Hi, I will be very grateful if you can help me analysis my situation.
I've got an offer with a scholarship from Manchester, and a waitlist from Imperial that they are still in processes, so I will need to confirm my offer with Manchester soon while waiting for Imperial's final decision.
Originally, I was very looking forward to Imperial, mainly for 2 reasons: 1st is the brand of the University. 2nd is for the location. London is definitely an attractive factor, especially my family is also in this area. Unfortunately, it didn't go smoothly and I had to wait now. But it's probably running out of time with Manchester, I really want to know if I should give it a try to wait a bit longer for Imperial?
I was just wondering what do you think the MBA of Manchester vs Imperial in the following areas:
1. Which Program suits better for someone plans to change career to consulting or other industries. Or even finance. Generally how helpful the program is for someone wants to change career.
-Imperial is 12 month, Manchester provides flexibility in choosing from 12/15/18 month. I don't need a visa working in the UK after MBA. So probably won't have too much pressure of visa limitation for the job hunting.
-Manchester promotes itself as the only program provides 3 live projects working with real clients up to 600 hours. It also got an international business project of three months working for a real company outside of UK. Plus internship.
Imperial provides internship too. They also have one Consulting project of three months. All of the rest studying are more in the classroom.
2. Brand impact in career hunting.
Which one of these two Business Schools has a strong performance in their career service that arranges recruitment on campus or resources for MBA students? Or which one of the brands plays more impact to employers?
Thank you very much for your input, I think it will be very valuable for not only me but also many people who consider MBA in the UK. I've actually found out some people did have the same struggling in choosing between these two when LBS and Oxbridge are not the choices. As these two are quite close in MBA ranking these years.
Thanks again!

Hi there,
1st of all the information that I will share to you is based on my researches on discussions from forums and webpages as I do not have any prior experience as a Manchester or Imperial student myself.
From what I have found Manchester is definitely a good B-school, but it is slightly inferior to Imperial in terms of its reputation. However I do not think that the reputation gap is big enough for an employer to discard you in a hypothetical scenario where you are being compared with Imperial graduates purely due to the reputation difference between Manchester and Imperial.
The main point of doing internship is exposing yourself to potential employers, I get the feeling that Manchester is doing a bit better in this regard with its 3 live projects that you mentioned and a 3 months internship will add to your CV as well.
For me, while Imperial is somewhat more reputable and prestigious, Manchester is not that far ahead. Imo, its kinda not worth it to ditch Manchester with scholarship for an Imperial that gives no certain answer. If you get a 2:1 or ideally a 1:1 on your MBA in Manchester, there is no reason for MBB or other big MNCs not to give you a chance of at least an internship.
Hope this helps.
