Where to study a masters in urban planning and whether to do a degree apprenticeship

I am currently looking to apply to urban planning courses at either LSBU, UCL or Westminster however unsure which one to choose. UCL stands out however I studied my undergrad at a poly and worried about the step up if I were to choose UCL.
I am also unsure about whether or not to choose the masters course or degree apprenticeship option which these unis all offer. If anyone has experience from studying urban planning at these unis and advice about whether to choose a masters or degree apprenticeship course that would be great.

Hi, I realise this was a while ago but I'm also currently looking at either LSBU, UCL or Westminster to undertake a RTPI accredited masters course. I was just wondering whether you did end up at one of those unis and how you're finding it?

Thanks for your question; it's great you're considering LSBU for urban planning.
At LSBU, we offer both an Urban and Environmental Planning MSc and a degree apprenticeship route. Our courses are accredited by the RTPI and designed with strong industry links, so whether you choose full-time study or work-based learning, you'll graduate with practical skills and strong career prospects.
We understand concerns about coming from a polytechnic background; many of our students come from diverse academic paths, and we provide tailored support to help you succeed.
If you prefer a more academic route and flexibility after graduation, the MSc might suit you. If you're keen to work while studying and gain real-world experience, the degree apprenticeship is a great option.
Feel free to reach out if you'd like to speak with an advisor or current student; we’re happy to help.
