Ask the employers that you’re hoping to work for. They’ll know better than a bunch of 17 yr olds :wink:

Generally the best choice is the place where YOU will thrive - get the best degree classification possible for you and be motivated to get involved with all the extra curricular opportunities available to you alongside your degree. Both those things matter far more for your employability than the university name on your certificate.

I think you should go for the course of your choice as that will prepare you more for your career path

Depends on which the degrees are, which the universities are and what you want to do in the future.

You'll enjoy it more and it'll be less stressful. Going to an elite uni like Oxbridge and Imperial is very taxing on your mental health, but that's just my opinion.
