Strathclyde, Reading and Birmingham are the leading schools schools in this set. I think Henley (Reading) must lead for OD out of those schools.

I'd go with Strathclyde - it's the only one ranked by the FT. And in Scotland you (may) have more opportunities for work post-graduation.

Your mileage will vary though - with the stringent visa rules for international students, coupled with the relatively low visibility of these programs (at least compared to Warwick, Cambridge, Oxford, LBS, etc.) you may find it a struggle to find a job there after graduation.

I have acceptance from both Strath and Birmingham..

which one would you guys recommend? how is the overall reputation of the 2 schools in UK and globally? are the job prospects for these schools good?

i am unsure on which one to join.. Birmingham is 5k cheaper and is in the Second City of UK.. but strath with its triple accredition and top 100 rank..

Please help me choose!

I would recommend Birmingham over Strathclyde. Primarily because of its location and proximity to London. and secondly their screening process is little stringent than Strathclyde, which means better cohort and peer group.
Birmingham normally ask for 5+ years of experience, whereas in Strathclyde you can find most of the candidates with 3-5 years of experience.
