CASS because it's in London and it'd be easier getting to the interviews.
If you don't care about that, get out of the UK and do it at one of the continental schools, unless you've got an offer from LSE, which is the only offer I'd stay in the UK for. Why? LSE Employment statistics. Yet, even this year, MSc Finance kids at LSE are applying for Ops jobs in wank banks like Standard Bank.

I can assure you that MSc finance kids at LSE does not apply for Ops....as a good % of the students are already experienced traders or asset managers....alot of people on the MSc finance course got an internship this year.....given that most of the graduate job are nonexistence...

Manchester, anytime. Is a well respected uni, not a business school. Will get you wherever you want. However, your progression depends on you. Life-wise, London beats Manchester.

I'd say CASS over Manchester. The course content is highly practical, you're in London and there are loads of arabs.
That spells awesome in my book.

By the looks of it,if you are aiming for IB london its a definite CASS, but if u want to be open to any other position anywhere in the world its a definite Manchester.
Cass is a business school very popular to the London circles, Manchester is becoming a great university in the world.

Manchester's finance department is one of the best in the country, the student life is amazing, and the business school is well regarded. However, if u really wanna make an impact, and have a foot in the door, u have to go to LSE, Oxbridge, HEC or smth similar. Personally, as i have an undergrad form Manchester, I will go for CASS. There is no much difference between the to unis, so at the end, the work experience and networking will be the two most important factors, defining your career prospects.
