Re: Cranfield or Warwick MBA [#permalink]
My experience with Cranfield regarding 2020 admissions has not been good.
I had an offer from Cranfield to study from Sep'20. They are least bothered to address your concerns. Average reply time from their admission team is 4-5 days & at times, you are required to send multiple reminders. If you reach out to their management, they will give generic replies. During Covid-19 time, they firstly told their incoming students in last week of June'20 that course delivery will be through both online & offline modes, and they also said that they will be accommodating individual requests from prospective students impacted due to covid-19. Post this, then sent another mail around mid July'20, saying that online option has been cancelled & made it mandatory for all students to come to their campus for on-campus studies by 23th Oct'20. If someone can't come to campus latest by 23rd Oct'20, they simply told them to defer to next year.

Moreover, students who had paid the deposit to them based on their Jun'20 communication wherein they said that they will be doing online course delivery also, university didn't bother to inform them for deposit refund. I know many of them who are now requesting university's admission team to refund their deposit.

Cranfield hasn't updated itself enough in last 4-5 years. It seems their acceptance rate is 100% as they are giving admission to almost everyone who applies. On LinkedIn, you can see many Cranfield graduates without jobs.

Please check "SCM Journal" ranking of universities based on research done in last 10 years. You will see that with each passing year from 2010 onwards, Cranfield's ranking has gone done while Warwick has maintained itself in Top 3 in UK.

Infact, FT has removed Cranfield from top 100 business school list this year.

Warwick is must stronger, globally renowned and is very selective in giving admissions. Their class profile is more experienced & most of the alumni are working in Tier 1 consulting or MNC companies.

Re: Cranfield or Warwick MBA [#permalink]
Go to WBS

This is a very easy choice. Cranfield isn't known as a finance school, it's an engineering school that has added a few financing offerings. Most of your job options post-school will be in the finance division at various engineering firms. Expect zero help from the school and alums if you want to go the banking/consulting route or other 'high end' MBA jobs. Very weak brand in finance.

Warwick is a solid UK finance school, one of the best outside the tier 1 (Oxbridge/LBS/LSE/etc). Many LDN banks recruit there and placement is very strong. It has a great brand.
