University of Leeds(2022)/Lancaster University(2022)/Cranfield(2023) [#permalink] New post   18 May 2022, 01:41
Hi,

I received admissions as below:

University of Leeds($$ 9K Pounds) Fees 31250 Pounds--> 2022 intake. Pros--> Good Location and Job opportunities in Leeds, Well Known university
Lancaster University($$ 8.5K pounds) Fees 35000 Pounds --> 2022 intake. Pros --> Better Ranked, Good for strategic management Cons--> Location
Cranfield University ($$ --) Fees 40125 Pounds. Pros--> nearby London better ranked(QS) than above universities Cons--> have to defer MBA plan for 1 year and no scholarship
University of Exeter ($$ 3.5K Pounds) Fees 35000Pounds --> Pros--> Good track for sustainable management Cons --> Lower Ranked, Not well known outside UK, Location, Less Scholarship
University of Warwick --> No communication from University till now

I have automotive industry background(worked in design(5years) and project management(for 1year)

Planning to change career in IT/consulting in UK. Which college would you suggest? Shall I wait for Warwick results or go ahead with any of above college

(I am more inclined towards Leeds MBA)

All suggestions are welcome!!!

Thanks in advance

Leeds definitely seems a better option out of all, but taking experts' suggestions is always good.
ARINGO Admissionado we could use some insights.

I agree, Leeds sounds like the best option! The fees/scholarship don't seem to create a huge amount of separation, plus Leeds is relatively favorable given your options.

Have you attended any information sessions? What have you been able to gather that might help you ascertain the cultural fit? That's also very important.

Hi Amit0701,

Thanks for writing in.

Cranfield is definitely the most competitive admit. However, that you will need to defer your MBA plan makes it a bit complicated. Considering this as well as the fact that Warwick may or may not work out, Leeds is the best option.

Good luck!

Thank you all for your valuable guidance & suggestions
I think Leeds would be best option for me and will go ahead with the same.

and Admissionado, yes I have attended university's information sessions, in Leeds & Lancaster University, cohort is almost same kind, in Exeter it is more diverse(based on upcoming batch linkedin profile research) but Exeter is more expensive(around 10k pounds) than Leeds.
