MSc Finance at Semi-Target or non-finance at Target

I get the perception at undergrad level, course subject matters less but is this the same for masters?

For example, would a MSc Management at LSE be looked at better then MSC Finance at Loughborough.

You can address that in your cover letter, or when talking to bankers, but a MiM from LSE would increase your chances to work in banking compared to an MSc in Finance from Loughborough. 

I don't know... Yeah. Almost definitely yes.
