It's very difficult to say which one is better or worse as it depends on a variety of factors. You need to think about what's important to you. Think about things like the course structure (most important) and other things like what optional modules are available, what work experience you can get, if you're interested in research then what research the schools do, where grads end up etc. Finance and the city can also play a role. See if the uni can put you in touch with current or former students.

You have to choose regarding your personal demands. Both are great Universities, but you should make a good search concerning courses/city life/research/employability etc.
As for me, I decided to study the MSc Environmental Design of Buildings in Cardiff

I haven't started yet! I will start this September. I am a EU student and I do not know much as well, but I think it is the best choice for me.

I was between Cardiff and Kent. Instead of the scholarship that Cardiff offered me, Cardiff has better reputation concerning Architecture and a better lifestyle as Cardiff is way bigger than Canterbury. Also, the courses are more interesting even though they seem to be more demanding. Even accommodation fees are less in Cardiff. Such things made my decision.
