Hi,

I have got an offer for general - MBA from Uni of Stirling. But since its an isolated place and the job oppurtunities are comparatively lesser in Scotland, I made a decision later to apply for MSc in Management program in the below Univeristies:

1. Lancaster Uni
2. Manchester
3. Nottingham
4. Starthclyde
5. Bath
6. Bristol

I wanted to know if MBA from Stirling is better or an Msc in any of the above Unis are better?

Please do rate the above mentioned Unis for MSc in management prgm...

Thanks in advance

Shyam

Thank you so much Nes. That was a reallyyy quick response.

I will do the search in the same portal. I wanted to know if i am late in applying for all the MSc courses in the Unis mentioned above coz I submitted the applications last week only.

And in Strathclyde I have applied for a course Masters in Business manamgement which can be converted to MBA by submiiting a separate dissertation sort of a report to the University once I get this degree. But meanwhile I shud have gained atleast 2-3 yrs of work ex. wud u give me a go ahead for this course...coz I dont wanna land up in a situation where the corporates are luking for MSc or an MBA and I dont have both...

Please lemme kno...

To be honest, you are indeed late! Applications accepted from Oct...peak time is Jan-Feb...deadline mostly during June.
Now that you have already submitted the application, take a chill pill and be optimistic...do not bother urself of useless anxiety and enjoy buddy!
Oh! After conversion into Strath-MBA you still get to keep your MSc degree with you...nobody gonna take that away from you! lol!! Both MSc and MBA have their own popularity with the business houses...so go ahead and accept if Strath gives you a call!

All the best!

Mindtree Ltd
- I have not highlighted my work experience in my SOP,although I have 2 yrs and 7 months of technical work experience coz they dont wann work ex for the above mentioned course.
- LORs are strong as well.

Please do let me know if i ll be getting offers for the mentioned coy=urse in any of the above mentioned Universities as I have submitted my application only a 10 days back.

Thanks in advance.

about ur profile:
1. I secured 68percent from VTU so urs 71% is quite good.
2. Since u havent taken IELTS/TOEFL, hence I wont be able to tell how much chance u have making it to the B Schools. A good score in IELTS is band-8, Toefl ibt - 105+
3. If you are not showing ur work-ex, ur SOP will not be strong...rather weak. you need to justify the gap to the selectors in ur SOP.
4. If you are not highlighting ur work-ex...LOR from Mindtree cant be sent...

Shyam, I wont be able to say if you will get an admit since I dont have ur SOP or LOR or your transcript...now that u have applied...wait for 4-6weeks...God willing, you will get a seat...have faith in your ability...

All the best bro...

In the meantime, I advise u to have a look at this thread:

Shud I be considering Cass and few more Unis as well...If u cud list tat down for me..

Most schools will be flexible about the amount of work Experience if the other parameters are good(like recommendations, GPA, GMAT ect.)
