Hi everybody,
could you please suggest the UK programs that give the best opportunities in terms of contents and networking for students that want to fucus in international business development?
Excluding the top programs, or those that require minimum GMAT scores (LBS, Said, Judge, Warwick, Imperial, Cranfield), I was considering Manchester Business School for its global exposure, but I need to shortlist another one or two.
Could anyone give me some suggestions?
Thanks

By international business development, can I just check that you mean export selling? I think any school with a string marketing offer will be able to support that modestly, but only Ulster and RGU have really strong offers specifically in business development. French schools are much, much better at that, and I think an MSc will be better than an MBA at preparing for those roles.

Take a look at Why you should take the GMAT http://www.find-mba.com/board/38939

With international business development I mean both marketing and sales in an international perspective. I have a background of both sales and general management built in different industries in the Middle East and in Estern Europe (I'm from Italy). I'd like to take an MBA to strenghten my general management and leadership skills. Since I have already 7 years experience I was thinking to take an MBA rather than a Msc in Marketing, and the UK is my first choice for several reasons (quality of the programs, international prestige, etc). My first choices are Warwick and Imperial, but my GMAT in my first attempt is only 580 and I need at least 600 for those programs. I'm planning to retake it though,

Warwick requires 650.
