Hi everyone,

I am in the process of applying for a masters conversion course in person and was wondering which university BPP or Uni of law is more sought after by the likes of magic circle, commercial/finance law firms?
Id appreciate if anyone who is currently at one of these universities or who is a recruiter/practicing lawyer in this area of law, could give me their opinion on this.


I have a very unique academic background having completed a degree apprenticeship this year with a high 2:1 and consider myself very academic having never dropped below an A in secondary/sixth form and naturally find myself wanting to perform at the highest levels in whatever I do.

Thank you :)

Firms won’t care if it is with BPP or ULaw. They have no preference and only go with a specific university for their sponsored trainees from a cost perspective (they get preferential rates).
