I think he has to take into account of which uni he graduated from for his first degree. If it is a reputable one, then as long as the MBA is ranked in FT top 100, that should be fine. I believe it is too much of a financial constraint to do an MBA from a GMAT school. Not every one can qualify for a scholarship as well.

GMAT is more typical as a requirement for the US & Canadian business schools, as far as I have seen from my investigation. The approach to higher education in the UK is somewhat different, with more emphasis on research capability and/or professional experience. I think that's why we can see various prestigious UK universities offering MBA degrees without GMAT being a strict requirement. Just a quick example is Durham, for example, according to their website. To sum up, it is about your goals and what the school has to offer. If a school is ranked in the FT, I would not be worried about why they do not require GMAT, really.

No single criterion can be perfect for all times and all cases, but broadly speaking, we can see the rankings as an "end" or the results, whereas the admission criteria are one of the "means". If the end seems ok, then it is ok.(of course, without ethical or regulatory violations, etc.)

I think the GMAT is a very clear sign of quality, and it is shown by salaries: read Why you should take the GMAT http://bit.ly/WhyGMAT

I simply disagree. GMAT is one of the tools used to evaluate the candidates, that's it. As with every tool, the effectiveness of standard tests is also open to discussion. (Please note that I am not simply for or against GMAT.)
Also judging a school's quality with the salary of the graduates is itself a highly questionable approach, since graduate salaries can normally be affected by various other factors such as the geographical location, the status of competition at that location, the specializations of the schools, etc.

Thanks for your replays,however, could you give some feedback about the EUA? Is it worth it? Is there a huge difference compared with Bradford?

Thanks!

There is a huge difference between the gradate business schools. UEA is a lovely university in a very pretty setting. At the undergraduate level, UEA is generally better. But as a world-class graduate school of business, the Bradford MBA's triple accreditation and huge global network make it a much better investment.

Thanks Duncan,

I'll attempt to be admitted in Bradford, however, is the UEA a good option? Is it high valuated?

Thanks

No, I don't think the UEA MBA is especially highly valued. It has AMBA accreditation, but its major asset is its unusual January start date which gives it a strong market niche for people who (often for personal circumstances) need to rapidly get into an MBA programme.

Don't you think it's a good option? What about its reputation in market?

Hi,

Eventually I have been admitted in Bradford and I'm attending its MBA.

Thanks for your comments. Also, I would aprecciate any suggestions you may have.

I believe you went for the accelerated MBA course. To complete 14 modules within 10 months, I believe you will be heavily loaded with essays and lectures. Good luck with that mate and hope that you can deal with the stress.

Yes it's the Accelerated MBA programme. Does anyone have references and opinions about this programme?

Thanks
