    Hi, @Jessica Booker. I have recently completed my LLM SQE. For the LLM part, I've taken all the exams but won't get my results until December. In what part of my application, if at all, should I include the LLM portion and the modules I did? Would it be in the postgraduate section?

    If you’re still in education and you’re on a student visa and the term dates clash with any winter vac schemes you can’t apply due to working restrictions. If not, go for it! (In my experience most of them do coincide)
