which urban design masters course?

I am trying to compare Masters of Urban Design taught courses offered in the UK from Australia and am wondering if anyone can offer advice on which courses are the most highly thought of? Choosing a course over the web is proving difficult.I've worked in urban design for the last 7 years here in Australia and my background is in Architecture. I have a particular interest in Urban design education for children so may do a dissertation on this topic. The 3 courses i am currently considering are at Oxford Brookes, the Edinburgh College of Art and Birmingham Institute of Art and Design. Can anyone help by summarising the reputation of each of these courses... Are there any univerities that offer a course with a fine reputation that i am overlooking?
