Looking for Degree

I am thinking to persue a career in commodities with an inclination to energy and metals (currently doing an engineering undergraduate) . I am torn between different Msc degrees like:
Msc Shipping Trade & Finance, Cass Business School, London
Msc Energy Trade & Finance, Cass Business School, London
Msc Metals Energy and Finance, Imperial College, London
(check the links for more)
The main advantage of the Cass degrees is that it doesn't require you to write a thesis at the end and no GMAT requirement.

I would appreciate advice from senior people in the industry.

This. Don't go to Cass, it's no good

What makes you say that? Please explain because it's a very important decision for me given that it costs 25000 euro
