Hello everyone, some help needed, please!

I have applied to 2 programmes: MSc Corporate Governance and Leadership at the University of Northampton, and MSc Management and Corporate Governance at Ulster University. Both programmes confer the GradICSA after completion.

I do not know which one to choose! I am an international student, so Northampton is less expensive in terms of course fees, but I wanted to know if someone has advice on:
- comparisons of the courses
- Jordanstown/Belfast vs Northampton (living costs, entertainment, shopping etc)
- work prospects after graduation

University of Northampton:

Northampton is in England while Ulster is in Northern Island, so in terms of movements to other parts of mainland UK or indeed Europe, Northampton in my view is well placed in that regard. In terms of job prospects AFTER graduation; well as long as you're on UK visa, you can travel to any part of UK be it Scotland, Wales, England or Northern Ireland and look for a job BUT job prospects are quite slim in UK these days for non-EU (international student graduates) after the abolition of Post Study Work Visa. Most job opportunities are open to UK/EU citizens and it's not uncommon to see adverts explicitly stating "UK/EU citizens only". This can also be attributed to the complexities associated with getting a work visa and the demand placed by UKBA.

In terms of cost, entertainment; Jordanstown Campus is few miles away from Belfast city centre. University accommodation for both Jordanstown and Belfast campuses are in Jordanstown. But many students prefer to live in Belfast City centre where there's pretty much everything and you will be able to interact with students from the "sister" university Queen's University Belfast (QUB). So if you're the type that loves bit of entertainment/shopping, Belfast City centre is good for you. There are so many houses and you may share a house with other students from both Ulster and QUB. Monthly rentals in shared accommodation can be in the region of 200-300 pounds per individual. Belfast City centre and Jordanstown is regularly serviced by train and buses.

I think Ulster Business School is a good school, I know someone there doing another MSc programme and they love it.

All the best
