SSE vs RSM for Msc

Hey guys.  Currently have two offers… Msc finance from sse and accounting and financial management from RSM. 

A little background:  Asian,  did my bachelor in Europe as well and had an internship at blackrock for half a year.  More into finance than accounting.  I would like to stay in Europe after graduation and wonder if the 2 year program will help in this case

Exactly,  i know it's stupid to compare.  But from the perspective of landing a job in finance industry (ib pe asset management …whatever)

does msc finance at sse have a better brand name?  Will I get a better shot by doing more internship during thr 2 year program? 

 

Thanks!  Should definitely apply for RSM as they process really quickly.  You can at least have it as a backup option  

 

Well to be clear SSE is solid for finance. But if will be way more expensive for you than RSM. RSM is still a really good university with a much larger alumni network (which is important long term). Hope it helps :) 

 

That's true.  The size of alumni is SSE is really small!  But I heard that the career office there is really helpful 

 

Yes, the class size is around 95 students so yes it is easier compared to the 300+ at RSM. But yes SSE has one of the best career placement in Europe.
