Thank you for the reply
Can I kindly ask you another question, I would appreciate it if you could help me out, I have two questions.
Q1. Say If I had an offer to do law at Warwick University (I dont, but say if I did), my question is, from a purely employability perspective (excluding my interests), would the law degree from Warwick open more doors than a philosophy degree from Warwick, whether I apply for law or non-law related Jobs? I'm asking to see whether a law degree has an edge over the philosophy degree (at the same university) in terms of employability, and which degree employers favor generally.
Q2. And also another question, this is not for me, it's for my cousin, but I'm also curious to know. My cousin finished his law degree at The City Law School, City University of London, graduating 66% on LLB-Law with Commercial Law, he now has an offer to do an LLM in International Tax Law at Queen Mary, University of London. He's also Intrested In philosophy like myself, and he has an offer to do an MA in Philosophy from Warwick University. Now which option do you think is best for him, from a purely employability perspective, whether he's applying to both law and non law Jobs/internships. Because in one way, City University is very good for commercial related subjects, whether in its law school, (in things like Maritime Law etc), or in the non law subject/degrees it has, and in his case seeing as he has an LLB - Law with Commercial law from there, would that not make for a powerful combination with a Tax Law LLM at Queen Mary when applying for law and consultancy jobs etc, wouldn't the combination of his first degree and second be more compatible and marketable and employable? Or (In your opinion) would you still say the same thing you said above even in my cousins case. That the MA in philosophy is better, simply because its at Warwick University, and Warwick is overall more reputable than Queen Mary in terms of the name as you say. If so then (and this is just to make sure) seeing as he's doing an MA in philosophy at warwick, and not the BA in philosophy from Warwick, would his situation be the same as someone who is doing the BA in philosophy from Warwick (as in my case if I pick it), would his situation not be viewed differently from the employers perspective? Would the employer not put more weight on someone who did a BA in philosophy from Warwick than someone who did an MA in philosophy from Warwick? Would they be deemed the same In terms of reputaion, prestige etc. By doing the MA, would he consume the prestige/reputaion of Warwick University, as if he did a BA in philosophy from Warwick, would that be the case from an employers perspective. Or would your advise be different for his situation than for mine?
I know it's a complex question, but I would really appreciate it if you could answer it if you can. Thanks allot.
