Imperial IWM / RMFE vs HKUST MSc Finance for S&T?

Hi Monkeys,

Currently deciding between master’s options and would appreciate some outside perspective. Quick background, Final year Econ student at a UK low semi target, previously did a MM S&T London internship (not converted) and have another MM S&T London internship this summer lined up. Long term goal is macro HF. Right now I’ve received an offer from Imperial for MSc IWM, while RMFE application is still pending. At the same time I also hold an HKUST MSc Finance offer.

Trying to think about the downside scenario where I don't conversion. Imperial obviously has the London location and strong brand, but the IWM program itself looks quite wealth / asset management oriented. Not sure how well that translates if  aiming for trading desks. HKUST on the other hand seems to place ok into HK markets roles. I’m also HK heritage and speak some Mandarin (can be brushed up to business fluency) so culturally it wouldn’t be a huge jump, but it probably means committing more to an Asia career path.

Just curious what people here think. If the choice ends up being Imperial IWM vs HKUST MSc Finance, which one would you lean toward if the goal is eventually Macro HF in the long term? 

Appreciate any thoughts or roastings.
