Dear Kush,
it is great that you have so many offers. But... why did you apply at so many schools? It appears - and it is just my assumption - as if you have not prepared whyt you want properly. Instead, it looks like you applied at as many schools as possible - without an in-depth reflection - and now you don't know what to do.
I strongly recommend you to work through my new MIM eBook and apply the MSID Methodology to find your BEST Master. Without such a structured approach you will make an unreflected decision based on some opinions and whether your decision is satisfying or not will be subject to pure luck.
Best wishes

Hi thanks for the reply. I want to go into marketing sector . First after completion of the course I want to do a entry level job in marketing or it may also in bt during my studies
I want to be marketing managerafter gaining expI am decided with the course but its the country n university in which I want to do course.
Some universities have good courses but its 1 yr course where I cannot gain work experience like internship like manchester business school.
Nova , grenoble have good courses with internships too but they aren't that much in ranks as compared to manchester and cranfield som.There is a problem UK universities don't offer much work experience practically like internships or something where as other European business school does . I don't have work experience so it will be better if I gain some during masters.
Also r there jobs for freshers in UK ? Coz I don't think top employers would pick a person with work experience .
So I was asking which option should I chose?Thanks

Hi there,
I am not sure if I follow your argument. A Master in Management - with or without a concentration in marketing - isd a qualification for people WITHOIUT work experience (or just some months). They do the MIM precisely to ENTER the job market as BEGINNERS. Everyone has to do this eventually and the Master in Management is a good qualification for that. Companies come to campus to recruit BEGINNERS. But of course, schools differ:
- about the effectiveness of their career service
- the companies coming to campus fairs
- the reputation among employers
etc.
Did you follow my advices in my eBook yet? Did you interview alumni and current students from your target schools and ask them about their opinion on the career service? Did you ask your target companies about what they think of these schools? Did you check the schools' websites or ask the career guys about which firms come to campus to recruit? Did you ask the schools career service about where their graduates found a job, how fast, and how much experience they have with placing students of your nationality?
It's time to work - and I gave you some lead questions now...
Best
Thomas
