[QUOTE="Jessica Booker, post: 140881, member: 2672"] You won't be able to have the visa and do the programme - it will need to be one or the other, unfortunately. So you will be giving up the right to work in the UK for the two years as you cannot apply for it later on either. The only other option is the High Potential Visa [URL='https://www.gov.uk/high-potential-individual-visa']High Potential Individual (HPI) visa: Overview - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)[/URL], but that is limited to a very small selection of the leading international universities, and so it would be dependent on where you did your LLB. It is really difficult to say what you should do, but ultimately if you did do the programme then VS are likely to be exceptionally difficult in the UK due to the vast majority of firms not sponsoring visas for them.
