UCL vs. Bath vs. SOAS

Hey guys,


I need some second opinions on my choice of study. I have received distance learning Master offers for


UCL - MSc Finance and Accounting,

BATH - MSc Applied Economics (Banking & Financial Markets) &

SOAS University of London - MSc Finance (Banking).


Just taking prestige into consideration, UCL is of course the logical choice, but I am afraid that the focus of this program is too much on the accounting side, whereas the modules at SOAS sound really interesting (lots of valuation modules, m&a topics, in-depth corp. finance etc). Bath is somewhere in between, less target than UCL but more than SOAS, the overall program sounds more interesting than UCL Accounting but less interesting than SOAS.


Is UCL still the better decision to keep the best options open?

 

Just remembered this haha. I can def recommend starting the UCL program, I'm really enjoying it so far, great tutors, and the content is well organized to allow good time management and self-organization. I don't know about Bath and SOAS but I'm really happy with my decision to go for UCL.
