Masters dilemma (royal Holloway vs Greenwich)

Currently have offers for both and met their conditions. However Holloway have provided me funding which covers pretty much the whole cost. I didn’t receive any funding from Greenwich but could take some out of my savings.

Could be wrong, but I think LSE is mostly known for the quality of their undergraduate programs. LSE will surely be more prestigious than UCL but I would definitely look into the placement of LSE vs UCL master's because from what I'm hearing LBS dominates when it comes to master's. With that said, the added prestige might not be worth your money. 

 

Maybe provide some context. Which courses are we talking about? What is your background? Do you already have experience?

 

LSE, you'll place quite well having IB experience already (provided you don't wanna convert your summer obv)

Nobody in IB London comes from UCL master's (a lot of undergrads ofc)

 

Et aut eos temporibus quisquam molestiae aut sit. Et tempore distinctio ipsa. Minus et vel quia eos voluptate debitis et.
