LSE MSc International Political Economy

First I'll note that I'm sorry for the multiple posts on essentially the same topic over the months, but given the potential ramifications of making the wrong decision, I'm posting about this one more time (I promise!)

I am currently a BSc Economics student in a top Dutch university. Currently at my disposal, I have 2 paths I can pursue for next year:

  1. LSE MSc International Political Economy (offer received)
  2. RSM MSc Strategic Management (offer received)

I would love to work in organizational strategy (e.g. consulting, product development, etc.), though I am very much open to any interesting high-impact work in management/finance (e.g. IB). Does anybody have any insight on either program in this regard?

Thanks.
