Choosing between LSE MSc in Finance, Cambridge MFin and LBS MFA

Hello everyone!

I have 1.5-2 years of work experience in a big four due diligence team. I want to do a masters to work in London investment banks. I have offers from LSE Msc in Finance, Cambridge MFin (post-experience programme) and LBS MFA. Which one should I choose? (I will need a visa sponsorship to work in London).

I have 2 days to decide, so I will appreciate your thoughts! Thanks!

Although Cambridge is the better name overall of the 3, the MFins at LSE and LBS are considered better. Between those two I'm honestly not sure; I would be inclined to say LSE because in general the 3 UK targets for finance are Oxford, Cambridge and LSE but truth is LBS places very well in the UK. If 2-3 years down the line you want to move to another European country or leave the EU altogether, I would opt for LSE as (IMO) its a better international name than LBS
