Admitted for two MSF programmes (advice needed)

Hello everyone !

I write this post as I am lucky enough to be admitted for two different MSF programmes in my home country (I'll let you guess my country based on my username).

The programmes offer a few distinctions in between: the first one offers a curriculum, that involves finance and analytics studies ( with Python/Matlab/R), but the programme does not hold any most known accredations such as AACSB, AMBA or EQUIS (this is probably due to the fact, that this programme was established in 2015).

The curriculum in the second one is purely based on banking and international finance, that does not include analytics studies, but the programme holds AACSB and AMBA.

I have a BBA-degree in accounting and most recently worked in big4 auditing for 2,5 years now. With the MSF degree, I strive to pivot into finance with a goal of getting first into transaction advisory or equity research after graduation with eventually considering other high-finance positions as I progress.

I would really appreciate all insights about which MSF programme should I choose and thoughts about if any of the two programmes exclude any future careers !
