LSE vs Kings

Hello TSR Community!
I’m currently a BSc (Hons) Media and Communications student at Loughborough University and aiming for a career in management consulting. My degree isn’t directly related to this field, but I’ve built relevant experience: I worked as a Lead Product Manager at an ESG tech startup and as a funding strategy consultant for a children’s educational startup. I’ve also gained strong leadership skills through university roles.
I’ve received offers for two Masters programs:
LSE: MSc in Innovation Policy – offers top-tier ranking and brand prestige, which could stand out on my CV.
King’s: MSc in Management and Technological Change – seems more aligned with my career goals in management consulting.
I’m torn between the prestige of LSE (which might open more doors) and the course content at King’s (which feels more relevant to what I want to do). I aim to do some internships during my masters to also gain some work experience on my CV in relevant industries (probono consulting roles most likely). For those in management consulting or with insights on these unis/programs, what would you recommend? Does prestige outweigh course fit, or should I prioritise alignment with my goals?
Thanks for any advice!

Both choices are great, and congratulations on the offers! Speaking of job prospects and your interests, I strongly suggest reviewing each program's core and elective modules to determine which one aligns better with your goals.
I also applied for the Entrepreneurship program at both universities (recently) and am still waiting for their deadlines.
Could you please share details about your application process? (When did you apply, How long after did you receive the offers and Did you have any interviews?)
Thank you!

I applied on the 30th Jan (LSE), and 2nd Feb (King's). Heard back from King's first (24th Feb), and LSE next (4th Mar). Didn't have to do any interviews and got into my first choice at LSE.
Best of luck on your application!
