Law university

Advice on law university: SOAS or University of Nottingam - better for law?
They're about equal in terms of being 'good' universities for law, neither would disadvantage you in terms of employability based on their name alone. Things you might want to be considering are location (would you prefer London despite the high living costs, or a smaller city like Nottingham?), the course (SOAS offers some very niche optional modules you won't find anywhere else, Nottingham have a more conventional law course - which suits your interests more?), the course format (is one predominantly essay/exam based (this is available on their websites) what suits you?), what their bar/law societies are like (again, this can be researched on their webpages), and finally the extracurricular societies they have (Nottingham is better for sport, SOAS has some very interesting niche societies though - you can find these on their student union pages).
