Hi Everyone,

I am inclined to enrolling for the EBS Edinburg MBA because the course cost is 9.5k GBP when compared to Bradford MBA which costs 16.5 GBP. I am not fully convinced on spending another 7k GBP to enrol Bradford MBA, which i understand fares better with its accreditation.
Another course that has looks affordable(12k GBP), but below the accreditation rank is the one offered by escem France.
Based in Qatar and of indian origin, I have close to 8 years oil and gas experience in an MNC service company. Not sure if a b-school brand as such would add value on my profile.

Look forward to your thoughts and advice on course selection ...

I don't see why anyone would take the Heriot Watt MBA when internationally accredited MBAs are so much more respected and powerful. ESCEM is certainly a safer choice than HW, but Illinois at $20k seems like amazing value.

Thanks for the new insight Duncan

There are two parts of this equation: what you pay for the program and what kind of salary increase you can expect to get after graduation. If you can get this data from HW and compare it to the readily available data on Bradford MBAs—found in the FT online ranking—then you'll see why the Bradford program costs more.
