What does "better" mean? If you come out with QTS and a PGCE at either then you will be qualified to apply for roles in schools. I am not really sure why any employer in their right mind would turn down an application simply because of where someone studied. This concept is a myth yet undergrads seem to feel that prestige is everything. It is nothing.

Good luck!

I believe St Mary’s is better, since they’re ranked higher for student experience and teaching. They’re also well known for their teaching degrees compared to Roehampton
