    Sheffield or Leeds for Mechanical Engineering?
    first of all, I want to be a F1 chief mechanic.

    According to Guardian university ranking, they said Sheffield is better than Leeds.

    However, my collegues and seniors said that Leeds has great reputation for Engineering.

    Which University is better?

    Sheffield or Leeds

    Tell me some reasons.

    First of all, the Guardian guide, is not so good, according to my opinion.
    Try the times and the independent one, which give more weight to the research and employability.
    Further more, if you go to the times higher education 2012, the Leeds University scores really high in the 100 world-reputation guide.
    Anyway, I think that Leeds scores higher in the world guides, and the Sheffield in the Uk ones. It's up to you, I will probably Firm Leeds for Mechanical Engineering
