The rank of the University, the course structure and the location.
Course Curriculum
The course curriculum was great as it provided us with the opportunity to work on live consultancy projects with clients based internationally. The curriculum was not very hectic and allowed us to specialise in the fields that we found most interesting (finance, marketing, etc.)
Exams
Admission requirements include a transcript or an interim transcript of your current / latest educational qualification. The University of Edinburgh is very highly ranked and required competitive scores to get in. With the transcripts and a strong Statement of Purpose you can secure a conditional seat which will be rendered unconditional upon receival of a proper degree certificate / course completion letter. The University also requires an IELTS score of at least 7.5/9.
Placement
The opportunities are good, even internationally. Most of my peers are working as consultants all over the globe and a few are pursuing their PhDs.
Events
All of the facilities are great. Clear wifi, latest electronics in terms of computers, accessible hub rooms for group projects, accessible cafes and other resources. The university has a lot of extra curricular clubs to be associated. There are many sports related clubs and cultural clubs to choose from. A list of these clubs is made available to all students online.

Faculty

The cost of the room was 215 GBP per week. the accommodation had a student lounge with many facilities, a laundry room, a cinema hall and a gym.
