS teaches you more and gives you more opportunities, especially international. Manchester's MBA costs about £33k whereas Warwick's MBA costs £22k but as you will only be doing the MBA once, cost and time should really not be the deciding factors. I would go for Manchester at this point in time although I expect Warwick to catch up soon considering its rapid growth. As for specific disciplines such as international and risk management, entrepreneurship and consulting, both offer those subjects and have a strong focus on them but in any case, as with all top business schools, you can choose your electives to suit your interests and goals. Hope that helps.
