UCA and Dmu

I have received offer from UCA for MA Fashion Design and from DMU for MA fashion and textile . I am confuse which college to go with. Which college has better reputation and better industry connections for jobs?
I have heard about issues for visa approval after depositing fees . Does anyone have any idea about it?

I think dmu has much better industry connwctions and you’ll have better chances for part time placements too
Uca is in Farnham which is farrrr away from every big city making it harder to attend fashion events and networking
Yes, DMU is better located if living in a city/having good transport links is valuable to you i.e. for attending events - it's also just a bigger university with a really wide range of fashion courses so you're probably more likely to meet people studying similar subject areas to you. I would say both universities are well known for their art courses, though - I don't think there's a bad option here, it somewhat comes down to which feels like it would be a better fit for you. Have you looked at their showcase work? Do you think there's one that aligns more with the type of work you're interested in?
