I've got a huge dilemma here, and hopefully you'll be able to help me.

I'm new to this forum but I've seen there is a lot of brilliant people here posting good answers and being really helpful. Hopefully I can find someone who can help me with this question.

I've been offered a place in both City University and St Andrews Universtity to course a MSc course. "Business Systems Analysis and Design" and "MSc in Management and Information Technology".

My question is, what do you think about both universties? What is the best MSc?

Thank you very much!!

I don't know much about either University nor about the topic I'm afraid. But what I would say is take a lot of time over the decision. Approach other academics in the field - just google your favourite authors and send them an email and ask them for a telephone conversation or email dialogue - whatever floats your boat, or even a meeting. You could ask your tutors/supervisors from your undergrad course and meet up with them. You should approach this much more rigorously than say, how you picked your A Levels, as it is the very start of your academic career so will have a huge impact. It took me seven years to decide on the institution, the topic for my dissertation and perhaps most importantly the teachers for my taught Masters. I'm not saying take that long over it, but you could put it on hold for a year - the two courses sound pretty different to me and it sounds like you might be rushing into it. Find out if it's a taught masters largely (which is what you want, because if you end up doing a PhD you won't have any teaching, so you don't want to get dumped in the deep end at this stage in my opinion.) Have you decided on the topic of your final dissertation/project? The earlier you decide that the better - pick your institution/tutors AFTER this, then you can go to the best institution and tutors for your specialised topic. Go to the careers service at your current University and discuss it with them too. If you're unsure about the topic for your final project/biggest examinations then I would recommend finding the thing in your life/studies that you're most passionate about - because chances are it'll be with you for a very long time. Remember that at this stage - you're picking them. You're the cream of the crop if you've got onto a Masters so you want the best fit for you, not the other way round.
