Hi baccardisprite,

I am particularly interested in Business Analytics (combination of Operation Research and Data Analysis) as I love graphs, analysis, optmizing techniques etc... I admire the way Business Analytics can be used in varied fields like studying Consumer behaviour, Credit Modelling or to Supply Chain..

I have seen the courses for MSc in Business Analytics in Manchester, Lancester and Warwick Business School,

Its also there as MBA concentration in Chicago(Booth), Maryland and Purdue....

I have got 710 in GMAT and have 2 years of work experience till Date as Software Engineer in a Bank... I am from NIT Trichy where I had managed many events like Department Symposium, Tech Fest etc... In company, I hav introduced and implemented many Process Improvement Initiatives for my team..

While I would certainly want to lead the research and consultancy in Analytics in whichever firm I join later, I am not sure I should go for MBA with Analytics concentration now itself... As I thought I should work in that field before getting MBA or something If I feel it necessary later..

If you can please help me with the reputation of the MSc courses in above 3 mentioned UK Business School, then I can make an informed decision.. Apart from that I am more inclined to come back to India after my Masters, so how well will my degree from this UK universities be taken? And if they are not taken well here, what are the job prospects of MSc courses at other places..

Thanks in advance for all your help...

hi..
i have got through London School of Business and Finance / LSBF for it's Msc-Finance program beginning 24th Sept 2009.

The program is under collaboration with Grenoble Graduate School of Business (GGSB), France...

Anyone know more about the program..?
any of u going for it..?

reasons why i should accept or reject it..
hav a BBA(Hons) degree from St.Xavier's College, Kolkata with a 73%..

can someone guide me to a separate thread for it.. if it exists..?

mayank,
You seem to have done fairly well in academics. I don't know whether you have written GMAT and what score you got.
Looking at your BBA %, I think you can get into better schools than not well known schools like LSBF. I got confused between LBS and LSBF. I guess that is one of the things the school hopes for.
I would recommend that you target more well known schools like LBS, HEC, Bocconi etc, provided you have a decent GMAT score.



umm.. its not tht.. school aint hopin for such confusion..
we students confuse ourselves by abbreviating everything..
According to FT Rankings .. Grenoble is a good B-School.. with triple accreditations and ranked highly across Europe..
it offers its courses at Grenoble(France), London and Singapore...

So thats why.. i want to know more so as to evaluate the London option..

Hi Baccardi,

Thanks for valuable inshights thus far as it seems you are the encyclopedia as far as the MBA prep goes..Hats off to you sir...

I am 27 year old BCOM graduate (2001) went for expereince than a plain MBA.. Joined ICICI group, worked for 2 years, moved to Bajaj capital and worked there for a year before moving to HSBC bank. HSBC has been successful right from the start i,e from Asst Sales Manager in Indore to Sales Manager - Personal financial services in Mysore and then to NRI Relationship manager Newyork..

I seriously wanted to pursue MBA from US but given the conditions there and the cost of studies I had to give up.. Due to some issues I left the US ( PERSONAL though) and now in India currently. I have now serious plans to go for higher studies after 7 years of Work ex either from the UK or the AUS... My aim is to take up assingments in client facet roles, econometrics, or in finance roles in the UK.. JCurrently,job is not an issue here for me but a solid contentual degree does matter with a prospective job ahead and I wanted to prepare for the right B school and spare a year that too outside India avoiding 2 yr courses and Ex MBA that ask me to join any bank or company again(employed) and approach them for selection.. I guess doing MBA from abroad especially from the UK will be good but which institute and scope over there is a question? Could you please throw some light on this issue and help me understand the same..

I am currently unemployed right now and willing to grab some kills during the mean time to approach the coming times with due dillegence rather than joining any bank and running for them.

WHat may be the expenditure I should estimate and the conditions of financial assitance if get selected from any top institute in the UK?I am considering around 5 years of stay in the UK with an aim to return back to India and start up consulting in financial planning business..

Your views will be appreciated..

Regards,

Krishna.

Hello everyone,
I am a final year engg student pursuing a degree in computer science.I am in a very confused stage right now as I have no clear idea of what to do next.I know that I would like to do an MBA from a good college in US after a few years of working and gaining the required experience.I know that if I start working in the indian IT industry and then i later apply for an admission into a good business school i will fall into the same pool of applicants with exactly the same profile and will not have anything to distinguish my self from them.
(BE IT male 3-5yrs of exp)

Now I am considering doing a masters course offered by the engg schools in the US and then working for 3-5 yrs. I am hoping that this would give me an edge over the other applicants and would get admitted into the top 10-15 b-schools in the US.It would also provide the oppurtunity to work at a better level.

