I am from India. I have around 6 years of Experience in IT industry. Currently working as Technical Team Lead in India for a US company. I have also worked for a German company in India in the past as well. I am looking for a career change towards Management/Administration. Also employment in Europe or US after the completion of the course is a must.

I have got admissions in the following schools.

Program: IMBA
http://find-mba.com/schools/europe/france/ieseg

I know a little bit of french. I like learning languages and open to learning french. I believe, for international business exposure and employment opportunities, knowing multiple culture and language will add value.

Program: Full-Time MBA

Program: MBA
http://find-mba.com/schools/uk-ireland/ireland/dublin-trinity

Any feedback on these schools ?

If given these are the only schools which one would you choose or rather wont spend the money at all.

SInce you won't speak fluent French by the time you arrive, I would focus on the much stronger schools in Dublin and Nottingham. These are schools with rather national networks. Neither will get you into the US. I think TCD has an edge over Nottingham for most students. Try: How to use LinkedIn to find the best school www.find-mba.com/board/33571

Agreed with Duncan.

If I were you I would ask the Nottingham and UCD for placement stats, especially detailed figures in terms of those who come from outside the EU (assuming that fits your residency status).

It would be good to know how many are actually able to make that kind of transition. It's pretty good for the top schools like LBS, Cambridge, etc., who do make this info public, but this is less clear for the schools that aren't ranked in the FT.

I just saw, for example, that only 16 percent of MBA grads from Nottingham end up working in the UK:

Now, given that Nottingham also has campuses in China and Malaysia, this might not be too terrible, but there's no indication of what the stats look like for each individual campus (given that the UK campus probably has 90%+ international students each year, many of whom want to make the same transition as you are planning).
