    Quite a spread there matey. Some very different uni's. Which course appeals to you the most?

    I'd suggest that you need to look at what you want to gain from a masters, and refine your search accordingly

    The course contents are identical, and therefore I want to know the order by education quality.

    You're not really saying that London Southbank is better than UCL or LSE?

    As the previous posters said, there is quite some spread here in terms of reputation, academic rigor and job prospects.

    In terms of international job chances (assuming your not from the UK and not sure whether or not you want to stay) I would rank it the following

    1) LSE Msc Management
    2) UCL Msc Management/LBS Msc Management
    .... Lots of distance
    ....
    ...
    ..
    3) Birkbeck Msc Management
    4) KCL for the sake of its name

    Disclaimer: I am doing the MSc Management at LSE myself, so I might be biased there.

    Basic rational for the ranking is that LSE has by far the highest international reputation and brand. The content wont be much different in LSE/UCL/LBS. Job prospects within the UK should be the same for LSE/UCL/LBS. Student life about the same for all of them, since they are all more or less in central London.

    Cheers

    I'm afraid that really isn't the case. To make the most of a masters I think you need to do more research into the institutions and courses.
