Manchester vs Nottingham
Hi, i'm an international student, about to pursue Postgraduate Diploma in Law from September 2025.
I have received an offer from The University of Law (Manchester) and Nottingham Trent University.
I'm really torn on what to choose.
Can anyone offer any advice on the same?

I suggest that you study at NTU. I have not been impressed by what I have seen of the quality of legal education provided by UoL. NTU is thought to be one of the better new universities.
Manchester is a more interesting city than Nottingham, but that should, I suggest, be a secondary consideration.

Both aren't great but I don't think it matters where you do your GDL, are you sponsored?

Congratulations on receiving offers from both The University of Law (Manchester) and Nottingham Trent University! It's an exciting step in your academic journey, and I can understand how it can feel overwhelming to choose between two great options.
If you’re considering The University of Law (Manchester), here are a few points to keep in mind. ULaw offers a central location with excellent transport links, including proximity to major law firms and Manchester Piccadilly Station. This is great for networking and gaining practical legal experience. The campus features modern facilities such as collaborative workshop rooms, a library, and a café with a social space, all creating a supportive and engaging learning environment. Additionally, ULaw has an award-winning pro bono service, providing valuable hands-on legal experience through initiatives like the Legal Advice Centre, the National Centre for Domestic Violence, and the Streetlaw Programme. With a strong emphasis on employability, ULaw also offers mock interviews, career advice, and networking opportunities, which can significantly enhance your career prospects.
Manchester itself is a dynamic and diverse city, offering a rich cultural scene, including music, theatre, and nightlife, while also being home to a thriving legal and business sector.
Nottingham Trent University is also well-regarded, especially for its focus on student support and its strong professional connections, so it's worth considering factors like campus culture, location, and specific program strengths when making your decision.
Ultimately, both universities offer valuable opportunities, so think about which environment feels like the best fit for your academic and professional goals. If you’re drawn to a dynamic city with strong legal ties, pro bono opportunities, and extensive career support, ULaw Manchester might be the right choice for you. All the best with your decision and your studies ahead!

University of Birmingham does a graduate law course for 2 years but offers you a better chance at making it in the UK. It's a respected RG uni that is heavily targeted by law firms, you would need a 2.1 but as an international student i think even a low 2.1 should be ok given the fees.
Alternatively, there is York or Leeds university(The current pm is an alumnus) that offer the same graduate entry law course.
