It's human nature to choose the path of least resistance, as we're most comfortable with what we already know. Take the example of, "No one ever got fired for buying Cisco." But there comes a point in time when inaction becomes the greatest risk of all. Market transitions are real, and every product has a life cycle. Understanding these transitions and a vendor's product strategy is just as important--or sometimes more important--than selecting a specific company.

I have two offers- MSc AI at University of Edinburgh and MSc Machine Learning UCL. I am an international candidate(non-EU) and while my leaning is more towards Edinburgh, I can't find any international candidate(non-EU) who finished the course and managed to land a good job in the field in UK. However, I saw many such cases from UCL, which makes me believe that UCL is safe choice. I am interested in application of machine learning to AI, especially computer vision and deep learning. Edit: I will be taking out a loan to support myself, and hence the interest in safe choice.
