This is an impopssible to answer! You can use the Times Online University rating to help but it really is a question of course content and location. Start by researching the course in depth, which may include looking at graduate destinations, how the course is taught, what options are on offer etc. and then think about where you want to be for 3, 4 or even more years.
There are lots of books to help in the school careers library.
