MBA from Leeds University Business School vs University of Edinburgh — Worth it for an Indian student?
Hi everyone,
I’m an Indian applicant currently evaluating MBA offers/options from Leeds University Business School and University of Edinburgh Business School, and I wanted honest opinions from people who have studied there, know alumni, or are currently working in the UK.
A little about me:
- Indian student with work experience in tech
- Looking for strong career growth, international exposure, and long-term ROI
- Interested in consulting, tech management, or strategy roles after MBA
- Considering factors like:
- employability/job opportunities for international students
- brand value in the UK and globally
- alumni network
- post-MBA salaries
- visa sponsorship chances
- overall student life and networking opportunities
I know Edinburgh has a stronger global brand overall, but Leeds seems to have a good reputation and lower living costs. I’m trying to understand whether the higher cost/brand difference is actually worth it as an Indian student planning to build a career abroad.
Would really appreciate:
- honest reviews
- placement realities
- ROI perspective
- experiences of Indian students
- whether either MBA is truly worth the investment in the current UK market
Thanks in advance!
