MSc LSE Financial Mathematics or MSc Imperial College Mathematics and Finance

Hi,

I currently hold conditionnal offers for :
- MSc in Financial Mathematics at the LSE
- MSc in Mathematics and Finance at the Imperial College

I really don't know how to choose between them.
I think that the Imperial College has a better reputation for quantitative subjects, but LSE is a good brand name for doing Finance. As I would like to work in Front Office as a Structurer, would the LSE be better ?

I graduated from a French Engineering school, and I have strong knowledge in Applied Mathematics and other quantitative stuff. Furthemore, I have some experience as intern in both quantitative Finance and structuring. I think that it would be better for me to choose considering the name more than course content.

Thanks !
Mehdi
