Nottingham and Cranfield stand out to me.

Hi! I also have the same problem. I also want an MSc degree and I already got accepted in Hult Intl Business School, University of Sheffield, and Kingston University. Still waiting for the results from University of Manchester, KCL and Henley. Also applied for Cardiff but I came across some posts saying that Cardiff is not that of a good B-school. I dont know which of those schools are better. Their rankings vary and info from their pages are ofc somewhat biased.

Pls help.

What are your goals? Cardiff is academic and research-driven, which is good if you want that, but not strong for placement into MBA-type jobs.

I plan to do a taught course in International business/management. So I'm guessing that if there's some research component in the course, it'd be geared towards the dissertation part. I have a 3.3 GPA and scored an 8.0 on IELTS.

All the options are taught courses, so they all need your goals. Do you have any more specific goals, for example about how you want to use the course?

Planning to expand my parents' business and set up my own as well. But before that, I would like to work first in another company since I've no work experience yet.

Well, if you want to work outside your home country Nottingham and Cranfield stand out. Those have strong relationships with recruiters.

I think it was another person who applied for Cranfield and Nottingham. I also checked their programs, and I found MSc. Management and Business in Nottingham pretty good (but it requires a non-refundable application fee like Manchester unlike the others that I applied in). Also, I think I applied in too many unis now. Should've thought twice about applying to the previous schools I've mentioned. Do you think I should still apply at Nottingham? Or does applying at Hult, Sheffield, Manchester, Reading, and KCL enough?

As for Cardiff's MBA, I just got accepted (just 4 days after applying), so I got discouraged.

Because you're especially keen on finding work here, I think Manchester is slightly the strongest option of the schools you have applied to (See http://rankings.ft.com/businessschoolrankings/masters-in-management-2013 ), with Reading in second place. I think Nottingham is very close to them. The others are fine, but they don't have strong career placement.
