MA/MSc International Relations - Which Uni?
I'm an international student and applied for QMUL, Bristol, Glasgow. As far as I observed QMUL is the one that has the least reputation among all. However, I was actually thinking to proceed with QMUL because of the London factor.
I do wonder which of these universities can open me more doors, and as a general experience which would you recommend in International Relations? You may also note that QMUL is a MA and the other two are MSc.
In addition, if you have another university in your mind, I can still consider another application, please share your thoughts with me.

Honestly at that level of Uni 'which Uni' is not going to make any difference at all.
MA/MSc - doesn't matter, MSc might suggest its more social science theory based, but not always.
Look at the optional units within each degree and think about which ones you would actually choose if you went there.
Find the Campus Tour films on YouTube - this will give you an idea of what each Uni looks like and 'feels like'.
Btw, QMUL may be in London - but its in Mile End, which is in the East End and not a great area to be in / live in.
Bristol and Glasgow will both be cheaper and just as interesting as London. Bristol : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=khM7tjui86Q, Glasgow : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k7ZqiSKIB9g
