Hello all,
I have recently been accepted into both KCL Msc International Management and UCL MSc Management program for September 2017 entry. I am from the U.S. and would eventually like to end up back here for work. I am under the impression that UCL is the better option as far as graduate destinations and the companies that recruit from UCL vs. KCL, however as this is a huge move for me I have to make sure I make the right decision. Although my undergraduate degree is technically considered business, UCL has guided me down Route A in the program which I do not agree with but the program still appeals to me.
I am going for my masters sort of as a career change as I can’t get the type of job I want with my current degree. Both are around the same price so hoping loans will cover tuition. Ideally I want to end up working in advertising for a company such as Ogilvy, or in consulting for a company such as KPMG, etc. Another problem i’m going to encounter and am concerned about is the visa restrictions… since I will be a postgraduate student I am limited to working 20 hrs. per week so do not know how I can gain any work experience at a large company because they look to hire FULL TIME summer internship students. I do not know how I will be able to gain work experience and don’t want employers at career fairs to not consider me because of my restrictions.
Any feedback would be helpful as I have to decide within the next few weeks!! Thanks!
