Please help! Aston or Warwick

Hello there,
I have received an offer from both Warwick, for their Business and Law course (BA), and indeed Aston, for their Law and Management cource (LLB). Can people please give me some advice on these cources and of which I should choose.

Thank You

Well Warwick is more prestigious, but if you plan on becoming a lawyer you'll have to consider the fact that the course offered is a BA, not a qualifying law degree i.e. LLB (like Aston).

Is an LLB more respected by Law firms than that of a BA?

No, it doesn't matter if you do an LLB or a BA if you wish to become a lawyer, a BA isn't frowned upon, my point was that it would simply take you longer to qualify as you'll have to do a conversion course after your degree. I personally would go for Warwick.

Thank You but you do 4 years to do the BA but I do not believe you have to do a conversion cource, OR do I?

Is Aston a respected college? Not as Much as Warwick?

As it's a BA course it therefore isn't a qualify law degree, so if you wish to become a solicitor you'll have to do a conversation course, the CPE?

Aston is respected, just not as much as Warwick.

I don't actually know the specifics of that course, but the mere fact a Law degree is BA doesn't automatically 'therefore' make it a non-qualifying degree. Some aren't, but there are also some that are.

I guess it's best for the OP to check whether or not the Warwick course is qualifying or not on the website or just email the uni.

Tough choice! I'd be a bit worried about the lack of LLB from Warwick though.
