Work Experience :
Electrical Field : 6 Years

I'm interested to do a MBA/MSc Program in UK to enhance my knowledge and post study work in UK for the next 3 to 5 years which helps to position myself for leadership positions in future.

Yes, at that fee level a specialised MSc at Alliance Manchester, Bath, City, Henley, or Lancaster could be affordable.

I think you should start from your goals and aptitude, not from courses.

1. Use the FT rankings and look only at the highest ranked schools you can get into, paying special attention to the "International Mobility" score (the higher ranked along these lines, the better.)

2. Don't worry so much about specialization, MBAs are general management degrees and specializations tend to be beside the point.

Hello,

Good day.

I've received the MBA offer letter from Strathclyde. How good is Strathclyde in rankings.

Please reply.

Are you asking other people to search the rankings for the word Strathclyde? Are you not able to do this yourself?

The better questions are 'compared to which other schools?; or 'does this school fit with my career goals?'

Thank you. I've deferred the Strathclyde offer for Sep 2021 intake. By using this time, I've applied few other Unis like Durham, UEBS, Lancaster. I don't have time to prepare for GMAT and knowing my strengths I feel I won't score great score in GMAT. Appreciate your inputs in selecting the right one.

My Career goal is to become a Product Manager in a IT Company or a Senior Position in an IT Services Company in UK\Europe for 5 to 7 years after the MBA. Would these MBAs help to attain that objective. In the long term I have Entrepreneurial plans.

Your and Duncan's inputs would be very helpful.

Being a Product Manager in a tech company or having a senior role in an IT services company are both demanding roles. If you can't muster the effort of a few dozen hours to prepare for the GMAT then why do you think you'll be a success in such a role?