This forum has a lot of usefull information and i hope to get usefull advice from the people present here.

10th-89%
12th-90%
engg avg pune univ-60%

Have avg extra curriculars

Thanking all in advance

Hey, I passed out of college(B.E-computer science and engineering) on may-2009.
My joining is not until Jan-2010(Infosys).
Sitting idle gives me a new thought everyday about my career.
A very serious idea which has stayed for a bit longer in my mind is
M.S in M.I.S in U.S.A by giving G.R.E(and TOEFL)
I hate technical stuff beyond a degree(but love management to the extreme) 3days of research suggests MS in MIS is more management than technical.
I need guidance from seniors about this

1)Is this really more or less equivalent to M.B.A?
2)Can I get into a good college like(texas A&M; university) without any work-ex?
3)Would 2 yrs of work-ex help me get better aid/scholarship?
4)Which are the other good colleges offering this course
5)Is M.S. in marketing more preferable?

kindly help me soon as am planning to take up GRE and TOEFl latest by October end
Thanks a million

hello all
i got some information regarding the course in business like M.Sc Finance, management etc that for getting admitted in universities of UK one should strictly have an experience or graduation in Finance for M.Sc Finance.

Is it true?
any Experiences?

hi,
u r both right & wrong over here! if u r considering places like LBS & only LBS then u definitely need a finance background! but for the other universities, i can assure u that u do not need a finance background! I had an admit offer from Queen's University, Belfast which happens to be a part of the Russell Group(the Ivy league in the Uk) for their MSc. in Finance program & i have absolutely no background in finance. likewise, for LSE coz one of my friend is studying there right now! hope that helps!


cheers

Hi Baccardisprite,

First of all ,Thanks for excellent info posted on this thread.

I am 26 yrs / F with 4 yrs exp. in IT and a short 3 month stint in Europe.
I require answers to some of the questions in my mind over future work/study.
I have an interest on the finance side and would like to pursue a 1 year exec MBA in finance but it does not seem a good option right now due to the economic downturn.
A second line of thought was to do an MBA which would not be a complete deviation from my 4 yrs of job.Probably an MBA in operations or in IB.
But due to the current situation , I think ( but i am not sure) that the market for this is saturated in Europe.
As per my analysis of the current scenario and from info gleaned from internet,techno managerial jobs are relatively easier to come by for non EU candidates fresh out of college.
So the techno managerial courses as you mentioned in the beginning 1/2 posts in the thread seem a better idea.
The good ones Georgia Tech / Stanford are US univs and at this point of time don't seem to be good options due to the Visa rules.
I am not sure if pursuing a course from Europe such as from Telfts would be relevant only to Holland in the long run.
I am done with the Indian IT service industry and need a change of track.

Please please guide me and correct me in my perceptions where I am wrong.

Thank you so much !!

Waiting for your reply !!

how good is the masters in scm programme offered by Ross. Considering the fee, does it have a good ROI.
is the course worth the effort for a guy with three yrs experience...

thanks,
vishnu

Depends on economy, quality of education, reputation of university, and motivation to follow up on your ambition whatever the odds! Academic standards in Singapore are pretty good though the job market probably isn't.

Think about what in MIS you want to do before taking the plunge.

Please be very diligent in your research.

First - please write proper sentences in proper English. It will help for others to understand your articulation and thoughts.

CFA and CIMA are financial qualifications alright, but not exactly comparable. The CIMA is a Management or Cost accouting and internal financial reporting qualification, and equivalent to India's ICWAI (CWA qualification). The CFA is an investment management qualification i.e putting your investors money (solid or liquid assets) to work in various areas of a financial market.... Certain academic basics of both degrees (accounting, economics and corporate finance) are similar, but they diverge at an advanced level. The CFAs go into advanced areas in bonds (debt), equities and derivatives in the financial markets, while Cost / Management accountants become CFOs and / or financial controllers. Getting either qualification is academically difficult and professionally demanding (specific experience in the field is required alongside passing the exams, in order to gain certification). Neither is particularly easy.

Do more research, think about your career path and then decide the qualification you need towards the path you choose.

Good luck

Sorry for the delay, and you have probably accepted (?).

CASS is a good london-based school. If you're interested in finance, a good place to go to. However job prospects will depend on the pace of the economic recovery.

Good luck
