Deciding between ESMT MiM vs Imperial MSc Innovation,entreprenuership and Management vs IE MiM
Background:
I am Zubair, currently pursuing a bachelor's degree in business from India, and aspiring to work in management consulting with top global firms like “MBB” after graduation.
I am fortunate to have received admissions offers from the following one-year master's programs in Europe for the Sept 2024 intake:
1) ESMT Berlin MiM (2 years)
2) Imperial College London MSc Innovation, Entrepreneurship & Management (1 year)
3) IE Business School MiM (1 year)
Situation:
As I evaluate the trade-offs across these great options to pivot my career towards consulting/strategy roles, I wanted to get this forum’s perspectives on suggesting which b-school and program might offer the best return-on-investment (ROI) across factors such as:
- Job market conditions in Germany vs UK vs Spain
- Expected post-study salary differentials across the countries
- Strengthening corporate recruiting pipelines
- Total cost for the entire program duration
In particular, I am keen to understand if the 2-year course structure of ESMT’s program magnifies the career enhancement potential enough to warrant the extra year of tuition fees and living expenses, when compared to the shorter European MiM programs?
Does IE Business School's strong brand reputation across Europe counterweigh its relatively higher program fees as well potentially?
Any insights comparing these alternatives would be greatly appreciated!
