Hey, I've got an upcoming interview to study at UWE for optometry next September. I don't think there will be too much of a difference between both universities in terms of teaching of the course as the syllabus would be the same. Bristol has a gold TEF rating whilst Plymouth has silver, so that could be a factor. But also since they are quite a distance away from each other maybe you could choose a uni that's closest to home. Would make life a bit easier for you, hence why I've choose to Apply for UWE. Also since your a Muslim you could find out which city will best cater your needs in terms of food, community etc, as it will play an important part in your uni experience. Good luck on whatever decision you make.
