LSE PGDİP in Accounting and Finance

Hi everybody, i am a Financial Markets master ( with thesis ) degree holder from University of Istanbul. I am planning to move to London in order to widening my finance professionals network and gain investors all around the world trust. I applied to LSE PGDip in Accounting and Finance. In my country there is no difference for a finance professional btwn PGDIP and MSC. PGDIP considered as 9 month master programme without thesis. I am aware of LSE reputation but is there any difference btwn PGDIP and MSc for London and USA professionals ? I have some options in UK and France in boutique investment advisory services. but i am not sure is there any shortcoming of PGDIP degree compared to Msc. I edited the thread i want to ask one more question by the end of next month i will have had an response from LSE to my application. Let's say LSE PGDİP is my first choice and in case of rejection which program should I apply ?

Options are : CASS Investment Management MSc Kings College London Banking& Finance MSc Queen Mary London Investment Banking MSc
