My GMAT score is 680. I want advice on good ROI schools in the UK. I applied to Edinburgh. I am thinking about Durham, Bath and Strathclyde. I have a prior MBA in 2009. So some schools say no to me. Bath has indicated that I can apply while no reply from Strathclyde and Durham. I am currently working in the finance team of a UK based company in India but working on UK financial reports in financial planning and analysis and would like a similar role post graduation but in the UK. My GMAT score is on 10th Jan 2022 hence could not apply in earlier deadlines. I have more than 12 years of experience and am a Chartered Accountant

You might be able to get a job offer without an MBA. Why not take a masters in finance? Imperial MiFs earn more than Strathclyde MBAs.  

Imperial has clearly written on their website that they prefer candidates with more than 3 yrs work ex to do MBA. I got a similar response from Warwick. I have put my CV in for Cambridge Masters in Finance but no reply. If I do land in UK I plan to do ACCA before graduation as I need to give 4 papers due to agreement between Institute of chartered accountants of India and ACCA. But as an international student I am really skeptical on the ability to get a job due to the state of British economy

There is no faster-growing economy in the G7. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10440557/IMF-says-UK-economy-grow-slowly-2022-Omicron-fastest-G7.html 

Perhaps an MSc in professional accountancy, aimed at people wanting to complete their ACCA education, is an option? For example https://www.dundee.ac.uk/postgraduate/professional-accountancy or https://www.swansea.ac.uk/postgraduate/taught/som/msc-professional-accounting/

Thanks Duncan

I found that Cranfield Msc Finance and Management is accepting to older candidates. Will it be a better option from an employability perspective compared to Bath MBA ? 

Yes. Bath will place less than one-third of its MBAs in the UK.

Can someone give me one name (MBA) in the UK in terms good in terms of employability and ROI which is good for my GMAT score perspective (680) and will be open to older candidates. I know its a little late for international candidates but i did not get a better GMAT score earlier. Cranfield seems too competitive. I have applied for Edinburgh and will be applying for Durham shortly

680 is the average GMAT at Cranfield. Strathclyde could be a good option, with a 630 average.
