MBA Selection(HHL vs Bradford)


Posted Jun 28, 2012 10:37

Hi Friends,
I am from India, having around 6 years IT experience and would like to move in to the Managment career. I had got offers from HHL Leipzig management(Germany) & BradFord School of Management(UK). My Interest was always been studying at UK, but given the stricter Visa rules and also reduction of part-time opportunities for non-eu citizens are looming large. I am bit confused. HHL is also an very well accrediated European Business school as i could understand.
Actually the Fees for studying at HHL and Bradford is almost the same

So please give your suggestions and it would benefit my decision making process.

Good programmes. Bradford is better known, and a safer choice. Both the city and the MBA have a lot of people from the subcontinent. The university will have a stronger reputation in India and a better network.

As a European with intermediate German I would choose HHL. It is a stronger MBA programme and I imagine that outcomes are better for HHL graduates. If you spoke some German or had four months before and after the programme to accelerate your learning, then it would be an interesting choice.

Thanks Duncan for the quick reply...:)

Actually for me finance is a concern, but i am giving it a try with the support of my friends and relatives for expenses. My interest is to work for some-time post-mba. So if i would choose UK, since the PostStudyWork Visa is cancelled from april 2012,then it will burden on the interest payments if i have to get back to india immediately. So there is particularly no breathing time. as the 12-month MBA is an rigorous curriculum.

But as far as germany there is a 1 year PSW, but particularly concerned about the management jobs which require a better german speaking skill(and i have just planned to learn germany once opting HHL and i have time to improve that in 1 year...optimistic..)...but actually not sure of the actual issues MBA-alumini's with normal or no-german language might be facing.
