Hey!I did an LLM at UCL - happy to answer any questions you might have (just shoot me a PM!).I split my UCL statement into three points:1) why I'd chosen UCL (location + what it represents as an academic institution)2) why I'd chosen an LLM / my specific area (I'd written my dissertation on the area in undergrad and loved it so decided to continue at post-grad. Plus I absolutely love legal research)3) how I thought it would impact my career going forward.Looking back, it was really just an 'okay' statement but I think, as has been said, its not as competitive as undergrad just because its not really necessary in the legal profession. (even though acceptance should definitely not be taken for granted!)If you want any help on modules or professors I can offer my own experiences as examples, but I finished end of 2018 and graduated last summer so may be a bit dated.
