Master Finance: WHU Otto Beisheim, Germany vs Nova SBE, Portugal

Hi! I was admitted to Master in Finance programmes at WHU Otto Beisheim in Germany and Nova SBE in Portugal. Please give some advise on what to choose! I am from Russia, non-EU. I am 50/50 about staying in Europe or coming to Russia after my studies. Pros of NOVA SBE: Costs 10 000 Eur good rankings, ranked 14th worldwide by FT Lisbon is a nice place to spend a year in possibility of exchange semester Cons of NOVA: maybe less perspectives to find job in Europe afterwards

Pros of WHU: Highly reputable school in Germany good job perspectives in Germany competitive environment; strong community Cons of WHU: Costs 20 000 Eur located in a small village Vallendar master in finance is not ranked at all (only their master in management programme is ranked in FT)

Please share your thoughts=) Thanks!
