Want to go banking in Asia; which Masters to pick and where? Found 4 options so far

Hey all,

Doubting about what Masters to do for 2019-2020. My ambition is to become an international banker in Asia specifically, able to go to e.g. Hong Kong and Singapore. I am currently thinking about the following options, but not sure which is the best, any help is MUCH, MUCH appreciated!;

  • MSc in Finance at Imperial College Business School.
  • MSc in Contemporary China Studies at Oxford University (Unconventional, I know, but have my eyes set on China in particular and already trust my Finance skills are good)
  • MSc in Economic History at LSE (Biggest name for London, although I am primarily interested in working in Asia)
  • MSc in Finance at RSM (Being Dutch, this is almost free education for me, but a masters degree I will take SOLELY for the certificate; already know all the content)

I will not do the GMAT due to me sucking at high pressure one-off tests, hence why I have to choose strategically and pick masters that don't require it.

If it matters, my background;
Top 5-10% of my finance undergrad class, Dutch, Cum Laude, honours programme and now doing a year of internships in M&A's, about to go PwC CF, and private equity at Dutch PE houses, or more M&A's if I love the experience.

Thank you for reading.
