Bristol or Nottingham for LLB law?

Hi guys,

I've applied for LLB law and received offers from both unis. I can't decide between the two, which is regarded as better by law firms? Is one significantly stronger when it comes to job prospects?

Thanks in advance!

both are horrible for the % of students getting a 2.1 or better for law, go somewhere else

Well, Bristol's is quite high (going off Unistats). It's Nottingham which is remarkably low.

back in september i spoke to a law course rep from bristol on here who spoke about it. it may have been the difficulty of the course rather than than the % though, im confident its the latter but not 100% now.

I think it's the percentage in first year, as I have heard that mentioned a few times as being quite harsh. But generally people like to big up their course. Maybe the Bristol rep has worked at one or two other unis in the top 10, but certainly not enough to form a valid opinion about the comparative difficulty of the course.
