Exeter's MSc Money, Banking, Finance or Bath's MSc Accounting and Finance?

Hi everyone, I received 2 offers, one from Exeter, one from Bath. Now I applied for the MSc in Finance at Bath but I was rejected, and they offered me to apply for their MSc Accounting and Finance.
- Exeter link: https://www.exeter.ac.uk/postgraduat...course-content
- Bath: https://management-masters.bath.ac.u...and-structure/
I'm an international student and I would pay £25000 for these Masters so I should choose the one which gives me the best chances of getting a good job in the UK. I'm more interested to working in finance than accounting but perhaps Bath is a more semi-target school compared to Exeter. Furthermore, I'm quite shy/introvert so accounting might be a better fit for me.

I know it's extremely hard and it takes some work experience but my long term goal is working in asset management, so idk if the Exeter Master's gives me a better change to get directly into finance while Bath is more for accounting.
What would you advise me to do?

 
 

Exeter undergrad here. Can't speak about Bath but some of the MSc programmes at Exeter are great if you want to go into asset management. The Financial Analysis and Fund Management (FAFM) programme includes CFA L1 and consistently sends people into good AM roles. Both the Money & Banking programme and the Finance & Investments programme are also good, but if your goal is to go into AM, I would definitely try to switch to FAFM (or if not possible, then to Finance & Investments).
