Higher rank unis?

Ranks mean **** regardless of RG or not. If you are studying law then sure, maybe.

What do they even measure the ranks on? Like employability, city, quality of teaching/ resources??

Is there rlly a difference in Russell group ranks? For example, im deciding between Sheffield and Cardiff and I adore Cardiff, however Sheffield’s higher rank is swaying me. I heard somewhere that it doesn’t matter since they’re both Russell groups but, do their rank differences really matter?

So many rankings rate the Uk universities differently. If you want to work for the golden circle of law firms, then yes russell group would highly matter. However, this is not the end of the world. If you do a law masters degree after uni, it would put you above many other potential candidates, with most masters programmes allowing you to complete the bar qualifying exams as part of the course.

I would go for cardiff and then go to a russel group uni for your masters, as once you achieve a 2,1 or 1,1, many of these would be happy to have you for your year studying an llm after your llb.

Edit: Sorry I completely forgot Cardiff is a russel group university. The rankings of these do not matter unless you are attending one of the top places such as oxford. So you should be good regardless. I would still recomend the llm though 🙂.

I don’t do law, so therefore I should just follow what I want rather than be swayed by statistics?

Oh yes, sorry, I saw another users comment about how It could matter if it was law and used that within mine!

Yes definitely go for the one you would prefer as russell groups are highly regarded, regardless of which you attend. Rankings are relatively irrelevant for all universities but Russel groups do have that advantage for being globally renounced as good.

If you want Cardiff go for Cardiff!

Can I ask what they’re ranked on?
