MSc Management Cass vs Warwick vs UCL vs Imperial - and Why?

Hi,

I have been made an offer for the Cass MSc Management and Warwick MSc Management for Business Excellence program. After reading the previous posts online, I am of the opinion that Warwick is better than Cass, based on reputation, job opportunities, and school community/student community.

I am also awaiting a decision from Imperial (had my interview 11 days ago) and UCL, for their MSc Management programs. I feel confident that they will accept me. However, CASS needs a response within 8 days and in this time, I might not get a reponse from UCL and Imperial. The tuiton costs are fairly similar for all four alternatives. CASS granted me a academic scholarship of 2000 GBP.

I would be very glad if you could share your views and help me make a list from 1-4 (one is the best alternative), and why.

PS: I am from Norway, and my primary interest is in business development jobs. I am aspiring to get an internship in the UK during or after graduation within retail, operations, consulting, marketing or strategy.

Kind regards,
Hans-Magnus A. O.

It is unfair of Cass to push you into a decision. You could get your own back by accepting them, then rejecting them if you get another offer which you prefer.

I'd suggest waiting. Warwick>>>>Cass and accepting Cass then finding out you have an offer from Imperial would be tragic.

"jneill", are you sure about this? They are stating that I would have to pay a 2000 GBP deposit fee, which I won't get refunded if I decide to reject my offer.

Miserable *******s! Hmmm would you want to attend an institution which acts like that?

Yeah, its something alot of the universities do

Update: Imperial just put me on their MSc Management waiting list. Do you guys know anything about the chances of getting in, being on this list?

I will turn down CASS while waiting for LSE and UCL.

Not for Management. All three are on a par.

Im talking about future employment prospects. Warwick is a strong target.

Cass has the advantage of being located in London and Imperial is a target as well.

Imperial and possibly even UCL will be better choices. But Warwick has a good business school and location has little advantage since banks visit and host networking events in Warwick anyway. Besides, it's only an hours train journey from London.

Imo Cass is a better choice than UCL but slightly worst than Imperial and LSE.

True Warwick has a business school that world renowned.

Well UCL is a target whereas Cass is a semi target. Perhaps the dept is better but reputation matters for employment. But yeah I get where you're coming from.
