strathclyde vs sheffield


tiger7869

I am a banking professional with 5 years of experience. I have got offer letters for MBA from both strathclyde and sheffield with sheffield offering a 2500 GBP scholarship. I am looking forward to a career in finance. Which university would be better according to career prospects in the UK or EU. Also the fees of strathclyde is almost 10000 GBP higher so is it worth it. Which college has a better ROI.

Strathclyde is much better. Look at the FT Mif ranking for context.

I have no idea which ranking tells you Sheffield is #1 for anything but that is not a relevant ranking for this choice.

Living in Glasgow will probably be more expensive than living in Sheffield. However, you can think about it like an investment. Strath is clearly the better school in all respects and your post-gradation salary would reflect the strength of the school and the program. I think that a ranking of student experience is relatively meaningless, when discussing business programs. Look instead at the FT rankings, and any career data you can find.
