LSE or Birkbeck

Hi everyone!

I'm from Saudi Arabia and planning to do my masters in HR.
Now I have applied to:

LSE - MSc in Human Resources and Organisations (Human Resource Management/CIPD

Kings - Human Resource Management and Organisational Analysis MSc (Full-time)

Birkbeck - Management with Human Resource Management (MSc)




I'm not sure which is better as LSE has a better reputation globally , however Birkbeck's combines both HR and management which can be better for future jobs

Thank you in advance for your help!
Regards,

If you get offer from LSE, then definitely go for it.
They're all good schools. Kings and LSE are better than Birkbeck, which still isn't bad. Birkbeck is mostly an evening school for working professionals, so if you're looking for student life then I wouldn't expect terribly much.

I agree with the above, if you get into LSE I'd say go for it.

As above, only more, they are utterly different universities and you are likely to have very different experiences at all 3. Kings is a pretty standard, good UK university. LSE is much more international and intense, lots of students (and staff) 100% committed to study, to the exclusion of all else. Birkbeck is an 'evening class' based university, primarily for mature learners who hold down day jobs.

You can get a good degree out of all 3 of them, but your social/living experience as well as your academic experience is likely to be very different in each of them.
