Advice on Law Offers

Hey everyone managed to get a few law offers as an international - Durham Kcl, will probably get Warwick
Out of these I understand Kcl is the most prestigious for law so I wanted to ask if a kcl law degree would be worth it as an international student assuming I can pay the fees with not too much discomfort.

Will appreciate any responses, thanks!!

Hey!

Durham has been shown time and time again as ranking much higher then KCL in regards to recieving TCs.

It's only beaten by Oxbridge, so I believe Durham is your best option if you're wanting to become a Solictor.

Regarding a Barrister, I'm unsure.

While Durham is an amazing law school, I completely disagree with the person above: the location of KCL is unparalleled, especially if you want to be a barrister, and they have hugely successful employability rates. Furthermore they have a much better international reputation so iT gives you much better long term options.

If money isn’t an issue, KCL is definitely the way to go, especially if you’re international
