Europe doesn't have a single labour market.

EADA's situation is complex. While EADA appears in rankings and has decent international placement, it faces some limitations:
- No ECTS credits could limit recognition in some European countries
- Lower ranking position compared to many European schools
- Smaller alumni network

Exeter brings different advantages:
- UK Russell Group university with strong academic reputation
- ECTS credits that are widely recognized across Europe
- Established track record in business education

However, rather than simply comparing these two schools, I'd encourage you to clarify:
- What specific role and industry do you want to work in after graduating?
- Which European countries interest you most for employment?
- Do you speak any other European languages?
- What is your current work experience level?

The employment outcomes data suggests that schools with the strongest international placement rates in Europe include:
- LBS
- HEC Paris
- ESADE
- IE
- IESE

If your budget allows, these schools would likely provide better career opportunities across Europe compared to either EADA or Exeter.

The key is matching the school to your career goals. Without knowing your specific aims, I cannot make a clear recommendation between these two options. The best school is the one that will help you achieve your particular career objectives.

I am currently employed as a flight operations officer and air route planner. I hold a bachelor's degree in aviation management.

I am eager to transition into a new career in management and business, such as business analysis or consulting. One of my key goals is to enhance my CV with a degree or qualification from a reputable university or business school.
I want to pursue a master's degree at an institution that is well-recognized by employers.

In addition to English, I am fluent in three other European languages and proficient in a total of six languages.

There is an option of MSc in business and management at Cranfield

And ESSCA school of management MSc international business- With 90-120 ECTS.
is this school recognised by the French state?

Thank you Stuart for your amazing input

Why not take a degree in consulting or business analysis? These are quite different fields.

I still would like to have managerial and business study. But I search and see what I can get.

What is your thought about:

and if need to compare them with EADA and Exeter?

Are you have a good employer reputation?

Are you looking at online MSc degrees only?

Are you looking at online MSc degrees only?

Yes Stuart, I can't leave my work.
There programs that I mentioned all online (but offer live lectures too).

Which you think more appealing to employer?
Cranfield, EADA, Exeter, ESSCA

Thank you

Would pick Cranfield. Among older graduates it still has great reputation. Plus it ain't a bad uni :)

Thank you Andy.
I will take that into consideration.

You have any opinion about the others?

I suggest you re-read the discussion on your first thread. Unless you develop a working hypothesis for a career goal, you are very likely to waste your time and money. Andy's right that Cranfield's a very good university, and it's one with good aviation connections (but outside the business school). But if you want to work in Italy or Greece you should absolutely study in those countries. Pick your country and your career goal, and then pick your school

actually I'm open to work in different countries, UK one of them.

That's why I'm searching for a good business school to have string reputation in Europe.

In Greece there is Alba, but I understood from many discussion here that Alba degree is not very valuable in Europe.
In Italy I checked BBS, but again I saw that it is not AASCB and AMBA accredited and does not have high rank.

EADA as you mentioned exactly, high rank, but lack of credits.
ESSCA offer credit an triple accredited (but don't know if it is recognised by the French state).
Cranfiled triple accredited too and good ranking.
Exeter triple accredited but not among the best 100 last year.

Not making a choice of country will lead to a sub-optimal choice. With ESSCA, you can ask the school, check the CGE website or the ministry of education to see if the degree is recongised by the state by, as with EADA, _why_ do you need a degree that is recognised by the French state if you don't want to work for the French state or do a PhD there? Not having a goal means you end up putting weight on criteria that don't matter to most careers goals, and not factoring in the specific gap you need to close between you and your target job.

because I see some of your comments before about EMIB at ESCP, and you criticise the program due to lack of recognition

Absolutely: if you need a degree with state recognition, it's a deal-breaker. But... if you wanted to work in France then a private diploma from one of the Grandes Écoles is way better than a state-recognised degree from Cranfield. But, indeed, maybe the DALF is a more valuable qualification for someone who wants to work in France than a private degree from the #18 grande ecole for business.

France is not actually one of the countries where I would like to work.

From what I gather from your insights, it's usually better to study at school in the country where I aim to build my career rather than reputable school abroad.

In your experience within Europe, which institution generally has the best reputation: Cranfield, ESSCA, EADA, or Exeter? generally asking

Again thank you for the help :)

I don't think there is a "European" reputation outside of recruiters in a small number of consultancies and banks who recruit from the top schools I mentioned earlier. Cranfield is the best ranked of these schools overall https://rankings.ft.com/rankings/2954/european-business-school-rankings-2023 but as soon as you look at normal employers, it's really national schools that they look to. A British employer has maybe heard of the Sorbonne and won't know far better schools like INSEAD or HEC. A French employer focussed on the domestic market will have heard of Oxbridge but not LBS. A German employer probably will know of no Spanish school, not even IESE - which has a campus in Germany. So, it really depends on national -- or even regional - brand equity.

I got you, thank you.

In this link that you sent me I can see that EADA is the best.
But maybe to go for master with credits would be more safe.

The best for what career goal?
