Does university prestige matter? Is the course actually harder?

I have started receiving offers to study French with Linguistics this september. I'm just curious as to what the major differences are studying at a better ranked university (Uni of York) or one that's slightly lower? Apart from different institutions specialising more in certain subjects, will the actual content be harder? Greater depth of knowledge? Whether grades will be harder to achieve and attain, do employers in the future really consider which uni someone went to as long as they have the degree with a 1st or a 2:1?
