Which university is better for job placement in business analytics

I have received offer from the following universities

1) University of Exeter - MSC Business Analytics-
(Global Excellence Scholarship)

2) University of Liverpool - MSc Business Analytics
and Big Data ( Vice Chancellor’s International
Attainment Scholarship and Commonwealth
Postgraduate Bursary Scholarship )

3) Henley Business School of University of Reading-

MSc Information Management & Digital Business
Big Data in Business ( Scholarship decision
pending )

4) Aston business school - MSC Business analytics
( Global Excellence Scholarship )

5) Queens University Belfast- MSc Data Analytics
( International Postgraduate Taught Scholarship )

All the above mentioned universities are good in terms of ranking & reputation and the course modules are also advanced. I was hoping is there any students currently studying in any of these courses or have studied in the past. I want to know the actual future prospects of these universities. Although I have gathered some basic knowledge from the uni websites but an advice from The first hand experience person will be highly appreciated.

I am kind of in the same boat. Personally I'd say Exeter. BTW How much score did you have to get scholarships? I am also applying to Liverpool but for Msc Computer Science

Awesome ..I don't know why you are coming to UK. You can probably get visa sponsorship if you tried hard enough without having to shell out money.

Well Actually I am getting scholarships which will cover a good amount of my tuition fees and also I have saved enough to cover the rest of my fees and living cost . The main reason of my masters is to learn and increase the horizon of my knowledge .

That's fair enough. But if i had your kind of profile I'd be aiming for oxford, Cambridge and Ivy leagues in USA. I know there is lot of issues with Trump and all but would've been worth a shot. But back to the question, Exeter is the best on the list , it is highest ranked and most prestigious out of the bunch.

Ya. I have got offer from Glasgow too. But I want to stay in England so that I can do networking well . And for business school Henley business school of university of Reading is actually better . Already talked with some alumni . It’s one of the top 30 business schools in the world according to FT and also top 50 business schools in the world according to Times higher education as well . And it’s ranking is Higher compared to some Ivy League business schools as well . I have considered Oxford , Cambridge and LSE . But their tuition fees is very very high and the chances of getting a scholarship is close to none. But still I am trying . If I get a scholarship then I will consider. Otherwise I think I will choose Henley . Besides reassign is close to London too . I will be able to travel to London frequently for career fare and all . But there is a good chance that Henley will offer me a very generous scholarship . It can give me full funding too. Then it will be the best deal . Who does not want to do a masters In one of the TOP business schools in the world without paying .
What need to be prepared for Global excellence scholarship pls

I am stuck between Strathclyde and Glasgow caledonian university.. is it worth it to pay 7k more at Strathclyde university rather than at Glasgow caledonian university for the same course? MSC supply chain management and logistics.
