You've got this completely wrong to be saying all of this.
An MBA is a post-experience qualification. Look at the most elite business institution in the UK - London Business School and they offer the MiM for non-experience students and the MBA is at minimum 3 years experience, as the case studies try to use previous experiences and how they would be done better.
To be asking about an MBA at Oxford, again, completely wrong, as you wouldn't be considered at all.
The most bizarre thing is that you have studied law for 3 years and then say proudly that you have a solid 2:1 but then that you know that you won't do anything with law in the future?! I'm beyond confused.
A lot of lawyers go on to work in the City amongst the traders and bankers, finance requires a lot of contracts some of which are in tricky regulated areas so there is always plenty of work for a financially adept lawyer.
A lawyer would find a lot of work and interest in mergers and acquisitions, which is an important part of business, as acquiring can really change the dynamic and position of business in a market.
I would ultimately recommend the
LL.M. in International Corporate Governance, Financial Regulation and Economic Law at the Institute of Advaned Legal Studies at the University of London. You don't need a law degree to enter the course, you would find yourself amongst economists and management students.
With a combination of a Sheffield LLB and the IALS LLM, I would be looking at
HMRC Graduate programme (Taxation) which would lead into a great career in government: Treasury, FCO etc and after so many years 5-8 years minimum, there would put you in a great position for a career in the City: Goldman Sachs, Bank of England,
Hedge Funds.. Hedge Funds particularly deal with keeping money in shadily regulated areas and would pay really really well and you would be working in Mayfair, they would love you so much for having an inside knowledge of how the government, (FCO and HMRC) and regulation works.
Alternatively, I would recommend learning business or finance at masters level and the best I have seen in London would be Newcastle University's new London campus offering courses for £5900, which is fantastic as KCL and QMUL offer masters for 11k - so
Banking and Finance or
International Business Management.
A law degree can be really useful for a career in sales, so pursuing masters might not be necessary.
if you got moving, you could apply for September but there is nothing wrong with getting some work experience and having a long holiday and doing lot's of research into your preferred masters in September 2017.
* The IALS LLM is accepting applications up to 31st August so clearly they have places for enthusiastic and bright students who can make most of the programme.
** Again another alternative and possible the most exciting is at ULIP - University of London in Paris, which now offers an LL.M. with which you can specialise in banking and finance law!
ULIP LLM, taught in english which is delivered with
Queen Mary in LondonTo be able to live in Paris for a year and recent events of the Brexit won't be an issue to getting a student visa! Definitely something to consider seriously!
ULIP LLM modules being:
- Corporate Finance Law
- Financial Models and Derivatives in a legal context
- International Insolvency and Debt Restructuring
- International Banking Law
Paris is fascinating as a international financial centre and London would appreciate your experience of their twin sister.
