Is Leeds or Edinburgh really good Univ for Senior level professionals?

Hello Everyone,

At the outset let me thank you for your feedback. I am from India and have over 19 years of work experience in Banking and Financial Services space. I have being invited by both Leeds and Edinburgh for a full time MBA with scholarship as well. Is it worth the investment both in terms of time and money? Does it open the doors to the London capital market?
Need your genuine feedback on the same. Thanking you again.

Best regards,
Pankaj Pradhan

An MBA is probably an excellent investment.

However, take a look at The sad facts about scholarships http://www.find-mba.com/board/37055 It's a false economy to accept a scholarship rather than go to a better school. LBS and Cass are the obvious choices if you are focussed on London.

I assume you are talking about the University of Leeds and the University of Edinburgh business schools, which are triple crown, rather than the inferior Leeds Business School and Edinburgh Business School.

Edinburgh is a huge banking centre and there are fewer MBAs competing for roles there.
