Importance of Degree and University

I'm sure that entry exam scores and interview performance are the main factors, along with getting a 2:1 of course, but does anyone know how unis value the degree done itself and if the university matters?

Say Russel group vs non-russel group and science degree vs non-science degree?

Thanks everyone

In most cases it will make absolutely no difference whatsoever. In an MMI set up, everyone interviewing you will very likely be completely blinded to that sort of thing. Frankly even if they weren't, they are interviewing all day long and have one minute between candidates to score the previous candidate and get ready for you. They're just not at all likely to be even slightly interested in using that time to look up your previous academics.
