Yes, I am from outside eurozone. for me, returning back immediately would be a difficult situation as salary is not good enough back home to earn back the fees paid to Camb. The concern with the french school is, though it is a top 3-4 b school in france, probably not many outside eu would know. Probably in terms of quality of education both would be same. The choice is between better name vs full scholarship.:-!

Thanks Jenste! The postdoc option is good provided I make it! But the French school has given the option to visit Cambridge or other top school as visiting researcher while maintaining their stipend. So I am exploring that option. I wont go in to debt for attending the Cambridge MPhil as I can pay it myself but will have to forfeit many material things if I do that. Regards.

Hello everyone, Greetings! I am facing a dilemma regarding my business school endeavors. I have two offers at hand: a professional MPhil at Cambridge Judge Business School without funding and a PhD at one of the better known French Schools (ESSEC/EMLYON/EDHEC). I know the career choices would be different in both cases, however I am trying to gauge which school offers a better placement prospects for employment of international students in the countries they are based. Is the Cambridge brand really stronger than the French schools in Europe? Even though I won’t have to take a loan to attend Cambridge it would still be a very expensive investment (cost a total of GBP 36000). Any opinion, experience or suggestion would be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Hello everyone, Can anyone please tell me how is an ESSEC phd perceived in the academic and consulting job market. Does Essec place graduates of the PhD program in average schools in North America or above average schools in EU? How difficult is it for international students to get work permit after grad school in France compared to English speaking countries like the Uk or usa? Regards.
