University of London degrees.

When you graduate from a college that's a member of the university of London, are all of the degrees the same? For example, if you were to complete a degree in the same subject and classification as somebody at a different college, would the degree itself be the same? In terms of the physical degree itself and the weight in graduate prospects?

Cheers. :smile:

Not really. Unis under the University of London do vary in prestige quite a bit.

I'd be willing to be a UCL degree is held in greater respect than a degree from The School of Oriental and African Studies. Not that a degree from the latter isn't respected.

I think you get 2 certificates. One from UoL and one from your college. The college degree will then differ in 'prestige'.

Not a very fair comparison. SOAS is very specialised and thus not as well known as UCL which offers a broader variety of courses. SOAS is still extremely well respected in its field however.

Yes I know, however I was using it as an example as OP never stated which degree or which college he is looking at.
