Bath vs KCL for engineering

Hello, just wanted some advice on if i should choose Bath (Integrated Mechanical and Electrical) then try and switch to Mechanical or choose KCL (General Engineering). I think Bath has a better engineering department and overall course but I like the London location and feel of the uni. Also does anyone know how hard is it to switch degrees within Bath? My top choice would be to study mechanical but I ended up not getting the grades I wanted and would have to choose the integrated course and then try and switch. Thank you so much!

Bath has the stronger engineering faculty, Kings isn’t a particularly big “engineering” university.

No idea how tough moving from mech+electrical to just mechanical, but I actually think mixed mech+electrical is a really great undergraduate degree for people wanting to work in a traditional mechanical engineering job (almost all mechanical systems are electrified in some capacity nowadays) so having a solid understanding of electrical systems is potentially very beneficial.
