LLB senior status or MA in Law??

Hello! I hope everyone is doing well. I am an international student and I got accepted into multiple law programs in the UK. For some context, I have a 2:1 degree from an American institution, and I am attracted to 2-year programs to save time and money. I am trying to decide between the LLB senior status program and the MA in Law. Both are from QUB, and both are qualifying law degrees. I would love to hear what people here think. I appreciate all the advice. Thanks in advance.

For more clarification, my career goal is to practice as a solicitor in NI or England.

Why not a PGDL?

I haven't thought about it to be honest. What advantages would taking it over a MA/LLB senior status be? Would it allow me to become a qualified solicitor with no issues? Thanks for the answer btw

A PGDL only takes a year. To become a solicitor you must pass the SQE and complete the necessary work experience.
