Hi I have received conditional offers for Law from all 5 universities, which is great!
What are your opinions from the 5 listed about studying Law in respect to experience, employability etc.
I'm from Manchester for context. I've decided I do not want to go to Newcastle- it is a great university and has a good law school but I just didn't see myself there at the open day. That leaves
Manchester (AAA), Leeds (AAA), Lancaster (AAA) and Liverpool (ABB).
If i achieve A*AA would it matter to employers which university I actually go ie if i wasn't choosing Lpool SOLELY because of its ABB requirement?
All 5 are respected but I'd say Manchester is the most highly regarded of the 5 to employers. is this true? I've seen the chamber student report but I don't fully think its a valid source bc of who and what it sourced for data.
Strengths and weakness of all, feel free to comment/disagree/give more insight please!!!
Manchester- most highly regarded amongst employers, great city with endless opportunities to get involved in for both legal/non-legal areas
BUT lack of student satisfaction, no designated law building, plus i'm from Manchester so living in accommodation could be a waste of money but i don't want to live at home...
Leeds- highest in league tables of the 5, regarded well by employers, city links BUT whilst i love the city and like the actual uni, I'm not particularly fascinated by the course (nothing bad, just nothing unique to explain why i like it)
Liverpool- it's lowest in league tables of russel groups and has low entry requirements, typically 700/800 students in one year for Law...
BUT it offers my most preferred course!! That's for Law WITH accounting - which actually makes me feel more enthusiastic, and also how Liverpool offers its unique social justice module. I like the city. IDK how employers would see this uni!?
Lancaster- fantastic uni, ranked the best law school in the north west, i genuinely believe out of all 5, here there'd be the best support for students. They have many networking events but realistically how employable would a Lancaster graduate be in comparison to Manchester grads?
I want to have the best experience give me your ideas and which you'd choose, cheers guys
