You'd probably be best off asking in the Design Forum Employment topic, such as in my Qualifications topic. :)

I'd also like to know this aswell as I'd be considering my options at the end of the year.

With virtually any course, you get out of it what you put in. If you're doing a degree course, the nature of it is to pretty much allow you to dictate which direction your studies go in. It's nothing like school where you have a lesson and homework, and a strict set of subjects to learn. You'll have modules covering certain areas, but it's up to you to decide what you do within those modules, and to make it work for you. There's a lot of emphasis on directing your work towards any career path you might want to follow during/after the course too.

Basically it doesn't matter where you study now, as much as it might've done at one point. It's all about you, and what you want to do. Build up a great portfolio while you're soaking up all of the information thrown at you, and get as many live projects in there as you can.

thank you for that...
at the end of the day it's not the uni who will affect your future but still if there's an option...why not choosing the best? like everything in life... so, do you have any suggestions?

I went to Manchester Uni, and know loads who went to Liverpool. I'm based in the North and wouldn't go to a London uni anyway, to be honest! Manchester and Liverpool (and many other) unis have great reputations.
