We welcomed the usual array of b-school hopefuls to our MBA applicant drinks last night, running the gamut from a marketing agency head, to an airline exec to a luxury label fashionista.

The fashionista in question, a Christian Dior senior sales person, arrived in London from Prague one year ago. She was keen on an MBA or Masters program that would propel her career in the luxury goods industry. However, the cost of many of the programs in the UK had come as a surprise.

One lawyer, who headed legal and compliance at a small trading firm, but wanted to switch out of law, wondered if he should do an MBA or just bite the bullet and use the cash to set up his own business.

An entrepreneur from the education sector was planning to sell his London-based business after seven years and head to business school in either Hong Kong or India. His plan was to scope out new business opportunities in these fast-growing markets and, ideally, go more global with his second enterprise.

A business analyst at British Airways, who originally hails from India, was thinking hard about applying to business school in Canada. The word on the street is that Canada is currently friendlier to graduates from India who are looking for jobs.

Graduates of London Business School, Cass Business School, Grenoble Ecole de Management, the Open University and the University of Technology Sydney were on hand to share their MBA experiences.

One recent graduate of Cass Business school’s part-time MSc in Finance and Investment praised the school’s careers services which, she said, helped her find a financial accounting role at Russian firm Gazprom while she was still studying.

One Cambridge grad, the founder-manager of a successful UK marketing agency, complained about a top US school he had visited recently. At a recent campus open day in the US he said the professors and students were uncomfortably enthusiastic about all things MBA...

Best Journalism school in Europe

When I first stepped onto the campus of City, University of London, I knew I was in for a ride - and not just on the Tube! With its vibrant energy and an impressive repertoire of programs, City U became my home away from home. The Journalism program was kind of a big deal. Rumour was that we were the best in Europe! The lecturers were not just experts in their field; they’re practically journalistic royalty. They were invested, passionate, and had a knack for turning the most flat press release into a riveting news story. With their guidance, I’ve learned to navigate the chaotic world of media like a pro. The campus was a melting pot of every culture, being that we had such a diverse international crowd. Being in the heart of London, I had the world at my fingertips - there was always a new corner to explore, a hidden gem of a cafe to discover, or a street performer! City, University of London wasn't just a university; it was a chapter in my life story that I’ll never forget.

Learning environment

The teacher-learner ration is manageable, giving each learner a chance to gain personal attention. It is also easier following up on the progress of a student, as the numbers per class is not large. the conducive environment for learning includes clean classes, standard desks, world class instructional facilities and the opportunity to engage lecturers even after their sessions. The team spirit at City is above board, with learners getting chance to learn both from instructors and colleagues. This is the university of choice; the place to be.

Classes

I liked that each class had a manageable number of learners, making the professor-learner ratio favor knowledge acquisition. I also liked that study schedules were manageable, and not overwhelming. The focus on talents and gifts even within the learning environment makes it possible for learners to achieve the best of their potential, and this has worked to the advantage of those that have schooled at City, University of London

Classes

The diversity at City University facilitates interactions and is a direction toward the unity of the world. The classes are well built to match the number and needs of all students regardless of the elements of diversity that set people apart. The use of technology in delivery makes learning even more interesting and achievable. At City University there is no distinction pegged on the issues that make people unique.

The team of lecturers at the Uiversity are well experienced. Their level of insight and the methodologies of delivery works for the interes of the leaeners. My learning experience was largely boosted by the level of knowledge of the professors at the institution, and their passion to transfer the same to learners. I appreciate every class I attended because of the level of insight I was able to gather

The best university I’ve been to

The campus and the people I've met have made it a wonderful experience. I was reared in a small town with a graduating class of only 88 individuals, so moving to City University was a huge adjustment for me. My dorm has more residents than my whole high school combined! I enjoy the atmosphere here, and everyone is so friendly. Outstanding academic options and a stunning campus. Really great from beginning to end. The educators genuinely love what they do, and the students are ready to learn. On or around college, there is always something to do with friends, and the social scene is particularly warm.

Economics and Politics

Incredibly amazing university, the way they polish students and help them boost their morale and think intellectually is worthwhile. Many universities have international partnerships to allow exchanges between their students. The most obvious subjects for these opportunities would be those that involve languages, and the study of people and places.
