UCL, Cranfield, Surrey or City for transition to the space sector

Hi all,

I am planning a career transition from finance to the space sector, currently thinking of roles in missions planning and management (but open to other roles in the sector as well). I don't have an engineering background but I have background in Math, IT, Economics and Finance. I applied to 4 MSc programmes:

•

UCL: MSc Space Science and Engineering: Space Technology

•

Cranfield University: Astronautics and Space Engineering MSc

•

University of Surrey: Space Engineering

•

City, University of London: Space Mission Analysis and Design MSc

I received offers from all 4 programmes so I am looking for some crowd wisdom on which university to choose. There were some threads discussing this question already but many of them were quite old, a lot might have changed since then plus some new programmes have been launched. I am doing some research and comparison but In a nutshell my understanding now is that:

•

Cranfield and Surrey both have very strong engineering programmes and well connected in the industry.
