Im applying for uni and i added a course at kingston university which is pharmacology with a year in industry but i just found out that reading university also has the same course. Kingston has lower previously accepted grades and a gold TEF rating while reading has Silver TEF and a higher previously accepted grades chart so im kinda confused on which to apply for. Im applying to phatmacology as a back up since MPharm is my first choice. Helpp plsss

Be aware that none of these 'badges' mean anything in reality - and they certainly dont mean that you will like the course more or enjoy being at that Uni, or that you are more likely to have a great career or an instantly happy life.
More important will be opportunities for any sort of work placement or study abroad as part of the course - these add heaps to your graduate CV. Most employers don't actually care about 'which Uni' - they are more interested in what else you did at Uni and your degree grade.

Great to hear that you are thinking of studying at Kingston! I have a few friends here that study MPharm and really enjoy it, they have lots of great placement options so you can get good hands on experience.
I would personally really recommend going to an open day for both unis if you can, as it will really give you a good idea of what the courses are like and a feel for the universities. It is also a good chance to see the facilities and speak to staff and students. You can book a place on the next open day on the website Open Days and events | Kingston University London
