Is it worth it to do a master's in corporate finance from Durham/ SDA Bocconi/ Skema/ QMUL etc?

My aim is to target corporate finance roles and I was wondering if such specialised master's are worth it.

What do you guys think of a corporate finance master's from the aforementioned schools or places like Cass, Neoma, Kedge etc 

 

Bocconi - yes

Rest - probably not worth it 

I already have an undergrad from Bocconi. I was wondering if second tier programs in the US are fine. For example, SMU, Nova

 

Why would you go from Bocconi to a second tier program? 

I think your profile would be stronger if you just left it as Bocconi as UG.

Because I am back to my country in Asia and no one here knows about Bocconi. I don't have the work permit to work in the EU hence I am looking for an easy way to get out. I mean the program's I mentioned aren't bad, no?
