Dear all,
as this is my first post, I'd like to thank everyone for the invaluable information I've found here. I have been reading the discussions board extensively and it helped me narrow down the choices, I've already applied and got accepted to most so the decision needs to be made fast.
I'm hoping for your help as I'm really confused at this point and the clock is ticking. My story is complicated - I am an EU citizen living in Canada but I don't intend to stay here for more than another 3 years. I don't work in management at the moment (immigrant).
After 3 years in Canada, I'm planning to live in Asia (primarily China) for a while and then I'd come back to Europe, most likely the UK or Ireland.
The question that arises is - which one of the two (Bradford / Illinois iMBA) would be more universal and recognizes by the employers in both Canada and Europe?
I'd like to invest in a degree that's recognized here in Canada too, as we all know how plans change and I might end up settling down here. Canada is a member of the Commonwealth but I'm not sure if the degree from Bradford will be valued by the employers here.
I am aware that the Bradford program is triple accredited so it would make sense that it'd have more value in the eyes of the European employers. Canadian MBA is out of the question because the ones that have some value are way over my budget.
I cannot find either on the FT rankings for this year, which probably isn't a good sign. There's an article about Illinois purposely withdrawing from the rankings.
Of course, I'm open to an accredited third option within the same budget but I'm afraid it might make things even more complicated.
Thank you so much for reading and I'm hoping for your assistance!
Kind regards,
Legionnaire
