Hey !!!
I have an admit from both manchester business school (with scholarship) and HKU LBS track for the session starting in fall 2016
My back ground is technical (2 years) with a transition to project people and finance management (3 years) in a family business environment in the Indian infrastructure segment.
I want a holistic mba experience with a special focus on finance.(gap area) Ideally would want to work at some renowned Organization before i head back !!!
My first preference would be a finance role after mba as thats an area which am really interested to expand on. Having said that do international firms hire right out of bchools for finance roles??. Also ...does NOT having a a big finance brand in your CV makes it impossible to land a finance job (irrespective of how you perform in school) in HK and UK ..???
I am aware my profile is more suited to a consulting job, so the next answer i seek is -- How is the consulting market in HK and UK for expats (esp indians)??? Does knowing mandrin in HK a prerequisite for a consulting role
both these schools seem close in terms of quality,faculty and rankings
other points that are baffling me in regards to this decision are:-
MBS:
Pros:-
1.Strong consultancy driven practical program with significant internship possibilities.
2. More group assignments and consulting projects and learning out side the class room which i prefer.
3. Slightly economical because of the scholarship.
4. Better brand recognition (maybe?)
5. Spaced out program with internshpi which lets you sink your teeth into the subject matters.
cons:-
1. UK visa situation for expats (esp indians) is pretty tight. Nearly rules out the possibility of landing a job in UK or converting an internship (finance or consulting)
2. Longer duration at 18 months.
3. Relatively weak in finance
HKU
pros:-
1. Very strong finance base. good job and stay back opportunities. (my applicability for the finance domain remains a question)
2. More expat friendly with regulations.
3.Tighter program so it finishes earlier.
4. Chance to spend 3 months in london LBS and network (don't know whether this a significant aspect or just eye wash)
cons:-
1. Incase the finance roles are difficult to convert owing to my background. Very limited other opportunities.
2. Mandarin and local language dependence in marketing and consulting roles.
3. Younger program so not much brand value outside HK and a slimmer alum directory.
Any suggestion/help/tips/correction/guidance or additional info that helps me narrow down the choice will help greatly.
thanks

I would say MBS for sure! It definitely possesses better "market value" than the one from HKU, not to mention, fitting into HK would require you to learn cantonese (not chinese), which is a language dialect not easy to master!
