Choosing Between MSc Finance Offers: Bayes vs. Nottingham as an International Student

I currently have offers from both Bayes Business School (formerly Cass) and the University of Nottingham for an MSc in Finance. As an international student, I’m uncertain about which option would be the best fit for me, and I’m trying to weigh the academic quality, career opportunities, and overall student experience at each university.

Thanks for the reply. I specifically asked for thoughts on Bayes and Nottingham, as those are the offers I currently hold. I’m of course aware of which schools are considered target or non-target at the MSc level — my question was more about how these two compare in terms of career opportunities, reputation, and overall value, especially for an international student.
