For example, someone with a 2.1 in Maths from Oxford would probably be more highly regarded than someone with a 1st in Maths from Oxford Brookes. (no disrespect meant to Oxford Brookes but its probably fair to say its not regarded quite as highly as the 'other' university it shares a city with).
That
might be true in Maths but certainly not in Engineering where Brookes graduates are actively sourced above Oxbridge by industry and F1.
RG is a self-selected club - it does
not mean the teaching is better as the group are based around 'research'. Being a good researcher does not mean you can teach or that you are even interested in teaching. You might be surprised that Oxford Brookes asks all its academics to have lecturing qualification, Oxford does not.
RG means very little actually - you need to look at the subject you want to study and find out which unis are best for that and where the degree suits your career aspiration.
