Lancaster v/s Birmingham


Posted Nov 11, 2020 13:51

Hi All,

I have offers from the University of Birmingham & the University of Lancaster for the MBA program.

I have good experience in Investment Banking and would like to join Investment Bank in future.

Which will be a better university for me.

Thanks,
KS

Thanks Duncan for the response it has been helpful. Which are other good universities I can have look I am looking at mid-range universities as my academics may not support my candidature to the top most universities in UK.

I have no idea what you mean specifically by mid-range, but an average school in the UK will not place many MBAs into investment banks. Look at the schools in the FT masters in finance ranking: that shows the schools with the best links to banking and finance. If you can't get into those schools, then you need to improve as a candidate, for example with a higher GMAT score, or change your goals.
