Bristol vs Edinburgh vs Exeter vs Leeds

Hi I also applied to Edinburgh and Exeter for law this year!! Although I got into Cambridge which is my top choice. I’m planning on making Edinburgh my insurance if Durham doesn’t work out. The reason I prefer Edinburgh as opposed to Exeter is because I prefer the vibes of the city and the university facilities are top notch. Therefore, If you prefer Edinburgh as a place I would go there, as your much more likely to do well if you like the place you study. Also, as you mentioned that you’d like to practise at a US firm, therefore I’d say Edinburgh is probably better due to its international reputation. However, if you want to work in the UK I don’t think there are huge disparities between Exeter and Edinburgh (apart from edi doing Scottish law) and in that case it’s much more important to get a good degree class than where you went to uni. I hope this helps !!!

Not sure how you’ve managed to put Exeter first over Bristol and Edinburgh.
If I was to be a clueless TSR user and rank them, Exeter would be last.

Are you an international student?

Is the course at Edinburgh for common law?

Nah! Edinburgh doesn't offer common law

Not Exeter - its miles from anywhere, - its only plus point is one new-ish student-hub building, and surf beaches.
Edinburgh - Common Law? Remember that Scottish Law is different.
Leeds or Bristol - good sensible Unis, interesting cities.

Look at 'extras' - any study abroad opportunities, placements, Moot Court, Law Clinic etc etc.
Then look for campus tour films on YouTube, and tourist films for the city.

Why consider it then?

So how would you actually rank these for securing a good training contract

Congrats!

I also applied at Cambridge but sadly got rejected maybe it was because I got cocky and applied at trinity even though they say that college doesn’t make a difference but a family friend of mine who graduated from there told me otherwise.
Anyways, what college?
