I am a Professor in Banking from University of Bristol and I would like to give you some of my advice. I suggest you go to Cardiff because this is a big city where there are many respectable professors with high profile and very good facilities and support for research. Essex is good for pure economics but not for banking and finance. Loughborough is so so, a very new university with a short history. It is located in a rural area that I think you will feel bored if study there.

I would recommend you do logistic management. Very few people venture into that area which means that opportunity for employment would be high.


2
As you cannot spell Logistics, business and management might be a safer bet.


3
select first one because it will cover business and finance ( and check you intrest too) kia samjhay ;)


4
Business and finance.


5
Business and Finance gives you more options, making you more employable in a wider range of business activities. Logistic and supply chain is certainly more specific, and, if you are certain that there are such specific positions available, would give you an edge up in this field. You should do a bit more homework, and decide which option is best for you. All things being equal, I'd go for Business and Finance.

If it's a well respected finance program, and you plan to go into finance, then yes, it may be worth it. Positions in finance, at the big investment banks, pay WAY more than you are currently making. In the US - it's different in the UK - in the US, you'd make a base salary of about $80,000, with a bonus potential of $120,000+ per year. That'd be about £40k base, £60k bonus. But not all finance jobs are those finance jobs. What do you hope to do with that degree? Research the possibilities in the particular aspect of finance that you hope to enter, and you'll then have a better idea on whether that degree is worth it.

Your school must be regionally accredited in order for your degree to be considered genuine, and ideally, I *also* want your MBA program to be AACSB accredited. More and more employers now won't hire MBAs if their program wasn't AACSB. You can find a list of all AACSB accredited programs here: http://www.aacsb.edu/accreditation/accreditedmembers.asp But it's the regional accreditation that's vitally important. I'm not even sure if you'd get your green card if you went to UNVA, since it's unaccredited. If you did go there, you risk that employers will not consider your MBA to be genuine. And if you were to go back home to your country and try to use it, you risk it not being recognized. If you are a resident of Virginia, look to see if any public colleges in VA offer an MBA. If they do, then they're likely your least expensive *reputable* option, as you get the lower, in-state rate on tuition - often a very good deal. Most full time MBA programs in the US are two years, not one year. However, there are some accelerated programs, which may be able to get you done in a year or a bit more. ETA: In some states in the US, such as New Jersey, it's actually against the law for you to list an unaccredited degree on your resume. So no, you really couldn't hold your head high if you went to UNVA. I'm sorry. You'll have to look for other options.

Hi; UNVA has accreditation (AUAC which it is international), added to that they are in the process of getting SACS (which it is regional) , and many other improvements. Accreditation is not mandatory, if an institution dose not have accreditation ti dose no mean that its degree dose NOT worth. Please visit the following page; http://www.schev.edu/students/accreditation.asp And no employer will check if a school has accreditation or not, they only look to the skills and competencies. This is wrong too, that you will not your green card because of school accreditation !!!!!! UNVA has certification from government to operate as University and cab also provide Curricular Practical Training (CPT) on F-1 visa. 80% of current MBA student at UNVA work while studying in their field of study. Good Luck Kaveh

Any international accreditation is honorable, but we would like to mention the accreditation of AMBA (The headquarters of this organization is located in the UK). AMBA accreditation currently is given to 161 schools in 72 countries. AMBA is among 3 most influential in the world international accreditations, along with AACSB (USA) and EQUIS (Belgium). Their authority is checked in time, and accredited educational institutions by them, as a rule, are world-renowned brands.

Hi, There is absolutely no point doing an MSc. if you intend to do MBA later. M.Sc. is a very specialized course - unfortunately also very theoretical requiring massive mugging skills. Do take it with great caution - for most it is just simply not worth it. Go for an MBA after B.Sc. It's a very good combination - almost at par with BE + MBA. Even if you dont get thru a decent MBA college try taking some other course than MSc. Best of Luck!

If they are really top schools, such as Harvard or Stanford in the US or Oxford and London School of Business in England, then it should not matter. The number of top-tier schools in the US is much larger than in the UK. but it is impossible to answer your question. You make your choice and you take your chances. What the situation will be by the time you graduate is not predictable, and the job you get depends on too many other factors, such as your grades, location, economy, and much more. Explore the Official MBA Guide. It's a comprehensive free public service with more than 2,000 MBA programs listed worldwide. It allows you to search for programs by location (US, Europe, Far East, etc.), by concentration (finance, marketing, aviation management, health management, accounting, etc.), by type of program (full-time, distance learning, part-time, executive, and accelerated), and by listing your own criteria and preferences to get a list of universities that satisfy your needs. Schools report their accreditation status, tuition cost, number of students, class sizes, program length, and a lot of other data. Schools provide data on entrance requirements, program costs, program characteristics, joint degrees, and much more. You can use the Guide to contact schools of your choice, examine their data, visit their web site, and send them pre applications. You can see lists of top 40 schools ranked by starting salaries of graduates, GMAT scores, and other criteria.

Help! Post Graduate Studies Dilemma (Masters)

Help! Post Graduate Studies Dilemma (Masters)?
Hi there. I hold a Bachelor's Degree in Business Information Systems from my home country of Malaysia. I wouldn't call it a mistake but after almost four years of soul searching, I have come to the conclusion that IT is not my cup of tea and I am now seriously pondering a change in career. My options are: i) Master of Accounting (MAcc), ii) Master of Science in Finance (MSc), iii) MBA with concentration in either Accounting or Finance, iv) Master of Science in both Accounting & Finance. Considering the fact that I haven't got a pure Finance/Accounting background, which option should I really pursue? Secondly, I am torn between doing my Masters in the US or the UK, as graduate programs in both countries differ a great deal in terms of syllabus and subjects offered. Being an international student I would prefer a program which is recognised worldwide should I decide to try my luck in exotic places like Dubai/Shanghai etc as an expat later in my career. Many thanks. :)

I think it's great that you know that you want a change AND have some inspiration and direction on what you would like to do. As I'm sure you're aware, this sort of career transition will take some strategic planning and some resources. And, no, I don't think you're too old to make such a transition as long as you go into it with your eyes wide open and well-informed. You have at least 20 - 30 more years in your career! :) As a Career Coach, I always encourage my clients who are considering a career transition to do some informational interviews with folks who are in the job or field they want to go into. Many times you can connect with folks via LinkedIn, Facebook, Plaxo, etc. Even if you don't know the person, many people are willing to spend 20 - 30 minutes on the phone or at coffee to talk about themselves and their career. If you get turned down a few times after requesting informational interviews, don't be discouraged. There ARE people out there who want to help others. It's a bonus if you can find people in the accounting field who went into the field later in their career (like you would be doing). Use your friends and family network and ask them for help in finding such a person (or people) that you may be able to chat with. Reaching out on forums like this is a great start! You may find some CFAs who are answering questions that you could contact for an informational interview.

Here is a secret that colleges never tell you: There is no such thing (or nearly none) entry level financial analysts. Financial analysts are nearly always CPAs and you cannot become a CPA with anything other than an accounting degree, 2 years of public audit and passing the CPA exam. The only other way I have seen, is to take a job in accounting and work your way up. In case you haven't noticed, banks & investment companies are either dead, or dying. Laying off millions in great big waves. First the banks & mega-corporations decimated American manufacturing & now they are doing the same to their own industry.

I'd expect you'd receive a pretty good education at either.
