Manchester business school VS Leeds university business school

Hi! I'm a student from Singapore and I got con-offers from both Manchester business school (BSc IBFE) and Leeds University business school (BSc International Business). Leeds has an option year in which I can choose to turn it into a year in industry, and I heard that it really helps to enhance employablility after graduate, is that true? I personally would love to go to MBS because of its reputation and the city itself, but MBS does not offer this placement year stuff so should I choose Leeds then? (I also saw that MBS is like among those that are targeted by largest number of top employers @_@)
And one more thing I don't really understand is that Leeds is not ranked very high in both TIMES and QS Ranking this year, and the business school is not as good as MBS also, but strangely it has a entry requirement higher than MBS, does that mean it is actually better than MBS?

BOTH are really good!
And no, it just means they let a bigger variety of students apply :biggrin:
Good luck
