Universities

Well, do you want to live in London or Sheffield? That's a pretty significant initial factor to consider.

Well i live in London so I guess it would be easier but I don’t really mind . It’s mainly about what university would be better for me career wise

That depends on what career you want to go into. For investment banking or management consulting, City. For anything else they're really equivocal.

Sheffield is the significantly better uni.

Data science

My impression is which university you go to isn't really a factor for that and similar areas in the computing sector. It's more about your ability to actually pass technical interviews and similar.

Okay thank you

Please be careful listening to the "advice" you get on here. This individual has talked about their "impression" of how data science would be viewed from different unis and given advice on investment banking and consultancy. However, I would seriously question what experience they have that provides them the insight to give such advice. Have they ever worked in Data Science or IB for example, what university did they go to? What was their degree in etc.
It's good you're discussing it, but I would recommend also looking at league tables, talking to people in the industry and getting an understanding of target universities for your career path. There are a lot of people on here who are overly willing to give their opinion but without any experience or insight that would make it useful.
