Hi,
I will be applying to study for the LLB in 2019, as a mature student.
I do not have the best A Levels, however, I did complete the Legal Method Certificate in Higher Education whilst working full-time and obtained a distinction, thus I am hoping that my not so favourable A Level results will be overlooked.
I have worked in the entertainment industry, mainly focusing on music and for the last couple of years I have been working in FinTech. I have finally realised that I definitely want to become a solicitor and obviously need to go to get a undergraduate degree to do so.
My question is, given my unorthodox circumstances, which universities do you think I will stand the most chance of being made an offer by?
I need to stay in London and am currently considering the following:
- King's College London
- LSE
- Queen Mary, University of London
- UCL
- SOAS
- Goldsmiths (new Law course)
Obviously, the first 4 are all Russell Group universities, which I believe would probably look better on my CV later down the line. The course at Goldsmiths does appeal, of course, it encompasses the traditional methods of assessment, but also uses the more practical aspects of the law e.g. mooting, presenting, drafting etc. to assess its student.
If any one has any opinion/experience of what my best options are likely to be, I would really appreciate your input, as there are only a few days left until I'll submit my application.
Many thanks in advance!
