We’ve told you Leicester is fine stop asking

I’m going to Leicester for law and although it’s good for law, it’s not highly ranked overall. I might not necessarily get a job in the legal field so I was wondering what my career/graduate prospects would be like in other fields.
How much do employers care about uni rankings.


If you’re not going into the field you’re studying for, an employer will want to know you have a degree, and that’s it.

I can only speak from my own experience. But employers do not really care. There is so much more to the application than what University you attended (this is why a lot of the larger firms now follow a blind CV process). You need to focus on other things, such as how you present yourself at interviews, what extracurriculars you are involved in, what grades you can achieve, part time jobs etc etc etc!
