MSc in Finance from University of Birmingham or Loughborough University

Hi!I got an offer for the MSc Finance programme at Loughborough University and for the MSc Financial Management programme at the University of Birmingham and am in desperate need of advice on which one to choose.

As the content of both programmes aligns with my interests pretty well, I am wondering which one of the degrees/universities:

  1. Has better reputation/is more widely recognised in the UK/Europe?
  2. In terms of employability, which one would give me a better outlook?

I would also appreciate very much any other opinions/experiences regarding the business schools at both universities.

My background:

I graduated in BSc Management from Royal Holloway 6 years ago and have since worked abroad, in Bulgaria, in finance-related fields. My main objective is to finally get my postgraduate degree and look for employment opportunities in the UK and western Europe in general.

Thank you!
