I can't say stuff about those particular universities, as I don't know anything about them to be honest. You'll be able to find out lots of stuff here though.

I'm currently studying at Sheffield working towards my masters in Nuclear Waste Immoblisation. The area here is great. The people are friendly, and the climate is okay... think Seattle for the climate. As for the subjects that you're interested in, I couldn't start to tell you how the programs are here. However, if you want to know more about the surrounding areas, and pubs, let me know.
