Does MSc vs MA matter for employability? (social research methods)

Hi, I’m planning on doing a masters in social research methods and noticed some unis offer it as an MSc and others as an MA. Does the degree title actually matter for future employment or is it mainly about the modules? Currently deciding between Manchester (MSc) and Durham (MA). Manchester leans heavily towards quantitative methods, whereas Durham seems to have more of a mixed methods approach. Also curious whether staying at the same university as my undergrad (vs switching) is seen as a drawback. Thanks!
