hello,

iam a commerce graduate from the university of madras. i have one and half year of full-time work experience.

i have currently got offers from the following universities-
1) coventry - mba
2)cardiff - mba
3)bedforshire -mba

i am aware that these are non-accredited universities and do not hold much value.

would you please advice on doing a MBA from these universities or waiting till i have three years experience so i can apply for accredited universities?

i also have a option of doing a msc in international business at sheffield , nottingham and other reputed universities.is it better to do a msc now and work and go for a proper mba later on . please advice, age 22

Cardiff's MBA program is AACSB-accredited; that's the only one of those three I would consider.

Whether that's better than an MSc is up for debate, depending on your goals and expectations. Personally, I would only really consider a ranked masters program - from a school like Warwick, Henley, Cranfield, etc.

Cardiff will be a more affordable place to live, in general terms, than Aberdeen.

Career-wise, I know a lot of RGU grads go into the construction and oil industries. Its energy specialization is very popular. Cardiff grads tend to go into financial services and the automotive industries. I know that Rolls Royce is a recruiter.

If you plan on trying to work in the UK post-graduation, be advised that it's very challenging for international students, because of visa restrictions. This is especially so for these unranked MBA programs. Many international students end up going back to their home countries after graduation, because it's so difficult to find a job and secure a visa.
