which uni??

Does it matter which university you gain your phd from?? Are phd's from lower ranking universities of less value than higher ranking universities??

It depends on what you do. The truth is, the league tables for research give a different ranking and even if a university has a high score for research, the department you apply for may be lower than most. With a PhD, it's also important who supervises you. a big name in the field can be a real advantage and a small name can become bigger. and so will you. It's still an advantage to come out of a place like Cambridge with a PhD though.
