Hi All,

I have about 5 years of work exp 2 years teaching (university level) + 3years of IT experience with an Indian IT major...

I have got confirmed admission in 2 british business schools.
1> Lancaster
2> Strathclyde

Could some one advice on which of these schools is better and what are the positives and the negatives of each school.

Thanks in Advance

Shobhit

Thanks Amit !!

If any of u guys are aware of a good site which has info on UK admission and stuff then please provide me with the same....also wanted to know if theres any place in Mumbai which provides info on colleges in UK offering MBA then let me know abt it....

Again thanks in advance

hey guys.
ofwhat i know about the uk (might be wrong but still) is that finding a job after graduating aint a walk in the park. especially after graduating from a b grade school.

my advice formba applicants:

try utilising some scheme.
1. try for scotland (2yr work permit after any post grad)
2. try for schools listen by the uk govt which give a 1 yr work permit after grad. around 50 schools around the world are a part of that list.
3. get atleast 4 to 5 yr work ex before u come here. minimum for most schools is 3 yrs but average goes upto 7! more the experience, better the candidate u are for mba.

my advice for MSc applicants:

1. come if u dont have work ex, or if u want an extremely specialised course.
2. apply only to the TOP schools (check RAE and TQA ratings for individual courses)
3. dont get troubled by what chopra consultants or study overseas ppl say. take their help but do ur own research. then go to them.

do write back with queries and comments.

Hi Neo,
1) Well there is still ample time for 2006. Only thing is that it would be difficult for you to get any scholarships as you would be aplying in the later rounds.
2)As for the 1 year course you should keep the average expense at around 35000 pounds.
3) With 2 years it would be a bit difficult in a few colleges but you might be able to get in some other,easiest way is to check the 20-80 range of the work experience and if your work experience is bnot in the range save some application money. ont thing to remeber is to think of how much work experience you will have when U start the corurse in October,not today.
4) I would not suggest anyone with your level of work experience to return back to India and do a job search. The Indian companies will never give it a good consideration. You have to target to get a job in campus(posted in any country) or in the UK and then with that job in hand you can negotiate for a job in India.

Hello every1,

1. I am looking for a 1 yr MBA course....As of now have not given GMAT...Wanted to know if i can still apply for 2006??...

Any1 pls help me out...

Thanks in Advance !!!...:)

Hi Samarth

Your school list does not contain many top ranked schools yaar....
Oxford, Cambridge, Cranfield....
Do look out for these schools as well.
In case you dont mind doing a one year MBA prog from Spain.. check out www.ie.edu
IE is in the UK govts list of 50 schools that get a work permit for 1 yr in the UK. so u can always move to the UK after u complete ur school...

I suggest, have your future career line finalized..before u get into Bschool.. each school has renowned faculty in a particular sector.. so that can help u choose the right univ..

Ur GMAT looks good, for ur work exp.. u can always make up for it with the application essays, they give you a lot of scope to explain what you have done in ur professional life..

Go ahead and apply my friend..
u never know whats in store for you ?

Cheers

Hi John,
Thnx for the input.
I had opted for templeton and st Johns.

In terms of sporting activities which one would be a better choice.. i have started to look at colleges in detail now.. but ur inputs wud be more reliable than my research. ( the fact that i choose templeton)

:-)

looking fwd to hear some more happenings at Oxford from you.

Cheers
D

I saw some one ask about the college.... well for post grad studies the college dosen't play much role other than providing you with accommodation...and college accomm in oxford the cheapest....... and they provide you with a daily social life wiht each college having own pubs, tv room etc... so going to a richer college makes life more interesting and you want your college to be as close to the b school as possible...but sadly all college are 15 min cycle ride...which is not bad at all.........

don't leave college empty but chose christ church, corpus christi, university college, just put in one...if you get an admit into the course it is the univ's headache to get you a college incase your mentioned one is full....but the good ones are st hughs(too far though from b school) , keble, christ church( one of the most brit type with all dressed up butlers moving all around and the famous dining hall in the harry ptter movies)

cheers

HI SAMARTH

thans man for so many praise.. but i am only helping bcoz i was also lie u 1 yr before,

and for placement ... its not guarentee,, that if u hav don it form A grade the plcement,,, cos over here loo for past background,, other activities ,, and score of min 60-70 %...

but if u are intelligent and foc then every1 here needs u,,,

but let me make u also aware of the graduate plecement that,, most of the banking and finance companies doesnt help for work permit afterwards , so be cautious,, as i had applied to 2-3 banks and they straightaway refuse for any assistance and also 2 banks had a criteria that u must hav an account in UK for at let 1 year,,, crazy eligibility.. but its all like this over here,,

but best 4 u,,, u got ex,,, and if good acedemic,, and from a grade,,, then the biz is urs,, and u will b in top...

