Does the type of uni matter?

Got a question. For IT or engineering courses in general, would employers care about what university you go to? Say if you go to a lower ranked university, would it affect anything? When I mean lower ranked unis, I mean unis that aren’t well known by people and not found in the list of Russel group universities. Thank you, hope to be hearing from you guys on what you think

Not really. It only makes a difference for investment banking and management consulting for the most part, and even for those it's nothing to do with rankings or Russell Group membership, it's about whether it's considered a target uni by the bank/firm in question (and while most target unis are highly ranking members of the RG, there are plenty of other RG unis that are not target unis, and some other highly ranking unis in various fields that aren't target unis).

I should also point out the RG is nominally a postgraduate research consortium and actually a political lobbying group, and in either case membership has no bearing on undergraduate teaching (certainly not a positive one - if anything teaching may be worse due to being more research focused).

So would you say if you want to get into investment banking and management consulting, the type of uni matters pretty much? Do you know any other fields that require you to go to a specific uni if you know what I mean?
