No-one pays full price for Hult so don't be fooled by fake discounts. Clarify your goals. Which schools have the best network in your region?

Thank you, Duncan, for the insight.

I measured these schools on 12 different matrices, including yours and was able to conclude the priority list: Durham > Birmingham >/= Bath.

One last thing: If I am going for either of these three schools, is it worth leaving the Hult offer at hand? considering I already have secured Birmingham. I am particularly drawn towards it because of its faculty, global rotation and practical approach. Please let me know if I am wrong here.

Unless you want to work for EF, I don't see a reason to add Hult to the mix. But... i also don't hear very specific career goals in terms of industry, role and location.

I would return to India upon completion. Moreover, the roles and industries I would like to focus on are senior management in the banking segment and, later, manufacturing (family business).<br>

If you want to return to India, why study in the UK? Is that because you want to avoid standardised tests? <br>
Which of these schools has the best network in banks in India?

PS A glance at LinkedIn suggests that a MSc with professional accounting organisations' dispensations could be more powerful and an MBA. I would also consider MSc programmes in the CFA partner programme.

Is senior management a realistic approach? Aren't senior managers in banking substantially more experienced?
