Hi,

I am struggling to decide what to do. I have received an offer for a 2year MSc prgramme at LSE, which also offers a term abroad and graduation with two titles through the CEMS (Masters in International Management) and a one year MPhil degree from Cambridge also in management.

I intend to do an MBA in a couple of years in the US and I am not sure, which degree/Uni will look better on my CV.

Is there a difference between MPhil and MSc?

Also, the MSc is apparently going to enable me to start at a higher level in my career, whilst after the MPhil I will still be on the same level as all other undergraduates.

The difference in costs and life style did not help me to make a decision...so I would be grateful for any advise or opinions on the reputation of those courses and which uni will be better for postgraduate studies in Management. (P.S. I had lots of internships but my undergraduate degree had nothing to do with economics, business or management so the fact that the MSc is a two year degree, does not necessarily mean it would be a waste of time... it seems more practical than academic anyway).
