What are the best non russel group universities for Law?

No worries, I can see why, a lot of people on these forums can come across as quite hostile.

I honestly think it's a misconception, because it is generally a very competitive course, people just assume that you have to go to a top university in order to be able to secure a training contract. The reality is that although academic prestige does play a small part, there are a lot of other skills you have to be able to demonstrate in order to be considered (determination, attention to detail, confidence etc). If you can get these across in your applications and demonstrate those in your interviews then you're likely to get a TC at least somewhere, as opposed to relying merely on prestige.

Other courses such as engineering, there's a big demand for, as well as those studying computer science/programming. One of my best friends studied programming at Huddersfield (not a particularly great uni) but managed to secure a grad scheme with Ubisoft. So it's similar in that if you demonstrate the necessary skills, without going to an amazing university, you can still do relatively well. (Not saying that stands for all cases though)

I'm not complaining, I'm pretty grateful for it. I've received some solid advice from yourself and others. I'm just not so quick to attempt to give advice myself, because I know I'll only get called out for it.

Thank you! I try to be friendly, but I can often turn into the opinionated "douchey" kind too, so it's a bit hit and miss.

I mean personally I always thought that it doesn't matter what uni you go to and I thought that logic applied to all courses but like I said I read those articles which are actually spreading misinformation.

I also know that the skills/mindset you personally posses are important in helping to secure a job. Oh wow that is amazing I use to want to work for Ubisoft when I was younger and to be honest I think most people can, especially if they are tired or whatnot.

Prestige can matter for certain firms and sectors. Skills and mindset are important but other factors also matter such as previous work experience and interview experience. (Graduate interviews are very different from any interviews you are likely to of taken before in large companies with high competition )

You should feel more confident giving advice. You speak a lot of sense, particularly in this post.

That was only one time I did that and it was only because it was a law-study help thing. It is more acceptable to have diverging opinions about legal careers.

This is my first time in the really getting involved in the law forum to be honset lmao, I never knew it had a reputation.

This all turned into a debate that completely didn't answer the OP's question so to bring it back to the question, I'd say Kent, Leicester, UEA and Lancaster are ones to look into x

Okay that is confusing but then I am tired. Funnily enough I looking into a research based career in physics but I haven't really learned much information about how the graduate interview plays out.

And the bum and the poo thread but I can be sensible sometimes!

Ah ok, I'll be honest I know nothing about how interviews go for a research based career but best of luck! My area of expertise is just the graduate schemes you find on gradcracker and the like.

I firmed the University of Sheffield. However, do not have an insurance choice and I am unsure if I did well in my exams. A recruiter for law said that Oxford Brookes and Northumbria are good non russel group universities for law.Is Northumbria a good choice
