UK MSc Finance: Cranfield or Cass

Hello,

I am considering between Cranfield MSc Finance & Management and Cass MSc corporate finance. I'd like to ask, how is the reputation of the schools in the industry and how good are these degrees for future career? I have seen FT 2016 and 2015 rankings which shows Cranfield ranked higher than Cass for careers and percentage employed, but Cass seems to be far more famous.

I did a science degree for undergraduate in the UK.

Thank you.

I'm from the UK as well and am about to start an MSc programme. I hear a lot more about Cass than Cranfield to be honest. I know about Cranfield but haven't come across any of its alumni in the London finance scene. In contrast, I have met a number from Cass. When it comes to finance, from everything I've heard and researched, I'd say Cass enjoys a better domestic and international reputation than Cranfield does.
