Portsmouth or Leicester

Finished my Ba (Hons) Business Administration degree in Portsmouth and planning on doing a masters degree. I am thinking between Portsmouth and Leicester. Also, i find Portsmouth very comfortable and perfect for students. I got used to it and i know a lot of people there. Is it worth moving to Leicester (Starting fresh) to do a masters degree or stay in Portsmouth? What is your view on the situation?

My final choices are (Accepted by both):
MSc Marketing at University of Leicester (Ranked high academically)
MSc Innovation management and entrepreneurship at University of Portsmouth (Ranked average-good academically)

:confused::confused:

PS. I'm an EU student from Cyprus

Im at leicester now and id say stay in Portsmouth. Leicester is pretty unorganized and I find they don't deliver on many of their 'start of course' promises, but that might just be my course, even though somehow it was voted one of the best. :s-smilie:

Whilst ranking is fairly important the universities specialisms are as well- these need to match your interests to make the course worthwhile. Plus you have chosen two different courses so you need to consider which content you prefer.
Two totally different courses, and neither Leicester nor Portsmouth is especially famous for either of these areas so it isnt going to make any different which Uni you choose - the most important thing is choosing the course you will enjoy the most because that is what will get you good grades and enable you to have a happy and fulfilling time.
