Hi,

I am looking to apply for a full time Masters Program with a focus on Corporate Strategy and Organizational Behavior.

Would really appreciate if all of you could share your thoughts on which universities in UK have the best Management Schools with Research Focus, Faculty Strength in the field of Corporate Strategy and Organizational Behavior.

Please do share your thoughts.

Thanks in advance.

Warm Regards,
SG.

Hi there, Thanks a lot for replying.

I have looked at Warwick and Lancaster and have shortlisted the following programs:

Warwick:
1. Masters- Management & Organizational Analysis
Lancaster:
1. Masters- HRM and Consulting
2. MRes- Management

In addition to this, I have also shortlisted MRes- Management offered by Manchester Business School as another program of interest.

My apprehensions at this stage:

1. Which is to best place with of study for both Organizational Behavior and Strategy as my area of interest is an intersection of both these fields of management.

2. I am well settled in my job and I have been doing well, but I really need to expand my horizon and get more specialised education in this domain. So will it be a wise decision at this stage to quit my well paying job and get back to education? But at the sametime I cannot delay it any further in the interest of not losing time in my career.

3. Are there any other courses where this confluence of OB and Strategy happens and I could possibly look at applying as an International Student

4. As you rightly mentioned, I would be looking at possible funding options while evaluating a course, as where I stand right now it seems I will be paying for it through a educational loan and hence would love to get any assistance that I can

Please do reply and share your thoughts.

Thanks in advance.

Warm Regards,
SG.

Hi,
