It is the department that you should be concerned about, not the university. There are poor departments in 'good' universities and good departments in 'poor' universities. Have a look at the Research Assesment Exercise Rating of the department you are interested in.
I was an undergraduate at Salford University, and the department I was in had a 5* rating. It all depends on the department. I can safely say that I was in one of the best for work and also extras as they regularly had nights out as a department (I headed the organising commitee for 3 years!) If you need anything else, just ask me.
Hi Kir. The career service is pretty good (I would say about average compared to most Universities, which is by no means a downfall!) In terms of job prospects, again it all depends on the department. It does have a good reputation as a research University and is getting a better reputation all the time. I'm no expert in the Built and Human Environment but if you go to their website that may answer some of your questions.
