Warwick Econ or Cass Quant?

Hello!

I am applying for my master degree(in UK) these days, and I received 2 conditional offers. I am not sure which one is better....so seeking advice from you here...

Warwick - MSc in Economics and International Financial Economics(not in WBS)
Cass Business School - Quantitative Finance

I hope to work in IB after grad, so I think the courses provided by Cass are more helpful...
Warwick is more reputed and the programme is really good in UK (top 5 in economics), but I dont think I am interested in economics(it is boring!!!).

I am now interned at a securities co. and my boss recommended Cass to me, while one of my friends who is working as a HR said warwick is better and ww enjoys great reputation in my country.

I am really confused:( please help me with the pro's and con's of each school..thanks a lot!!

 

Is the CQF from Fitchlearning still worth anything these days? I spoke with some CQF types and it seems that their level of understanding is rather shallow and it was simply a differentiator stamp that allowed them to get the interview, nothing more.

You can maybe get your Quant fill by doing the CQF but Quora folks don't really like it and said it is useless for current day industry (material is dated).
