Interesting comment about the MBA vs. MSc Economics. After speaking with a few people, I'm leaning more towards an MBA, and if possible, with an International Business concentration (like my BS). Unfortunately finance is not my strong side and LBS is probably a bit out of my grasp due to my low scores; management and logistics are better for me. One problem is that I have not taken the GMAT and do not know the possibility of entering an MBA program in London (or the UK), without the GMAT. Is this possible?

I always felt this way about all of the money and time spent getting my bachelors, haha; I think/hope a MSc or MBA would be more useful though. The economic down turn has left me wanting to branch out and try to earn a living without the restrictions and safety for my family so it is important that I can compete in this market. I was looking at a few universities on The Complete University Guide website and for EU citizens, an MSc in Economics or MA in International Business tend to be less than £10k which is quite reasonable in my opinion. I just don't know what level university I should apply for so I know which ones I shouldn't get my hopes up for; I don't know the British school system very well.
Congratulations on your Doctoral Viva Doctor, I'm sure you've earned it :)

Hello,

I have a question about the possibility of attending a Master's programme. I received my BS in International Business and Management from a United States university and moved to Europe to help my family's import/export company. I have citizenship in an EU country, and thus, I am contemplating attending a Master's programme in the UK.

I would prefer London, as it is an international city which is very important for economics and business. I do have notable extracurricular activities on my CV(Resumé) including presidency at the Collegiate Fraternity Council at my University. I have work experience with my family's business in international trading and I speak a few foreign languages, but there is a problem...

The problem is that in my last year at university, I received two D's and this turned my relatively good GPA into a 2.84 GPA. The honest reason to why this happened was because I started to focus on business preparations after graduation and less on actually completing the degree. One notable thing about my transcript, however, is that I graduated in 3 years instead of 4 (or 5 for many), and with 10 credits more than needed (130 instead of 120)

In your honest opinion, do I have a chance at getting into a decent MBA or MSc Economics programme in London? I am looking at the University of Greenwich primarily, because of their MBA International Business programme, but I am flexible to all options. (In terms of financing the MBA/MSc, no scholarship or special financial assistance is needed).
