RSM or University of Edinburgh.

Hi guys,
I graduated from University of Sheffield in 2010 and have since worked in Singapore (my hometown). I intend to do a MSc this year, and am currently considering some options below :

1. University of Edinburgh (MSc in Accounting and Finance)
2. Rotterdam School of Management (RSM) (Msc in Accounting and Control)
3. University of Manchester (MSc in Accounting and Finance)

I actually slightly tend to RSM, just due to its low tuition fee and affordable living cost. However, in terms of its reputation in Asia, I'm kind of dubious.

Which universities should I apply for?

Thank you in advance.

For business/management, Manchester has the best reputation there.
For overall/international reputation, go to Edinburgh.
Dont go to RSM thou, it's very easy to get into that uni.

Thanks! I also consider applying to LSE to do Master of Law and Accounting. However, I'm not very confident about the chances of me being accepted.

Hi, Christopher Tran... I am planning to study MSc Financial Management in University of Edinburgh this year. Do you have any information about the reputation of U. Edinburgh Business School in Singapore? Especially among banks...

Thanks

University of Edinburgh has a decent reputation in Singapore but I'm not sure about the reputation of their business school. I think Warwick is a much more attractive option for business graduate. However, Edinburgh's overall reputation is better than Warwick's in Asia.

Hi, David.. Thank you for the insight... I wanted to ask you, if you have option in Aston, Edinburgh, and Southampton (All finance postgraduate subject), Do you have any preference? Basically I'm going to choose Edinburgh anyway...

Out of the schools you applied this would be my ranking in terms of reputation and job opportunities (for business masters):

RSM>Manchester>Edinburgh
