QMUL versus Goldsmiths
My daughter did a late UCAS application and has received unconditional offers from QMUL and Goldsmiths to study English Literature. She has 4 days to make a decision. Can anyone advise as to whether QMUL would be a better choice than Goldsmiths? Many thanks.

Hi @KittyNosworthy,
According to QS global uni rankings, for English Lang/Lit QMUL is 42, Goldsmiths is 97.

According to The Complete University Guide (UK uni rankings), for the same subjects, QMUL is 38, Goldsmiths is 48.

Both are reputable universities, but hopefully the side by side ranking, may provide a bit more context, particularly in line with future prospects etc.
Best of luck,
Marzinho
