Durham vs Trinity

Hi,

I am a recent undergraduate from Europe and applied for some business schools in the UK and Ireland. In regards to my future working career, I seek to get an entry in M&A or Corporate Development.
Today I have been informed that I got admitted to Durham Business School for the MSc Accounting and to Trinity Business School Dublin for the MSc International Management. Honestly, I am very uncertain, which offer to take. Could anyone of you guys can give me an advice?

When it comes to accreditation, Durham is surely the one to take. What I have been told, the same holds true in regard to Durham's alumni base. On the other hand, a pure accounting degree may be an overkill for M&A.

Best,
Etb
