Warwick or RHUL for cybersecurity/information security MSC?

I am a prospective international student looking at choosing between Royal Holloway or Warwick for my masters in Cybersecurity. I really love Warwick and the teaching faculty, however RHUL seems to rank higher, especially in cybersecurity. Would I be losing out more if I pick Warwick?

You only study a masters for 12 months - that means that the most important thing is to pick somewhere you think you'll settle in quickly and get your best results (and be happy enough to take advantage of other opportunities alongside your course).

Both universities have accredited masters for cybersecurity so pick where you think you'll do best and thrive and be happy. Picking somewhere you think you'll be less happy is a silly decision.
