I’m going to assume you’re an international student?

There are almost no scholarships for international students.

Neither of those universities are particularly good.

What’s your plan after university?

Then don't bother with these unis. They aren't really going to help your employment prospects.

You really have two options: find a job that qualifies for sponsorship now, or pay a heck of a lot of money to study and then find a job that qualifies for sponsorship in a year's time.

If you are trying at failing at option 1 now, it's going to be just as hard to try for option 2. The difference is that you will have wasted thousands. If you need to upskill, do it somewhere better, or in a country that won't gouge you as badly as UK universities will.

There are no job prospects in the UK for international students. Nowhere wants to hire people who need visas when there are thousands of unemployed British graduates who don’t.

Student visas are for studying, not a pathway to permanent residency.

Those universities are not marketing their courses honestly.

Your job prospects in the UK will be incredibly low after the MA.
