Is Northeastern University London good for LLB?
I'm considering studying Law (LLB) at Northeastern University London. Has anyone studied there? What did you think of the teaching, student life, and job prospects? Any advice or experiences would be great!

Current NU London LLB student here. Honestly, there's a ton of better ways to spend 3 years and 30k (or 60k for overseas students). Only 10-15 students somehow end up in this LLB every year, after clearance. Some had no other choice, others like me were misled into thinking this was a legitimate programme with ties and opportunities to study at NUSL in Boston, which is a brand in the US. We were also promised Oxford-like 1:1 tutorials and co-ops (internships)... Nada. There are as few as 3 full-time and 2 part-time law faculty, and none has ever practised law. Half of them don't even have law degrees! Classes are boring and frankly pointless - we just skip them ask straight away for the "mock exams", i.e. a preview of the actual exam questions that we can work on for weeks before cutting/pasting them during the finals in December and April. A couple of students were very close with the Head of Law and even sent her screenshots of their exam scripts so she could give them 80-90%. Literally any other degree, anywhere in the UK, is better than this LLB.

That's a bit off topic, but I can't say that Business is any better than Law and has consistently scored even lower in the NSS. A couple years ago, Business students were complaining there had no access to Bloomberg terminals. The university bought one, only to find out that no Business lecturer knew how to use it. Check their NSS scores on Discover Uni. The university was also one of the very few institutions to get a "bronze" TEF rating, which is normally awarded to for-profit schools, and that is a huge red flag. Also keep in mind that Northeastern is not accredited by AMBA, AACBS, EQUIS and the likes, which is essential for b-school grads to find a job.
