[QUOTE="ojharrison, post: 229694, member: 43505"] It really depends on the firm but to the best of my knowledge, most firms will require you to move to London even if you are an international student. The reasoning is often because you will be studying with members of your cohort so there is an element of being integrated and knowing each other before you start your TC. Also, firm's may put on internal events and training sessions for future trainees that you would be required to attend. There is also an element of fairness involved I would imagine - as mentioned by others in the thread, moving to London is a huge cost full stop. If some international students were able to study online, the firm might feel obliged to offer that to all future trainees and there'd be no collaboration between the cohorts. It's a conversation to be had with the firm though as there's no harm in asking whether it's a possibility but I would imagine the answer would be "no" for the most part! [/QUOTE]
