有很多人去英国商学院就读，大家再开始申请的时候应该都会遇到以下几个“纠结”：
1、英国教学质量都是ok的，去哪所商学院没差，随便选一个吧
2、Reading, 谢非，兰卡，爱丁堡，商科都牛掰啊，到底去哪个啊
3、就盯着排名，就盯着排名，就盯着排名……
其实解答这几个困惑，得搞清楚以下几个方面：
1，你是商科！请问你是management还是fiance?
很多学弟学妹加我QQ后都在问：“我学金融，到底去兰卡，还是去reading啊?”我毫不犹豫的回答，去reading啊!就这两个学校来说，商科金融都不差，但是97分还是比95分好，对不？所以reading的fiance & accounting依托ICMA强大的后盾，其在这个领域的整体实力肯定优于兰卡!Ok，这条脉络理清了自然就有，英国金融教育界的七驾马车：牛、剑、LSE、IC、华威、CASS、ICMA of reading；以及管理界的：牛剑、华威，IC(这四个没办法就是大大牛)，BATH、兰卡、圣安、leeds、杜伦、伯明翰、克兰菲尔德、曼大、爱丁堡，还有一个奇葩bradford；还有marketing界的：斯特拉斯克莱德。
所以你来了莱斯特、reading、南安的金融offer，去哪？肯定去reading；来了兰卡、利物浦、诺丁汉的管理offer，肯定去兰卡！(个人观点)
2，课程设置，这个千万别忽视！
就以management msc这个专业来说，我们做个对比：
兰卡斯特Management MSc | 杜伦Management MSc |
Compulsory modules: Accounting and Finance Operations Management Economics for Managers Organisational Behaviour and Human Resource Management Introduction to Business Analytics Marketing Learning to Manage Management in Practice Strategic Management Research Methods Research Project (organisation or library based) Pathway modules: Management pathway Management of Organisational Change Plus two of the following: Business Analysis and Process Consulting Business Ethics and Society International Management Issues Strategic Management pathway Strategic Implementation and Process Global Corporate Level Strategy Value Creation and Innovation Marketing pathway Marketing Communications Business and Consumer Behaviour Strategic Marketing Project Management pathway Project Management Discourses of Project Management Applied Project Management | Core and elective modules The course is designed around six core modules that provide the foundation of knowledge essential in ** successful leaders. Business Economics and Accounting Organisational Behaviour Strategy Strategic Marketing Management Operations and Supply Chain Management Research Methods You’ll then choose two from a wide range of elective modules, so you can broaden your experience or tailor your course to suit your interests and chosen career. Elective modules reflect current managerial thinking, academic debate and the research interests of the School and as such are subject to change. Those currently available include: Business Ethics 1: Ethical Leadership Business Ethics 2: Society and Sustainability Buyer Behaviour and Marketing Communications Change Management Consulting Corporate Governance Decision ** for Operations East Asian Business and Management Employee Relations Financial Management Financial Planning and Control Global Business Innovation and Technology Management International Study Tour New Venture Creation Strategic Brand Management |
所以，对比就可以看出，杜伦有一门Operations and Supply Chain Management，而兰卡没有开这门，所以你想多学习供应链管理方面的知识，可能杜伦是个好的选择。再者，杜伦后面有很多关于金融方面的课程，而兰卡后面有更多项目管理方面的选择，so如果你也想获得更多金融的知识就去杜伦吧，想关注更多于project management 那就去兰卡吧。
因此，选学校并不是，那么简单的，也不是一蹴而就的，得多关注关注细节！
3，师资力量。
很多人就问了，这个区别大吗？真的很大！如果你喜欢一个老师，或者喜欢他的学术背景，认为这个老师之前的研究领域对我将来很有帮助，那就投靠他吧；如果你的某个老师之前在某某大企业做过高管或也是现任高管，与此同时，你也是注重实践的学生，那就去他的怀抱下吧！这个相关信息都是可以从学校的官方网站上查到的！

资料都是直接在各学校官网上拷贝的。这2位老师都是大牛，但是具体的领域也是不一样的，就看你喜欢谁，甚至你是大叔控，就去了cass，当然这是玩笑话。决定去哪所大学之前，还得看看师资力量，学校真不是那么容易就定下来的！
先说这么多，有想了解的可以直接跟小u沟通。
