Does it matter if you graduate from a university vs a university of applied sciences?

I am from Western Europe. Last year I obtained my BSc degree (university of applied sciences) in real estate. Went out looking for jobs in the real estate investment/finance industry but found out pretty quickly they only work with people who have a MSc degree. This motivated me to also pursue a MSc degree. I am currently accepted in 2 MSc in real estate programs and I am curious about your advice on what’s the best for my career.

First program is at a university in my home country. This program is full-time and is highly regarded in the industry. Starts of with a pre-master program and then the actual master program.

Second program is at a university of applied sciences abroad. This program is part-time so besides studying my plan is to work a few days a week (I already have an offer from a bank). Because this program is abroad I don’t really know how it’s regarded in the industry. This program also offers the opportunity to obtain a second degree during an exchange semester but this also comes with some extra costs of course.

Both programs are thought in English and take 2 years so the timeframe is the same for both.

Does it, in the end, really matter if you graduate from a university or from a university of applied sciences? Curious about your thoughts/advice!
