chemical engineering best unis

predicted:A* AAA (maths, further maths, physics and chemistry) GCSES: A* 9888877765 i am applying to chemical engineering/ materials sciences at these unis which have entry requirements in brackets chemical engineering: •manchester (AAA) •birmingham (AAA) •UCL (AAA) •Loughborough (AAB)

Materials science: •Imperial (AAA)

However i’ve only visited loughborough out of those. Should i have a uni with higher requirements like bath (A* AA) instead of birmingham. Which Unis are best for chemical engineering and have the best graduate prospects? I want somewhere with decent night and social life however with the best global reputation.
