    Firm City Univ or Queen Mary?
    I have an offer from City University - Business Computing Systems and one from Queen Mary -Information and Communication Technologies with Business Management,both universities are asking for the same grades that's why I don't know which one to firm.Which university/course is better and which has better job prospects? Any other information will be appreciated too.

    Well Queen Mary is more 'respected' and part of the university of London so if you're really stuck between the two I'd say go for Queen Mary.

    Queen Mary is more respected as an institution, as highlighted by its recent induction into the Russell Group.
    I don't know which course is better, but I imagine job prospects would be slightly higher due to Queen Mary's prestige.

    they're both good London institutions, so visiting might be a good idea. at least they're both in London, so you can even visit both in one day! this is a big decision though, so good luck location-wise, I would say City University, but as the others said, QMUL is probably the higher-ranked institution. anyway, good luck!

    Thank you! Yes, I would love to visit both universities, but i can't because I live outside the UK. I heard that QM has a better reputation but at the City Univ I will have a placement year. Is it worth going there for this?
