For your profile - a recent Computer Science graduate with no full-time work experience - a Master in Management (MiM) is typically the best fit.

- MiM: Designed for recent graduates without significant work experience. Focuses on broad management and business fundamentals to help you enter the business world.
- MSc in Business: Usually specialized (e.g., business analytics, finance). May accept students from diverse backgrounds, but some programs require specific prior coursework.
- MBA: Suited for professionals with 3 - 7 years of work experience. Focuses on advanced leadership and management for career progression into senior roles.

Given your background and goals, MiM offers the most direct path to a business career. If you’re interested in a specialized business field, some MSc programs may also be an option, but entry requirements vary.
