I may be over-thinking this but could do with some objective opinions. I've been offered the chance to do a PhD at a university that is very up and coming in this particular field (education/social sciences). My first degree and MA are from Rusell Group universities. This university is more of an ex-poly type place. I personally think it's excellent in its field and will give me access to fantastic supervisors and resources. However every time I tell anyone where I am thinking of studying they pull a face and imply that it won't be worth the paper it's written on! I find this academic snobbery all a bit ridiculous, but I've encountered so much of it now that I'm beginning to wonder! Does it matter that much where the PhD is from?
