MSc. at Cass or Grenoble in London

Hi guys!

I am wondering which MSc. to choose for breaking into WM/AM/PB in London.
I managed to start the application process too late, so I have only four options: MSc. in Investment Managment at Cass vs MSc. in Finance at Grenoble Ecole de Management, London Campus (also Henley and Hult, but I think these schools are worse).

I've read some posts here about Cass, though I'am wondering whether WM/AM/PB in London do not target the school the same way as IB. I would prefer Tier 1 firms (GS, CS, JP, UBS) , but I am also opened to start career at Tier 2 firms or boutiques.

The thing with Grenoble is that, despite being higher on FT ranking, it's not a UK degree, and I am not sure if anyone knows it (this program is in partnership with LSBF, but looks like only for Visa and campus purposes).

Could anyone comment on these schools, ideally in the context of WM/AM/PB. What should be the order on my list?

Thanks in advance for your help!
