Hi,
This is my first post so please be gentle. I am deciding between Queen Mary and UCL. I've read that UCL has a better reputation than QM but this year almost none of the courses in my area - labour and social rights - are being offered at UCL. Should I choose QM for its courses or UCL for its reputation?

Any and all thoughts are very much appreciated.

As a general rule, I would say look for what you are interested in: there is a greater likelihood of you enjoying it more, and possibly doing better. In any event QM has a good reputation.
