Hi all, thoughts on which uni is best in terms of course content, network, and career prospects? Any thoughts and arguments would be greatly welcome.

Imperial best if you want to work in London. After that, would personally pick ESADE over ESSEC. You will have to take into consideration location (Imperial and ESADE are in big cities while ESSEC is in a sketchy town outside of Paris), number of years (ESSEC is 2/3 years while ESADE and imperial is 1 year).
