Been looking at UK and German forums and so forth and im still considering one of the two - but leaning towards Germany, mainly due to the living arrangments of where i can stay with my relatives rather than rent an apartment what would save me a whole heap of money.
In the end it will more than likely come down to what jobs are available within the country and how easy it is to find a job.
I would also look at what your ability to extend is. 12 months is not a long time. Look at other factors aside from rent free living, where are you going to have more fun. With your qualifications how easy will it be for you to extend. Most working visas require at a minimum a bachelor's degree. What are the chances of being able to get sponsored by a potential employer? If it turns out that it's quite low that you will get sponsorship at the end then you may want to consider the UK which will at the least give you an additional year.
My own opinion is that if I were to move to the other side of the world I probably wouldn't want to be living with family. Take the opportunity to strike out on your own, in the long run it's good for you.
