Master in Finance in Asia, would that be a good idea?

Hello readers,

I am interested in potentially pursuing a master in finance at a University in Asia. I would not consider myself advanced enough to enter a top University in Europe (think LSE, Oxbridge). But I do think I am able to get into a top Asian University (Peking, Jiao tong). Would going to a tier 1 university in Asia be better then a tier 2 university in Europe? Does anyone have any information on the job prospects of international students going to Asian universities? I am open to start my career in London or Hong Kong.

Looking forward to everyone's input.
