PwC Corporate Finance internship VS. cheap Masters in Finance

Hey all,

Currently got 2 offers on the table which I am pretty excited about, but having lots of difficulty on what to choose.

I can either intern at PwC's Corporate Finance department in M&A's or choose a cheap Masters in Finance.

The Masters in Finance is at a Dutch university, making it very cheap for me as a European (2k/year). The University is renowned in finance but by no means a clear target school.

Maybe interesting to note; so far I have done 0 long-term internships in Finance. This would be my first experience with M&A's, which is a topic I am highly interested in and want to work in post-graduation.

What would you say is my best choice if I want to work internationally in M&A's after graduating? I am currently a final years undergrad.

Cheers & thank you for your time and attention!
