University Offers for Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering

Hello,
I'm currently an A-Level student and have just got offers from Exeter, AAB, and Newcastle, ABB, for mechanical engineering, and Sheffield for Aerospace engineering, AAA. I've also applied for Warwick, mechanical engineering, and Birmingham, aerospace engineering.

I know I want to use Newcastle as an insurance, but I'm unsure at what university I'd choose as a firm, between Exeter, Sheffield, and Warwick if I had an offer from them.

I currently live between England and Spain, have a deep interest in sports, and plan to do my masters in Europe once I finish with my BEng in the uk.

Any opinions and views on the different choices for my firm uni would be great if possible.

Sheffield aerospace is probably the strongest “reputation” because the course has longstanding links to Rolls-Royce (aerospace engines), and one of the most well known CFD platforms Ansys fluent was originally developed at Sheffield.

In terms of overall prospects all the unis are pretty reputable, it’s more about the environment you want to be in.

Thanks for the informative reply mate,

I actually just did a week of work experience with RR on aero engines so its cool to know they've got links there.

It's super early in the decision making process obviously, so I'm going to go to some offer holder open days to see what unis stand out to me. Was super drawn to Exeter because of where it was and the sports etc. Sheffield feels like a really good quality university and course, Warwick the same.
