Part 2: Sheffield/ UWE/ Edinburgh/ Newcastle/ Lon Met

Hey all,

I did my part-1 at Kingston University and I've been working for a year in London, and it's now time to go back and do the part-2! I've received offers from Sheffield, London met, UWE, Newcastle and Edinburgh and was wondering whether anyone could lend a helping hand to guide me...

I spent my working life surrounded by sheffielders, so I wonder whether that's influenced my high thoughts of the school? Similarly, Kingston students always end up at Met. Edinburgh seems beautiful and UWE seems like a different course all together!

I'm interested in the research and practice of architecture built for communities and trying to think forwards on how to revitalise both cities and deprived areas. Following uni I would love to work internationally for a few years, in Africa/ South America on community projects, and then in either the states or Australia. Does anyone know which uni might be best regarded internationally?

Many thanks in advance,
Chris
