Schulich Master of Finance VS Western Master of Financial Economics

Hi, I am deciding between two programs below, and I listed some basic info about them, could you give me some more advice? Thanks! (These are Canadian schools and I planned to work in Canada)

Schulich Master of Finance

  1. Good Location, Toronto city

  2. Good reputation

  3. Covering a lot of CFA content so more conveniently passing CFA with this program

  4. Only 12 months, so less work permit time (I am international student)

**Western Master of Financial Economics **

  1. 16 months program with a summer internship opportunity (biggest pro in my opinion because many people tell me internship opportunity means larger chance of getting full-time)

  2. This MFE program doesn't belong to Western Ivey school, it is a collaborative program among departments of Economics, Ivey, Statistics and the law, so I am not sure the reputation is better than Schulich's

  3. Location is not as good as that of Schulich

My Goal: Getting a job after graduation.

Some people tell me better location means more opportunity, but other tell me internship opportunity is safer because you already get your foot in the door. I am having a hard time deciding which one to go, need some experts to help me out :D

Thanks in advance!
