Best Online Masters for International Relations

I'm in full time employment and want to study an online masters in international relations and wondered if anyone had any first hand endorsements from courses they have. It seems the obvious dilemma is between Kings college and Queen Mary. While the latter seems shorter, less expensive and has a broader syllabus, kings obviously has far more prestige and reputation. Not sure how much difference this makes any more in terms of future job prospects. Interested in any thoughts and appreciate people giving their experience of these two unis or suggesting others.

many thanks!

Try the MSt in IR at Cambridge. There's a substantial loss in value doing a Masters in IR online because, like an MBA, the in-person connections and learning are a key element for a future career.

Thanks very much - looks great but not accepting applications currently plus with full time work commitments it'll be difficult to do a masters that isn't online based.
