@mbaaspirantmba - Warwick offers a general MBA unlike a few other schools which offer a more specialised MBA in certain streams. ofcourse, you have the option of specialising in finance through the electives.

Also, an MBA is as good as how the students want it to be. Cass, Cranfield, Warwick, Manchester are all considered to be Tier 1 b-schools. so, it is really difficult to say which college is better amongst these. my suggestion is, dont go by the rankings. look at the course content and see what each mba has to offer and then decide which one really aligns with your long term goals.

hope that helps.

Btw, Karen is not the head of Career Plus, it is Sue Thorn but yeah if you do come here you ll find that she is the most passionate and helpful person around.

The reason why we are not active - 2 reasons, 1st is its a small class size, 2nd - we are actually struggling with managing our time here.

1. to put it bluntly - the placement figures are sad. but this is true for all the colleges in the UK including Oxbridge who are probably having a tougher time than us considering their fees is a lot higher. I recently met some people from last years batch at Insead, 80% of the indians there are still unemployed. so iam sure this gives you a fair idea of how the situation is. but if you have been following the news - david cameron recently made a statement where they might ease the visa regulations for Indians.

2. average work experience of the class is about 6-7 years

3. approx 30% of the class is indians. this year we have around 40 nationalities amongst us

4. well the experience of most of the people is quite varied. we have a doctor amongst us, a person from the army, a rocket scientist, a few entrepreneurs, many accountants and ofcourse the majority are from an IT background.

5. well, the placement scene throughout the UK is different from how it is in india, here they dont spoon feed the jobs to us but expect us to go out and find one for ourselves. the careers plus team @ WBS is probably one of the most active and the best teams in entire England and have been helping us with various skill building sessions and connecting us with companies outside. but the overall situation is sad, i dont think anyone can really influence that @ this moment.

6. well, most of us have applied for a few internships and are in the process of applying. its too early to say nehting.

hope this answers your questions!!!
