LSE LLM v Oxford BCL v Cambridge LLM?

Hi. I am an international student who has been accepted into these programs. :smile:

I am trying to decide what to do.
My boyfriend is coming with me and he is a lawyer with seven years experience. He could definitely get work in London. Is anyone aware of any legal work opportunities in Cambridge or Oxford - has anyone been in the same situation?
I am also leaning towards LSE because I am most interested in human rights law and international law and I am very impressed with LSE's credentials in this area.
Thanks!

If you're more concerned for your boyfriend's career go to London.

Me personally I'd go to Oxford.

Oxford BCL has an amazing reputation, I'd go so far as to say its unrivalled in the UK :smile:

. However, if LSE specialise more in the areas you want to study then you might want to weigh up what is more important to yourself.

LSE have an amazing reputation for human rights - dont be afraid of them

Oxford's BCL for me.

OP

Thanks for the comments everyone.
Does anyone know of any legal opportunities for partners in Oxford or Cambridge? Are there any nearby cities (30 min commute or less) where there would be opportunities?

Manches is a large, well-respected firm in Oxford. Don't know about Cambridge. It is definitely possible to commute from both cities to London though.

No idea - there could be more given the magic circle status of the areas but ive never looked into it.

HI! I totally recommend Nottingham Trent, it's probably around the same as Harvard for employers tbh but I think Oxford Brookes is comparable in that category.
