Hello,
I am holding offers for Global Masters in Management (GMiM) at LSE and also Energy, Trade and Finance at Cass Business School.
I am currently studying Business Management with Spanish as an undergraduate, but I want to go onto either S&T or management consulting afterwards.
I would really appreciate advice on which would be the better option RE job prospects etc.
FYI: the GMiM at LSE is two years and more expensive than the MSc at Cass.

Also been looking at these courses (well the MSc finance at Cass and GMiM).
For me the GMiM is just too expensiv to justify the job you will get afterwards. 60k and from the alumni I looked at they were going into entry level jobs that people with bachelors were getting. Obviously if you didn't get into what you want with your bachelors it can be a good way to move but I think its just too expensive for me.
If you don't mind could you share your profile as, despite the cost, the GMiM may end up being the only option available to me in order to pivot careers.
To answer the actual question, LSE GMiM is better than the MSc ETF in my opinion, especially for consulting.
I agree, the two-year commitment and the cost is pushing me away from LSE. Being that both the Masters are in different areas means I need to fundamentally make a decision on my career path. Whichever course would keep as many doors open would be ideal until I can do more internships.
Probably the GMiM then, especially because the course at Cass is ETF and not straight finance. The GMiM course will also allow you to take an internship next summer. The module list has some finance electives if you want to go that way and also offers the MBA exchange option.

Really depends on career objectives. It is pretty different if you want ST or MBB. Nevertheless, I would opt for LSE, as it will probably allow you to attain a job in both industries, while with Cass you would be locked to ST.
Would I still be limited even with a BA in Management as my undergraduate? In my mind, studying the MSc in ETF at Cass would expand my options for a career in finance after my undergrad - but if the GMiM at LSE can still get me into finance roles then it seems the better option.
Well I believe that, once you get a MSc, that will be your specialization and the degree considered when applying for a job. I doubt that anyone will look for the BSc. In this case, you would be ideal to markets-related jobs and probably have a disadvantage regarding other candidates for consulting jobs with more strategy-related MSc.
Regarding the GMiM, I don’t know the content of the programme, but I am certain that it will allow you to specialize in finance or take enough finance-related classes to be prepared for a job in the industry. At least, that is the norm with MiMs in Europe. That, coupled with the strength of LSE’s brand, will certainly open many professional doors in your future.
