Repeating your bachelor's subject at master's level rarely helps a CV stand out, so the more useful question is which specific skill your 2 years of experience already points toward, since that decides more than your 70% score does.

MSc Supply Chain Management: The Strongest Differentiator

  • Example program: University of Guelph's MSc Supply Chain Management lists careers such as supply-chain manager, operations analyst and procurement manager.
  • Best fit: your 2 years touched operations, logistics or exports.

MSc Business Analytics: Best for a Data-Focused Pivot

  • Prerequisite check: some UK universities, such as Exeter, require at least one quantitative undergraduate module, so verify eligibility first.
  • Best fit: your 2 years leaned toward reporting, data or quantitative analysis.

My Advice

In my experience, International Business graduates default to another International Business or Management master's because it feels safe, but that path adds the least differentiation to a CV that already has the subject covered. Check your undergraduate transcript for quantitative modules before committing to Business Analytics, since several UK universities specifically require them, and lean on your 2 years of work experience in your personal statement regardless of which specialisation you choose, since it is your strongest differentiator either way against fresh graduates with no comparable exposure.
