1. Anglia Ruskin is good. I completed my undergraduate studies there some years ago and it was good at the time. You can also compare the MBA offerings against schools in the same area i.e. Uni Greenwich and Uni Kent. Kent offers a 10% off on fees and its modules and in terms of course offerings, Kent, Greenwich and ARU are similar with only slight differences in modules.
In terms of cost, Kent is more expensive @ 21,400 since Greenwich is 16,000 and ARU at 16,200 but with the Uni Kent's 50% scholarship (if you get it) and its 10% discount on early deposit payment, UniKent tuition would stand at 8,000 (inclusive of initial deposit). ARU used to offer about 10% off tuition but not sure if they still do so. Kent tuition is inclusive of a 5-day study trip to an EU country.
2. Combining your ACCA and MBA doesn't necessarily mean that you would get a job with tier 2 sponsorship but it gives you an edge as long as you start your job search early. Try to brush up on your other skills that could get you a foot in the door (i.e. If you got a PM job, can you demonstrate a good grasp and experience of PM in addition to your business management and accounting experience? What are your excel skills like? Note that this is just an example and not a given). Make sure you start your job search early after identifying T2 sponsors and don't shy away from business gatherings. Also get volunteer experience in which you may use your and develop your skills shouldn't be overlooked to. It's not a given that you'd get a job but if you plan for it, it's possible.
3. What would you like to do after your degree? Do you just want to do a Masters as a stamp on your knowledge or as a way of entering the market?
4. On-campus costs are similar to that of Kent and most unis and but I'm sure that if you will be renting private, you'd come up with various options that would suit your pocket. Food and electric costs are similar to elsewhere in the UK. Cambridge is fun depending on your idea of fun.

Thank you so much for your response and recommendation. i got a 4k pounds scholarship from ARU and if combined with the 1k pounds early payment discount that brings the total tuition fee to 11200k which i think its a fair deal.............but this university of Kent 50% scholarship is tempting shaa. i dont know if it will be easy to get.

Good day house. I have been following this page for a while now and I will need your input before making this decision. I recently became a member of ACCA ( Association of Chartered certified Accountant) and have been admitted to study "Master of Business Administration" in "Anglia Ruskin University" for September but im thinking of applying for MSC Accounting & Finance in other Universities. My questions.

1) Is the University a good school?

2) What are my chances of getting a Tier 2 sponsor if i combine my ACCA certificate( Since its a UK Certificate & recognised all over the world) & a Master of Business Administration certificate ?

3) Should i just stick with Master of Business Administration or look for admission for MSC Accounting & Finance.( my reason is that if i seek admission for MSC Accounting & Finance, i will be repeating most of the modules i already took while studying for my ACCA exams)?

4) what is the cost of living in Cambridge and how is the city generally?

Please i've been asks to deposit 4k pounds in order to secure the admission & i need some advice before making my decision. Thanks in anticipation for your responses.
