Which Uni?

I've been given offers to study law at Royal Holloway, Kent, Essex and Bangor, which one is more worthwhile, which should I pick for my second choice (just in case I have an offer from Durham)! - not really sure on which is more respected so that I can get jobs after!

I have not visited all of them, but I don't mind the campus, I just want to make sure that it is actually a respected uni, and that they are high ranking, i'm not sure which one out of these are best!

Hi, I currently study Law and visited loads of law firms and trust me, the emphasis is on your character, grades, and experience not what uni you go to. Go with a uni you like the vibe of, id suggest royal holloway or kent simply because I have friends there and they speak highly of it.

Hi there

I am a third year law student at Kent. Studying law at Kent is really interesting.

During my first year at Kent, I was really supported with my studies. The degree is structured in a way that eases you in the the course. I was supported by an academic tutor, a student mentor and access to the skills hub's resources. The seminar leaders and lecturers are also really approachable.

In terms of employability, Kent offers employability schemes which gives you opportunities to gain work experience, insight days etc.

When deciding which University to choose, I think you can look at what modules they offer. Different Universities will offer different modules, and it is important to choose a University which allows you to take the modules you want.
I hope this helps.

If you have any questions on studying law at Kent, I will be happy to answer them.
