LSE MSc Quantitative Methods for Risk Management vs Imperial MSc Risk Management & Financial Engineering

Hello, I got admitted to both schools. (LSE MSc Quantitative Methods for Risk Management at the dept. of statistics and Imperial MSc Risk Management & Financial Engineering at business school)

What I found so far is LSE - more brand-name in financial industry, 10 months long (doesn't include any projects and papers), relatively cheaper tuition Imperial - structured education in learning programming skills (e.g. vba, python), 12 months long (includes an applied project)

I would look for the financial risk management or actuarial position after graduation in continental European countries. Your opinions related to the decision would be highly appreciated!
