Nottingham Trent or University of South Wales for cyber security?

Hey everyone
I've been offered a place to study MSc cyber security at Nottingham Trent and University of South Wales and finding it hard to choose. My undergraduate degree was a social science/humanities degree and so I don't really have a technical background. NTU offers a conversion course in cyber but when I enquired about it they said there's no introductory module, we'd just go straight into computer forensics and security management but that having a bit of knowledge in computing would be sufficient to start the course.Also their ranking is pretty good.
From what I've seen on the website USW has a good rep for cyber security, being awarded cyber university of the year for 4 years. They're also NSCS accredited, which NTU is not. Their facilities are designed to imitate a workplace which I find pretty cool. Plus I live close to the uni which makes it more convenient. However, it doesn't seem like they rank high compared to other unis.
Really appreciate any advice on this :smile:
