<br />I just find all the good MBA schools in the UK far too expensive. I mean look at all the good or fairly better schools..I think you'll agree with me DT.. I think LBS and Carnfield are the only world class schools head logged with some of the best Ivy league schools in the US. Others like Said Business school and Cardiff are just too much. Then again an MBA in the UK or the US is more of a mid career degree, something to go for when one is moving from a mid level management position to a top level as in a CFO for a large company etc.
Have I got it right DT...
Oh yeah I think Oxford Brookes would fair better in Pakistan than the UK !

It's true that all 'good' MBA programmes in the UK and USA are expensive and may not be affordable to many students. But I see these programmes as an investment rather than a credential. It really depends on your aims and objectives that determine which school is better and which isn't. E.g. if one is looking to enter into the investment banking (or strategy/management consulting) arena and also targetting bulge bracket firms than I wouldn't waste my time and money anywhere but the top 10 f/t programmes in the list on this link,

I see an MBA degree as a brand recognition than a medium of knowledge. A large bunch of people go there to get access to the alumni records of a particular school and incase you are thinking what a weird reply I'm writing but trust me it is the case - I'm speaking from the experience!
Are you thinking donig an MBA?
