This might be kind of industry specific. I would not say this is the norm nationally or even locally. I reckon someone who studied Engineering at Strathclyde is going to have a fair few more options than someone with the same or similar degree from UWS or Caledonian. You leave the greater Glasgow area or Scotland (even just going down to England) and a lot of folk will have no idea what UWS or Caledonian is whereas they may know Strathy and certainly will know Glasgow.
Also OP is doing a joint course at Glasgow that is run with GSA which certainly has an international reputation for design and will almost certainty be more recognised internationally. Not saying anything is wrong with GCU or UWS (I am big fan of both institutions and the role they fill) but it sounds like OP is an international student and international reputation is going to count for a lot here. |
