Which course? For employability you really need to check in your own country/ countries where you have the right to work.

Hi @Jess_Lomas,

Hope you’re well! I think either universities will be credential to your degree/career however I do think the extra cost could be limiting your expenses whilst studying abroad. I’d recommend keeping your options open and find the right university for you whilst still being able to live and study comfortably. In my option, I don’t think the extra cost is necessary even though it’s a top university, what you achieve in your degree matters more! Demonstrating your passion in your career path will provide you more success more so than the university you choose to study at. Hope this comes as some inspiration to you.

All the best,
Ellie

Ah okay,
Thanks for explaining it
I didn't realise there was such a big difference for international students but I guess that's because of my ignorance

Short answer, yes

You should research where UK graduates are from in your home country and make a decision based on that. Your chances of a career int he UK are very small in any case, and definitely improved by goind to Sheffield over NTU. But it is which sells better at home that should be important to you.
