I find in STEM that's not such an issue.

I mean I studied Physics at a good UK Uni but it isn't like one of the best in the world or anything.

Then I did Neuroinformatics at Edinburgh which is really competitive due to their reputation in AI etc.

It was fine, ultimately linear algebra etc. are the same wherever you learn it. I think in less objective and more qualitative fields the reputation of the University etc. counts a lot more.

As someone who's taken two linear algebra courses at different schools -- it's really not. When the expected level is familiarity with basic concepts vs. being prepared for a top-tier graduate degree program, the course content becomes very different. When this is aggregated over all of your courses, then you start to get a gigantic disparity.
