    Hi,

    Which amongst the following courses will be the best :-

    Wireless Communications (Southampton)
    Communication networks and signal processing (Bristol)
    Telecommunication Electronics (Glasgow)
    Data Communications and Wireless Communications ( Sheffield )

    I have offers from all four, please help me to choose by giving your feedback about the overall course, job prospects and scope.

    Southampton for Wireless Communications is amazing. Southamptons reputation for anything related to computer science is way better than anyone else.

    Oxbridge/Imperial would probably be considered the overall strongest compsci departments in the UK at postgraduate/research level, then Manchester/Edinburgh/Southampton/Bristol just below that, and Glasgow slightly lower (check QS/ARWU if you dont believe me).

    We are talking about very small differences though, all 4 are very good universities

    I dont know anything about Wireless Communications in particular though, its possible one of those universities is especially strong in that area.
