University of Herts I think they may have a successful Formula Student team but I am not sure.

thank you that was useful!

The reason it is useful as a lot of F1 teams and motorsport companies may recruit from them instead of say City. It depends also what you want to do when u graduate ? Where you want to study ? Which course structure you prefer ?

For mechanical engineering, Herts might have a slight better rep, City isnt really known as an engineering uni. Whereas I do know Herts takes Formula student seriously and probably reasonably well invested in their engineering program.
But their are other things to think about. City is in London, whereas Herts is just outside. Do you want to live in a giant city...

Bit hard to tell from here whether not genuine or not or being sarcasm.

Thanks, I hadn't considered that
I want to manufacture cars. I live closer to Herts and City is a 1 hr commute :// But apparently City has a better rep so Idk.
Think for mechanical engineering courses will always be very similar so that's not a big issue.
Appreciate the help so far!

City is probably more well regarded on the whole.

So do you reckon Herts is better in regards to employment?
I used to live in London so that's not an issue.

If you want to work in engineering, stacking CV is more important than the uni itself. The difference is not like Imperial V Herts where I would have a different answer.

I doubt it makes a huge difference,

What do u mean by stacking CV ?
What do u mean by stacking CV ?
Doing projects that highlight attributes employers look for
Internships
student organisations
leadership roles
Just things that an employer thinks would make a great addition to their company
