Hi everyone!

I am a Spanish Civil Engineer with more than 14 years experience working in a Spanish
construction group with multinational presence. I have developed my career in several countries in big infrastructure projects and I am looking for a change in my career. My goal is to accelerate my career within my actual company, in a different one or even changing the sector to other activities non related with construction in management positions. For this reason I am considering to apply to a MBA in the modality of Distance Learning due to my personal circumstances (job, family and geographical distance do not allow me other option).

I am considering some options in Europe, as the best online programs in the USA are out of my budget. My main options are:
- Warwick MBA Distance Learning
- IE Global Online MBA
- Imperial College London Global Online MBA
- Alliance Manchester Business School The Kelley-Manchester Global MBA

I would be very greatful if someone can advice me about the different options or share with me his experience about them.

Thanks a lot in advance.

Kelley-Manchester seems like a no-brainer to me because of the value of the sessions on campus and the double networks.

Thanks a lot for your reply Duncan.
In order to deal with several possibilities just in case, what is your opinion about the other options?

They are all great. Your goals don't seem very specific, so I don't think there's anything I can add to all the other posts about those programmes in this discussion board.

The generic advice is to find out which of these programs has the better / more profound network in your area / field.

To do this, you can take a look at LinkedIn and filter people with MBAs in the companies / industry you are looking at, and see which of these schools has the most representation.

If you are planning on staying in Spain, you probably already know that IE has a great network...
