HELP! What is my next career move?

Hey there, I came across this amazing forum when I started my research on Masters programmes that focus on Investments. Background: Computer Science graduate with 1 year of technical work experience. Current purpose: Complete career change - fully focused on business and investments (something I am more interested than engineering)

Lately I became too obsessed with studying global economics, understanding the investment world, and the banking. I want to to make a career as an Asset Manager or something similar.

I want to study the global economics and the world of investments from a good university. I have so far come across Master courses in Economics, Finance, Management. Which masters courses would be my best options?
