All of those programmes will give you an MBA. Do you have any specific goals?
What's "Frankfurt Business school"? Do you mean FSFM?

Well, if you don't have any more specific goals, then I'm not sure you need a top-tier MBA like those. If you want to stay in Germany, go to a great German school like ESMT, FSFM or WHU. If you want to move to the UK, then go there for a full-time degree in a great business school. Don't take an online MBA to move country.

Thanks for support
let me reply for few points
- the goal is to add the management and business dimension to my technical background , So i will be ready for managerial positions in the future
- I don't know where i will be after ex 5 years so i am looking for the more generic one which is well known here and there
- Full time MBA will not be possible as I am working full time
- is online MBA considered less than on site ?
do you think top-tier MBA is not the best option ? or at least other cheaper schools whill do the job ?

Because you don't have very specific goals, I'm not sure you need an MBA. You'll find everything in life easier of you have more specific goals.
A top-tier MBA is the best option if you want the sort of roles those people go into. However, different schools feed into different employers, countries and industries.
An online MBA is, generally, see as lesser than a full-time or or part-time degree taught on campus. To change your country using an MBA, you'll need to almost certainly give up your job and study fulltime.

Thanks again
Much appreciated
The Goal is to grow up with the consulting career and add the Business and managerial knowledge to my profile as i came from technical background
for me that is a clear goal :)
I chose the online as i will not be able to move close to the school
not looking for changing the country but gaining the knowledge
what i wanted to know if there is a big differences between the aforementioned schools or even if there are others can do the job
Thanks again
Much apprecaited

Yes, there are big differences between the designs of those degrees, the students they attract and the outcomes. If you just want the knowledge, why not take your MBA with the University of the People? That gives you a full MBA for a fraction of the price?
If you want to progress in Germany, a local qualification taught in German (an IHK qualification, for example) might make more impact.

PS I appreciate that you feel that you have specific goals but, in comparison to other candidates, they are not specific. You want to learn and progress: those are interchangeable with every other candidate. See https://find-mba.com/board/general-forum/specific-career-goals-help-you-to-pick-the-right-mba-64431 for example.

Thanks again
Much appreciated
I understood your point of view
So in such cases what do you advise ?
it MBA still the best option to gain the knowledge ? or maybe Master in management is enough ?

To gain the knowledge, the Illinois IMBA specialisation certificates will be enough.
