Hi jclam, Great job , bringing in a lot of insights which is quite helpful. Can you share some info how good is oxford MBA is for a supply chain professional

[@jclam]

The MBA is a more general degree, so it suits people looking for a general understanding of business. If you're looking to focus on a career on chain, it might make more sense to so a Master in Supply Chain Management, so it depends on what you're looking for!

Would really like to know what were your reasons for choosing UK over top tier US universities ? If you have already mentioned it somewhere in any of your videos, could you kindly redirect me to that. Thanks in advance.

I haven't exactly, but I touched on them in "5 Reasons to do a Master's Abroad in the UK" so you can check that out! My other reasons I didn't mention were basically that 1. I wanted an international experience, and loved the idea of living and working in London after, and 2. I applied to 3 schools- rejected from Yale, waitlisted at Tuck, and accepted to Oxford. I may have had to wait another year to start my MBA if I wanted to stay in the US, but I decided it was time for a change.
