Loughborough or Cardiff for town/urban planning?

I don’t know what to pick. Cardiff is good because it’s accredited by RTPI (royal town planning institute) and also RICS (chartered surveyors), yet Loughborough is an MPlan Degree but is not accredited. How do I pick?? Thank you :smile:

I personally would always go the accredited route - I think employers tend to favour it more.
Also, debatable if it means anything, but Cardiff is a Russell Group university whereas Loughborough isn't, though of course that's not to say non-Russell Group universities aren't good - they are. ☺️
Yeah I'd probably opt for the accredited one. Make sure you're happy with how the course is set up though.
