For which degree subject?
And what do you mean by 'better'?

Both courses will be held to the same standard by the NMC and your future employers won't care where you studied. Instead focus on which uni will suit you best in terms of the timing and location of placements, availability and cost of accommodation (for all years of the course), social life, etc.

Manchester has better overall reputation and social life.

Reputation really doesn't matter for healthcare courses. :smile:

I agree. I was talking about reputation in general.

Adult nursing

For Nursing, it wont make any difference which Uni you go to - they are RCN accredited courses, with an identical syllabus, and all accredited courses qualify you as a professional nurse. This is an example of where 'RG' make absolutely no difference at all and will have no significance. The NHS will not care where you trained, and neither will your future patients.

if it helps !! i prefer uni of leeds’ campus (feels like a small town, very close to city centre) to uni of manchester (flat and spread out, far from city centre). i’ve been at leeds for 4 months now and i love it here!

I like that it is close to the city centre and I feel like I would like Leeds more than Manchester. However, Manchester does offer a lot of optional modules that I can do in 2 and 3 years for the course (adult nursing) I'm going to do, but Leeds doesn't offer optional modules.

i just had a look at the course on the leeds website and it sucks that you wouldn’t get optional modules :frown:

i’ve really enjoyed my optional module so it would be a shame for you to miss out on that !!

sorry thats not true leeds for nursing is excellent.. as is manchester. if you still at home can you study whilst staying there. it will save you a lot. the wife has studied at mmu, open uni. rgu and glasgow, my daughter is at edinburgh and another at aberdeen each uni has good and bad bits find the one whose teaching style bests suits your learning style. dont rush this ask current students. they will be honest with you. good choice of job and being a guy does not matter. in fact often we ae in demand

Thank you for the advice but I have just been rejected from Manchester for not meeting their requirement when I have.

I got rejected from uni of Manchester and went to uni of Leeds. Im glad I got into uni of Leeds as I think it’s less busy than Manchester but yet you get the city life. The campus is close to city centre too and social life is pretty good. However will say rent is really high - but I assume Manchester will be worse as it’s a bigger city.
