I think you;d be better off asking those schools for this information, rather than an MBA website. I assume that most graduates from those MSc programmes do not go directly into management positions.

Hard to tell. The Warwick programme is certainly better presented. I think Henley and Lancaster have similar programmes.

I personally believe Warwick has a better brand value than Manchester.

Sorry i missed your previous post. Since you have 2 years of work exp, I would suggest that you wait for another 1-2 years and go for an MBA program instead of going for an MSc in IT Management and it may not suite your profile.

Dude, when you do a technical course, make sure that you do technical stuff. This degree involves a lot of writing and i would imagine a career in technical column of local publishers would be more suitable. Else you can write novel or blog in nowadays fashion.

Choose the course that you need to you proper programming and maths.

Thanks for the link wbsmasters. This award is an accreditation which is held by 98 university-sector careers service organisations in the UK, the vast majority. I had misunderstood, and had wondered if it might be either an award for business school careers services, or an exclusive award given to only to outstanding careers services. It doesn't really seems to be worth mentioning if almost every university has this accreditation.