PANKAJ

Good to hear that someone is guiding us , by his own exp,...ALL the best buddy, u will definately get a GUd offer in UK...


He man, tell me one more thing,,,u have seen my profile ,,am i eligible for MA or MSA courses in Grade A colleges,,,,

And the most imp question is...

Will i get placements easily after doing my MA or MSC from grade A colleges, my ambitions are not very high, to earn a lot of money..

i just want to recover in an year or so as much as i have spent on my studies in UK.

Pls guide me as to is it loke whatever course u do from Grade A univ , u will be placed??????????
Also i have come to know that their are lot many banks in Uk, so it's always advisable to go for finance as a course in MBA or msc, so that u get easliy placedis IT SO

bEST OF LUCK AGAIN FOR UR joB SEARCH...

Hello guys,,,

I am Pankaj here,,, doing my MA int biz from leeds met uni, leeds 2005 -06..

those of you comming over here 2 uk,,, for study must first confirm that they are comming for study only and go 4 good uni,,, like LSE, oxford, cambridge or manchester...as you can get easy placements and if u r commming 2 b grade uni like leeds or cardiff , bradford, glasgow,,, then,, u hav to really struggle for a placement ove here bcaz of the work permit situation afterwards((mine problem now).

so go for good uni if u can afford it,,, and really u hav to do a lot of reading even in c grade uni,, better prepared with all the basic books of ur respective fields.. otherwise u hav to read those along with ur studies within 1 year and u cant learn anytihing extra,,and will not b in an advantage positon over others.

wish u all d best for ur choice of uni,,

i am very mush intrested in pusuing my higher studies form UK, as it has 1 yr MBA course---


I have done a bit of research on the B-Schools in Uk,,

i want to pursue my studies from the Top B Schools in Uk like....

Lanchaster,
Manchaster,
Warwick,
Durham,
Cass,
Bath etc,,,


But after going thru the sites og these univ, these univ req min 3 yrs of exp, but by he time i will end up ie in aug 2006 i will have 2+ yrs of exp, so should i give it a try in these univ.


Also pls give ur thought in the credability of the specalization courses (MSC) in Uk univ,,,,,,Do people get placed after getting thru these courses., as they don't req any Work ex.

Also Which is a better choice-

Doing MBA from a univ Like CARDIFF who do not req any work ex OR doing a specilization courese from Top univ in Uk?????

Hi,
In the Oxford:Said's website it is mentioned that we need to mention the name of the college.I am little confused about this..can some one enlighten what we need to do about this and which school are we expected to select for getting admission...

thanks in advance

Said Oxford has the collegiate system wherein you apply to the bschool but have the option of residing in the college of your choice with Oxford. Go thru their website to find out more info on the same. Based on my experience, you can leave it blank for now and call confirm your selection after you are admitted

guys someone reply too my questions ..............

Anyone here applying of University of Reading for sept 2006? I am still in the initial phase of application process...has anyone here got info on the ISMA corse offered?

Hello Samra and fellow threadbearers,
I am amidst some application teething problems. I want to apply to Oxfrd-SBS but was intimidated.. I have about 2.5 years of work ex in Infy but owing to the vagaries/nature of work I shall not be able to get exceptional recommendations... I have a very good acad record throughout but recos.. after being away for so long and changes in college administrations...:-(
I want to know:
1. How exceptional do the recos need to be
2. What do you think made your application a winner .. was it work ex/college/essay?
3. GMAT??
Any help or pointers will be totally appreciated ..
Thanks!

Hey Vinod!
I am currently working with CSC at Noida. Its going to be 3 years with the organisation before I join Oxford SBS. Did B.E. in Electronics.
Are you taking any loan from UK?

hey man u online..yahoo me at..clairvoyance_2003@yahoo.com

d kitchen shd. b big 4 8-guys.
most of T.South flats shd. b hving 6-rooms.
n it shd. only b d latest build flats numbered above 25 dat may hv 8-rooms.

but as per d feedback i dont thk all 6/8 would b having dinner 2gether.
as every1 likes 2 follow der preffered schedule, n few of dem would b true drunkards, so u'll find dem more in d club/bar rather at d dinning table.
so usually its only goin 2 b 4.

most of d overseas students 2 Cardiff r believed 2 b 4m India n China.

so i guess in our flat dere'll b 3 Indians (u, me n 1 more), 2 Chinese, 1 misc.
so it shd. b gud, no gr8888888 fun.

just waitin 2 arrive at Cardiff.

bye.
