Should I choose a higher-ranked university or a better-fitting course?

Compare what each course actually makes possible. A reputation premium may be worthwhile when it provides relevant access you can use. A better-fitting curriculum may matter more when you need specific skills. Verify compulsory modules, projects and recruitment evidence. Do not decide until the trade-off is explicit and the higher cost, if any, is justified.
