Hey everybody.... I am in a dilemma here.... I have to choose between MSc management programmes at the following universities....

Cass
Lancaster
Strathclyde (Master in Business Management)
Warwick

I gather that all of them are triple accredited. Strathclyde has particularly attracted me because it offers its MBM grads the option to convert their degree into an MBA after 3 yrs of post grad exp. Lancaster on the other hand offers good internships and was ranked by FT last yr. I've never seen Warwick's programme in any rankings, but it's reputation carries weight, and Cass is in London..!!!

Help me out here guys.... :)

Do yourself a favour buddy...dig out the old posts....

For a Msc in Mgmt, probably Warwick is the best option. I particularly like their close to real world approach and the comprehensive course design. Dig into their official website, it has enough information.
As a matter of fact, all the schools that you have mentioned are well known and very well reputed in the industry.
I guess, with comparisons this close you should rely on your preferences based on your future plans (I know that sounds cliched and abstract but continues to be a fact)

Thanks

Go for Cass. Its got the best reputation out off all the four b-schools you have mentioned.

But then again a degree from any of these universities should hold a good amount of weightage.

I think it makes sense to be close to the city, warwick & cass are the best option followed by lancs and strath.

Thnks fr the responses.... bt is being in the city the only real advantage of cass over warwick? i went through both their course structures. While a detailed description of the cass course is given, the warwick website doesnt elaborate much... is it true that warwick msc is more theoretical and cass approach is more practical?

Ps: Is n't finding accommodation far more difficult in london than in warwick univ.?

Cass is fantastic school and is well known for finance.

Unlike Cass, Warwick doesn't release much info on internet...the website is not flashy, prospectus is not glamorous, this is no fancy video on youtube...

At Warwick-MiM you have so many case-studies and presentations that you cant heave a sigh of relieve...and for the record its the only MSc Management course in the UK which has got two dissertations...You get to do real time company analysis n trade in the reuter systems...many people fail in the module assignments and exams...you really need to work ur a** off in this course...

I dont know what you mean by practical/theoretical approach but like any top b schools, warwick values 'intellectual capital' and promotes 'original thinking'...

Warwick is expensive and difficult, come if u can handle all of them...its a fantastic place to study...

And what about the MSc in Management at cass? I heard it is pretty good but how can it be compared for example to LSE, LBS, Warwick and Ashton?

hey
i have applied to the Cass MSc Finance programme...in their admissions requirement, GMAT is not stated as mandatory, but is recommended..
i did my ugrad from Indiana University in the US, and its ranked as one of the top 15 business programs in the US...i have done a double major in Finance and Entrepreneurship...plus I have almost 2 yrs of work experience...
you think ill still be req. to take the GMAT as a conditional offer for the CASS MSc Finance? please lemme knw wht u think asap? btw, this is my first choice

Aren't general management degrees from reputed universities such as Warwick and Cass enough to land you a job in the UK? I shall be choosing one of the two MSc Management courses... are there cases of Warwick/Cass MiM graduates going without a job for months at a time after graduation? Surely these graduates must have an edge over their compatriots in mediocre universities.

i think anyone associated with such schools would manage to get a decent job...having said tht, im not really sure wht sort of a job market exists in europe right now, due to the current economic scenario...but overall, I think if u hav a masters degree and tht too from a good school as you mentioned, it is more likely than not that ull end up securing a decent job anywhere...
anyways, for those who have got an offer from schools such as CASS, Warwick, etc...congrats
how hard would you say it is to get into CASS if u have done ugrad from a decent school with a 3.3GPA, and 2 yrs work experience....lemme know, thanks
