I did electronic engineering yonks ago and, for me, the industrial year was invaluable. Gave me a taste for industry, a great idea about final year options and a real advantage to my CV. I ended up working for the same company I did my industrial year with.
In all honesty, a 1st degree is just a start, very quickly experience and expertise becomes more important. It is YOU who is employable, not the degree on your CV. Go for the uni you will enjoy more, work hard and the results and career will follow.
