Carddif University or Liverpool, Astronomy

So I got offers from both Cardiff University and Liverpool for Physics with Astronomy, and I have no idea which one to firm. I've applied both with a year in industry and I would love to know which is better in terms of a career and also salary. So if anyone can tell me which uni is better academically and even socially, dependant on this specific course that would be loveleyy!

Take a look at the data on The Uni Guide (for Physics with Astronomy at University of Liverpool and Physics with Astronomy at Cardiff University), particularly the data from the Destinations of Leavers from Higher Education Survey. It shows that six months after graduation, those from Cardiff are more likely to be employed or in further education, and (on average) earn more.
(Note that I've referenced the standard 3-year course for each, as I could find no evidence that Liverpool offered a "with a year in industry" variant. What UCAS code is that course?)

Hi, thanks for your help I did have a look at that but I wasn't sure how accurate it is and if I should really go by that. So Liverpool don't have a different course for the year industry, but they did say on the normal course information that it's offered and they said: 'If you wish to study this programme with a Year in Industry please put the option code YI in the Further Choices section of your UCAS application form'.

Understood. It's always good to be cautious about published data, as it can often be misleading. With regards to the data I referenced, you should note the following, which may impact your view on its reliability:
• The Destinations of Leavers from Higher Education (DLHE) survey was a survey of graduates six months after finishing their degree course to find out whether or not they are employed, and if so, what they are doing, whether they needed their degree for this, and how much they are earning. The data is sourced by the Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA), and draws on data for the 2014/15, 2015/16 and 2016/17 intakes; it was last updated in September 2018. As such, it can be considered quite out of date.
• The DLHE survey was replaced in 2018 by the Graduate Outcomes survey, the results of which are available at https://www.hesa.ac.uk/data-and-analysis/graduates. However, it's not nearly as digestible. (The Uni Guide are hoping to incorporate its data, but haven't managed to do so yet.)
