Senior Status (or Affiliated) Law Degree

Hi,

Basically, I'm going to be finishing my undergraduate physics degree in the near future, and have intentions of going into patent law. I have a few questions though, if anyone can answer:
1) Would a senior state law degree really make me any better off than going straight to a firm to train straight away with them?
2) Should I complete a masters in physics first (for anyone who knows about patent attorneys)?
3) Can I apply to both Oxford and Cambridge?
4) Would 2 years more degree work at either of these outweigh the costs due to benefits in the future?
Cheers if anyone knows anything.

1) They just require you to study a science degree and then apply. They provide all the necessary training.
2) Yes probably best. A lot of patent attorneys have masters minimum, and often a phd - though this isn't required.
3) No. One or the other.
4) I don't entirely understand this question.

Hope those help, anything else just ask :smile:

How does the senior status law degree at Kent compare to the Birmingham, Southampton, Nottingham or Queen Mary Senior status degree. Got a place at Birmigham but having cold feet about leaving essex.
