Law Ranking

Exeter is better than SOAS. What are her other options?

I don’t really understand the music point tbh. Realistically she isn’t going to pursue a career in music so I wouldn’t place much emphasis on that as a decision factor. Exeter will be a lot deader socially than other cities though if she’s bothered by that.

Posting for the child.

My child has an offer from Exeter which we chose as it was ranked higher in university ranking per Times UK and aligned with low predicted grades (AAB). I am revisiting this decision as there are other dimensions that we are considering.

a. One dimension is employment by city firms. We live in London Suburbs and so prefer a job in city firms. As per this, Exeter does not have good pay compared to some other universities such as SOAS. I would think, this is because SOAS is London University.

What do forum members think about it. We understand money is not the most important, but right now, that is an important consideration to decide on the course.

b. Music: My child would like to explore Singing as career, which she has neglected past 2 years. London and Manchester are famous for Music, so wonder which university can be good place for both Law and Music ? she will not study it as subject, but if a Uni. has good facility for Music production, I would think, it will help. With London, of course, she can explore it outside of university too.

c. She is predicted an AAB, but realistically we think she will score A*AA based on her current performance.

I am researching for realistic eventuality, where she scores A*AA to AAB or even say, something goes wrong and she ends up with ABB.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Exeter is a strong university, particularly for law. If ranking and reputation is your concern, rest assured that few employers will frown upon seeing that university listed on her C.V.

You mention Manchester, does she have an offer there?

I am confused by some posts that seem to suggest that graduates from London universities get better pay, unfortunately there is no way to verify.

Realistically, she might pursue a career in Singing, we do not know that as yet since for past 3 years, she could not do much due to situation at home and we did not take risk of not focussing on studies ( first priority is to be financially secure). It maybe that as parent I am biased, or it maybe that she has the potential to succeed - with practice. Right now, that is not tested adequately.

I am also wondering if I should post a link and seek feedback from forum members. (privacy concern)

She did not apply to Manchester, but it is likely to be in clearing.
