PWC flying start-Options?

Hi everyone, 

I'm a UK student going to university next year and I have an offer for 2 'target/semi-target' schools in the UK and also an offer for the PWC flying start program in audit at a russel group uni, but not a target.

I'm keen on the flying start because of the opportunity to work and study but will I be held back from certain industries because my degree isn't from a target/semi-target? When it comes to experienced hires in corporate finance etc. does uni brand name matter as much as grad jobs?
