MBA in UK after BCOM Hons: LSE or work experience first?

Ans: Hello,

First and foremost, thank you for getting in touch with us. I am happy to hear that your son is a BCom with ACCA (the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants) affiliate and now wishes to pursue his Master’s in the UK. To answer your question first, I would like to tell you that it is an important decision to choose between Warwick University and the University of Edinburgh for a Master’s degree, especially when taking into account long-term employment opportunities and financial investment. Warwick University is well-known for its outstanding business school and its MSc in Business and Finance program, which provides a broad view on financial management and business strategies, possibly leading to a variety of managerial positions and consultancy possibilities. The University of Edinburgh on the contrary is renowned for its Accounting and Finance program, which offers a specialized concentration that could be useful for an auditing, accounting, or financial analysis job.

Considering your son’s background in BCom and ACCA, coupled with his professional experience at PwC, I would like to tell you that both the programs could be a good fit for his abilities. Nevertheless, his professional objectives might also play a key role in this decision. If your son intends staying in accounting or wishes to work as an auditor or financial analyst, the specialized program at Edinburgh could be more beneficial. On the other hand, if your son is thinking about a career in business strategy and consulting or is seeking more senior managerial positions, Warwick would be a better fit. Concerning monetary considerations, I would like to let you know that both the universities are esteemed and probably going to offer significant returns on investment in the form of improved employment prospects, although part-time work, scholarships, and meticulous budgeting will be crucial considering your middle-class background. Lastly, in order to make an educated choice, I would suggest that you assess the unique curriculum, career assistance, and networking possibilities at both the universities.
