WU Quant Finance MSc or Rotterdam Financial Economics MSc?

I have to decide in 3 days but still haven't made my mind up yet. Which one would you choose?

WU Quant Finance MSc
- Pros: you learn to program in R very well and a well-rounded stats/maths background by the end of the MSc, which opens up more doors (for example if I decide later on that Im more interested in data science)
- Cons: Not a target (don't believe many people from here get into more elite positions, though it is the 19th best Finance MSc in the world according to QS, even ahead of Erasmus), 2 years long

Erasmus - Financial Econ MSc
Pros: Semi-target, 1 year long only
Cons: You don't learn to program so it doesn't open as many doors

My career goal is to become a PM
