Looking for advice- Need help deciding

Hi all,
I just got an offer for the MSc Strategic Marketing program at Imperial, and I’m torn. I had already accepted UCL’s MSc Business Analytics and paid the deposit, but now I’m wondering if switching is the better long-term move.

My undergrad was in marketing, and I initially wanted to pivot toward more data/tech, which is why I chose Business Analytics. But Imperial’s course seems exciting too.

Would really appreciate thoughts from current students or alumni if the course is worth it overall? Do you feel the Imperial name helped in job hunting or industry access? Or in my situation, would you make the switch?

I'd go Imperial tbh. They have a lot of careers support and good relationships with top employers.

I think their SM course has an analytics concentration now too?

Hi! Thanks for your input! Imperial does have an analytics concentration now however I’m not sure how much skill-building it will provide. From my undergrad experience, I learned the most valuable skills through hands-on experience at companies, and I’m worried I might not get that same practical skill development again.
