hi guys,i was thinking about msc finance and looking for universities..actually now im thinking about mba at anglia ruskin university... cos they accept even if u dont have enough work experience..well this is a new application without an enough work experince...i think about go for an MBA, simply because that one is known better internationally and With the MBA, generally, employers are happier to see that on paper..i send email to anglia ruskin university and i said my gpa is 2.44/4 (64/100) and i have 6 months work experience...and they emailed me and say all of them is enough to accept u for an mba programme if u hold IELTS 6.5 or equivalent u can apply now...so i just want to inform u,if u dont have enough work experience but still think about mba u can have a look this uni...

and also if u know something about anglia ruskin uni,reputation,campus life,cambridge life,international student population ..etc.. plssss inform me i need that..thank u..

Please, please, please; do not go to that university.

well yeah i know http://www.anglia.ac.uk/ruskin/en/ho...ess_admin.html it says 2 years min but as i told before they accept without enough work experinece too...but u can emailed them..also liverpool,john moore uni has same application too...

and...

why did u say dont go?im really confuse now..cos i prefer to go for an mba rather than msc finance thats why im thinking about that uni..but if anglia ruskin reputation is so bad and therefore going to another uni for msc finance is better than going to anglia for mba then well maybe i can think twice :s-smilie:

what r your suggestions guys.... im soooooooooooo confuse :s-smilie:

It would be more beneficial to study a Masters at a good university than an MBA at an ex-polytechnic.

I was reading some stats in the Guardian today, that ARU has 99% state schoolers! The highest proportion of state school pupils at any uni.

Just incase you didn't know, I just found it interesting.

Incidentally, the university with the fewest state school pupils is a university dedicated to agriculture ._.

Cambridge is alright I suppose. It's quite small but due to the popularity because of the other uni there is a selection of high street and designer shops. The grounds of Cambridge uni is very pretty....and anglia ruskin looks very modern. It's near to Norwich which has more to offer but travelling back and forth by train is expensive. It's also close to London. I can't think of much else to say.

I guess it depends on what you think of league tables, but Anglia Ruskin is near the bottom. I think you are far better off doing an MSc in Finance at a good university than getting an MBA at a poor university, or even an MBA at a good univeristy where it is difficult to get in (this often demonstrates the quality of the degree and its value). I guess it also depends what sort of job you want at the end of it. If you want a highly paid job in the City you probably wont stand much of a chance against LSE, Oxbridge etc graduates as the quality and value of their degree is far higher. However if you want to work abroad somewhere which looks favourably upon British degrees then it probably is worth doing the degree at Anglia Ruskin. I know I'll prob get a lot of stick from others for saying all that but really, if you look at why the majority of MBA degrees that require 3 years experience etc is because they want the best candidates because this will ensure that the degree remains high value and creates graduates highly sought after by employers.

I live not far from Cambridge and the nightlife is good, with a good mix of people. Lots of shops and parks, a really nice city that's not too overcrowded. I know a couple of people at Anglia Ruskin and they seem to have a good time there.

Experience in MBA's is essential, because a lot of in-class discussion is about shared experiences. How do you manage XXX in this situation and how has this worked? People from different industries and different functional areas can provide multiple insights. A fresh graduate with no experience can only contribute theory. Management is not theory, its based on practical hands-on experience with applied theory. How you treat a person is different depending on the context, and without the context or the experience of the context, a fresh graduates contribution is poor. It's quite easy to see in an MBA classroom, whose working experience is of lower quality by the amount of contribution they provide to the rest of the class.

As for British degrees. The MBA market is a completley different world. Outside of the UK, there are many highly competitive schools. All good MBA's will provide recruitment reports and give you and indication of its Alumni network. It's clear from these statistics that there are currently 5 tiers :-
1) LBS
2) Oxbridge
3) Manchester, Lancaster, Tanaka, Warwick, Cranfield, Cass, Ashridge
4) Lot's of others - Bath, Nottingham, Ediburgh, Strathclyde, Leeds
5) Everyone else

Tier 4 downwards are strictly Local MBA's
Tier 3 is National and decent chance of INternational opportunity
Tier 2 is sub-Elite
Tier 1 is Internationally competitive

On the continent, there are many schools in the top 2 Tiers such as IMD, INSEAD, IESE, IE, HEC, Gallen which would give you better prospects than Tier 3 and below.

The key is to do your research, where do you plan to work, how can the school help me?

Insead is not Tier 2 at all. It is highly competitive and is competing vs top 3/7 in the US.
Compared to LBS it is really better.

...and IMD is not very far from LBS in a ranking (with a focus on industry vs finance for LBS).

Correct, hence why i stated top 2 tiers :smile:

LBS, IMD and INSEAD can be considered the heavyweights of Europe for MBA's

I do not think so. So far the classmates that I have known all have several years of working years. So their working experiences should be helpful for them to take the course.
