Dear Duncan!
I need help choosing university!
I am 25 years old with Ba in Accounting and finance and so far I have 3 years work experience in a consulting company. I have been admitted both in ESADE Msc Finance and in Cranfield Msc Finance and Management.
However, each school offers different kind of attracting things.
ESADE Msc in Finance is 2nd worldwide according to ft rankings. Although, I am not sure what could be my employmentability either in London or in Switzerland, where I want to live next.
Cranfield is a well respected university and will assure me a job in UK's industry. However its reputation is only local, as far as I am concerned.

Do you have any suggestions or comments upon my dilemma?

thank you in advance!

I think you need to prioritise these variables. If you want to work in London or Switzerland, why does reputation elsewhere matter?

My view is that Cranfield will bound me to stay in UK. This is actually my issue with that university that I will not have the option of choice.

on the other hand, ESADE is known as a university but I don't know to what extent. His prigram is closer to my preferences. Although, i am wondering if i can trust the ft rankings? Is it capable of finding me a job in Switzerland? Is it that known.

All in all, it would be really useful to tell me your opinion on my dilemma from what you know about those schools.

Thank you very much for your help!

If you want to work in Switzerland, why have you applied to ESADE rather than HSG or Frankfurt School of Finance and Management? Indeed, who have you applied to Cranfield rather than Oxford, the new LBS MFA (which seems ideal for you), Imperial or Cass? Surely those will all be better known in Switzerland.
