Hard to say, neither imo as neither are particularly prestigious. I assume these are academic LLMs and not just the LPC disguised as an LLM?
Most UK students dont do academic LLM as they are keen to qualify. I would probably apply somewhere better.

Be warned the UK legal market is very competitive.
The UK will be going into recession and could be there for a long time due to covid 19.
Only do Corporate law if thats what you enjoy.

Hi!

Congratulations for both of your offers!

I am currently doing the LPC LLM at the University of Law. With regards to obtaining employment after completing the LPC/LLM the University has a really good employment/careers service and has links with many big firms. There are often legal evenings & networking events where lawyers from firms give talks and you have a chance to network with legal professionals.The careers service is really useful, you can book an appointment online with a designated careers specialist for advice about the future - this has been really helpful for me as they have helped with improving my CV and training contract applications. I think Ulaw really gears students for better chances of employment as they have an employment promise that if you do not get a job within 9 months after completing your LPC, you will get 100% of your fees back (50% cash back & 50% towards a further course)!

If you have any questions on how the course is taught then let me know, I am happy to help :smile:

A job is not necessarily a training contract just to be clear as this promise can be misleading
