Which masters to choose?

Background: BSc in Economics and mathematics (with computer science, statistics and business courses).

I have the following offers: *UPDATED 1. MSc Economics and Finance from (1yr) Warwick Business School (and Warwick Economics) 2. MSc Econ from (2yr) Sciences Po Paris 3. MSc Adv. Econ and Finance (2yr) Copenhagen Business School 4. Other lower ranked unis

From what I've read, Warwick has a good brand-name in the UK, while SP is very strong in France. I'd most likely learn French while living in Paris, which is a plus (not sure how important that is for jobs in the UK?). The SP masters is two years and provides more advanced training (PhD courses in economics). CBS is highly regarded in my home country. This degree in particular is well ranked

Goals: * Preferably a job in finance (any area, though I prefer research-type jobs) in London * Keeping open the option of doing a PhD in econ or finance later on.
