Hi all. I am currently trying to decide between the Oxford BCL and Cambridge LLM.

Does it matter which one I pick when it comes to applications? I understand the BCL is more well-regarded for the Bar, but I don't believe postgraduate matter very much for commercial law firms (please correct me if I'm wrong). I do hope to become a commercial solicitor so would like to choose the one that would be more beneficial (however small) when it comes to applications.

I would also be grateful for any general tips or comments on which one I should pick. Thank you.

It won’t matter at all for law firms.
