MSc Finance UCL vs CASS vs IE

Hi all,

I am Adem from Istanbul. I currently hold offers from the MSc Finance from CASS, University College London(UCL) and at IE. After some research on all three, I am still hesitant as to which to choose.

My goal is to end up on an Investment Banking in London.

My profile: -28 yo -BSc in politics and Economics from a one of top Turkish University with a 3.9 GPA -Passed CFA Level I -fluent English -4 years full-time experience as a consultant in the strategy development within one of the leading banks in Turkey.

I'm slightly leaning towards the MSc Finance at UCL as its one of the target universities in the UK. Although, I've been told the CASS and IE programmes place very well in the City and have the advantage of being much more focused on the practical skills I'm trying to obtain.

Any thoughts on this would be much appreciated. Best,
