Hello.

I got 2 offers from Hult International Business School and Aston Business School.
Would you give me an advise to help my decision?

What I am most considering things are learning management skills with improving business mind(I have engineering background and 5 yrs experience) and building up human networking.

Do you have any career goals, or ideas about where you would like to work?

I think it's fair to say that Hult does not have strong placement relationships with any of the traditional MBA employers. For that, you'd be better off at a mainstream business school with AACSB and EQUIS accreditation.

Thanks, Duncan.

Adding more about me, after finishing studies and few more years experiences at manufacturer such as steel making companies, electronics, motors etc., I would like to work as a project planning manager or strategic production consultant.

Hult is ranked in the FT, and Aston is not. Not only that but Hult has climbed in this particular ranking, from the bottom of the pack in 2009 (97) to 61 this year, when other lower-tier UK-based schools have seen substantial drops over the same period. Certainly this should account for something, no?

Hult is not a UK school: most students don't study at the UK campus. Students are typically from the developing world, and can record higher salaries in the PPP currencies that the rankings use. Even so, the school is light on quant and analytical skills, which is perhaps why its average salary increase is below the average for schools in China or the US.
