So I have been accepted into Vlerick's Masters in Financial Management, and also into RSM's Pre-master in which I can do their Finance and Investments Masters afterwards. So Vlerick would only take 1 year, while RSM would take 2 years. I will be 21 upon starting either programme so it may not be much of an issue to take a longer route. Vlerick's MiFM is ranked higher by FT's 2020 finance masters ranking, however, most people seem to advocate for RSM.
My goal is to get an asset management role at a boutique, location doesn't matter much to me. I could get a head start at achieving the CFA by opting for Vlerick's shorter course, but many people say RSM offers better job prospects. I'm wondering what option you guys would choose?

Go to RSM, chances are most never even heard of Vlerick. Heck, I had to google it.
Many of the classes at RSM will overlap w/ CFA level 1, so you can do both. Doing the CFA is not an excuse to attend a school w/ a zero brand (Vlerick).
If do decide to pick Vlerick, you better be a native Dutch speaker because it's hard to see any int'l firms hiring from there. RSM on the other hands have a strong showing in the city (London), broader global rep and more int'l firms hiring their students.

RSM is a well known name. I can't say the same about Vlerick... as JohnnyBlaze mentioned as well. Most Master's programs are 1-year... even RSM's MBA is 12 months. It is a bit surprising that the RSM's is a 2-year long program for MFIN but that may be an advantage.... perhaps you can fit in an internship?
Sorry not going to be super helpful
Try the current students from both programs and make sure to connect with them rather than just get the basic "nod" or whatever. This is a BIG decision and it will impact the rest of your life pretty significantly. You don't want to be regretting it down the road when things will be tough (they will be tough at both programs by the way, that's just a given) so when things are tough, you want to be certain in your choice and not waiver!
Good Luck!
Congrats!
