UCL Msc Public Policy or LSE MSc Regulation

I got offer from UCL (MSc Public Policy) and LSE (Msc Regulation). I know that UCL rank is higher overall, but considering social science, LSE is among the best.My previous background was taxation, accounting, and economic (not deep in economic). Now, I work in government sector related to economic and revenue.I need recommendation, which one should I choose between UCL or LSE. Many thanks for help me decide.

Tough option I'd say.

Never mind the dissimilarity in the course tittles. Regulation and Public Policy sound the same to me.
And the good thing is, you already work in the government sector, so you can go any direction actually.
But I'd go for Regulation as it sounds broader to me than Public Policy, which is direct and straight forward. The implicaton of choosing Regulation is that it offers the flexibility to switch to the private sector anytime as regulation may be construed from several perspectives, whereas, Public Policy boxes you to a corner.

So, the best option is LSE, it's a good school anyway.

Goodluck!
