SOAS vs. KCL for Distance Learning MSc Finance?

Hi everyone, I am an American thinking of doing a part-time distance learning MSc Finance at either SOAS or King's College London. Because of differences in funding opportunities, I would probably end up paying around 2,000 GBP for SOAS and 30,000 GBP for KCL. It seems like the KCL program is a lot more interactive and involved, and has the stronger name, but it would be significantly more expensive.

Which of these schools would you recommend and why? Would KCL be worth the extra cost?
Hi, It's great that you're thinking of studying MSc Finance at SOAS. I'd recommend SOAS as it specialises in the delivery of more than 40 African and Asian languages so as the Global south expands having commercial knowledge on international trade of other regions would help immensely. SOAS is also a super vibrant and diverse place and a great place to meet people from all over the world and immerse in different cultures. There's over 100 societies offering sports and cultural events and it has a great careers service too. Hope this helps!
