Imperial UCL or Bath engineering

I have a biomedical engineering offer from imperial and mechanical engineering offer from UCL and bath. I would prefer to study mech engineering as it’s more versatile and opens more options as I’m not sure what I want to do after. I’m not sure if I should choose imperial because it’s not the preferred course and may limit opportunities. UCL is well known internationally but not the best for engineering and I’m afraid it might not have a great university feel as it’s in London. Bath is not internationally known and less reputable but is better for engineering

You wont go wrong between UCL and Imperial. My view is to choose the subject closest to your preference.

Personally, I would choose UCL.

See i would differ, id say choose Bath fot engineering as I feel most employers will like a better engineer. Best way to seperate is modules, both are very well respected in the UK. Modules and any engineering extra curricular is important, thats why im choosing Sheffield over Bath. Unfortunately i was unlucky and didn't get imperial
