I am an Indian with four years of investment banking experience, a bachelor's degree in Economics, and a CFA Level 1 certification.
I'd like to work in the field of sustainability, whether it's consulting, investment banking, private equity, or joining a business aiming for Zero Carbon.



Which university and course is best for me? Does an MBA is preferred by employers over Msc in UK.

[Edited by karan7497 on Jun 03, 2023]

It feels like Henley to me. An MSc from a great school, like Henley, is preferred to an MBA from a school with little brand equity, like Liverpool Business School. Are you avoiding MBAs that require the GMAT? I think you can better than Exeter or Liverpool John Moores. 

Duncan, thank you for your response.


Yes, you are correct; I have not taken the GMAT, which is why I am not applying to those colleges. Can you suggest any other college that might fit without GMAT requirements?
Furthermore, Henley has only recently begun this Msc, so this will be the very first batch, and I do not have any alumni to guide me through the offering.

I am skeptical and ill-informed about the demand for alumni from sustainability degrees. 

Hello Duncan, 

I have few updates regarding my offers/scholarship:
MSc Sustainable Finance - UCD (Fee - GBP 18,520)

MSc Sustainable Finance - Strathclyde (Fee - GBP 27650, Scholarship - GBP 10,000)MSc Climate change, sustainable business and green finance - Henley Business School (Fee - GBP 25900, Scholarship - GBP 4000)
Which one would be a best college in terms of education, ROI and location benefits in coming years.
Thanks in advance!!

Take a look at the post on my profile page about using LinkedIn for research. I am unsure that these programmes feed into the roles you are targeting.
