That depends on a whole lot of factors and your personal preference.

Think about location - do you want to be in the busy, social area of London, or would you prefer to be elsewhere? Cost of living comes under this: would you be able to stay at home and save money if you went to a certain uni, and how expensive is it to live in each of these areas?

The content of the courses - what differences are there in what you'd learn from uni to uni, and are there any modules, topics, ect, that particularly stand out to you as being of interest or not of interest?

The social aspect of uni - is one uni more well known for being social than another? Which scene would you prefer?

If all else doesn't help narrow it down, you could always pick based on the prestige of the uni or course, but just because it's a 'great' degree or uni doesn't mean it will be great for you.

What do you consider the pros and cons of each?

Personally I'd hate to study in London but for you that might be a massive pro

Hi there,

This totally depends on what you want out of your uni experience.

Which has the course contents/modules you find the most interesting and inspiring?
Which campus makes you feel most at home?
Which city feels like you'd be happy living there for the years after your first year?
What's the cost of living like in those cities?
Is there enough to do and see for you?
How far away would you be from home? Would you be living in halls or commuting?

All of your choices are very high-performing unis for your subject area and so I'm confident that whichever you choose you'll get a very high standard of academics and teaching. Its just about you looking back at the course specs and how you found the open days and assessing what course would set you up for the future you want to aim for and where you'd feel happiest living.

As for your insurance choice, this would ideally also be somewhere you'd like to go to, but with required grades 1-2 grades lower than your firm/your PGs.

I hope this helps a bit, best of luck in your choices 🙂
