It's not a bad idea: you're thinking of the London International graduate diplomas, I guess. Taking the GMAT would be a better, faster and cheaper alternative. If your GPA is six years old, the GMAT could be a stronger signal.

Remember, with the online programmes there is not a limited number of seats. They can be much less selective.

I don't think that UEBS has a better reputation than SBS. If you were comparing undergrauate courses in other subjects then Edinburgh has huge advantages, but the MBA is better for consulting at Strathclyde.

Edinburgh has a smaller, more diverse and more senior cohort. They take longer to find work because they are more patient and picky, so that is not too bad, but career services are better at Strathclyde. If you had a good network in the UK then Edinburgh could work out, but it sounds like the risky choice.

Dear prospective student
I have just come across your post and would encourage you to reconsider Henley. Rather than relying on anonymous posts I would strongly encourage you to come and visit us at our Reading campus. By talking to our current students, faculty members and careers team and sitting in on a session you would get a really good feel for Henley Business School and all that we have to offer.
Kind regards
Alison - Henley FTMBA Programme Director

He additionally confirmed that during his interaction with several Henley Graduates, the most common complaint he received was that they were unable to find jobs..

I agree. He was honest about the feedback from graduates although he was arrogant otherwise about the program in general. Did not really give a good vibe.
