[QUOTE="rutabaga, post: 215129, member: 30898"] I have a law degree from the UK and was able to secure a paralegal role at a high street firm whilst on my graduate visa. My visa, however, is due to expire in a few months and my current firm cannot sponsor me nor have I been able to find another role. So I am trying to weigh my options here, one of which is to self fund the SQE as a form of 'upskilling' and being more desirable to employers. Any advice? Also, to those international students that have done or are in the process of taking the full-time SQE courses within the UK. How long was your student visa granted for and what is the duration of your course? And to those international students that have completed it. Did you find it made it easier for you to land a legal role as an international? Thanks :) [/QUOTE]
