[QUOTE="future_traineesolicitor, post: 176585, member: 9553"] Hi all, long time lurker here. I am a law grad and international student. I have applied to some LLM programmes in the UK. I have so far received offers for Queen Mary and Manchester. I am still waiting for some other universities I applied for. However, the deadline to accept my offer (and pay the tuition deposit) at Manchester is next week and I am not sure if I should accept it. My undergrad uni (RG) has a pretty good reputation for law. I am worried that by going to Manchester for my LLM the recruiter would see it as a step down. I know that a postgraduate degree isn't that important in TC applications but how much weight does it carry? Queen Mary actually gave me a much later deadline to accept offer but it's not as highly recognised internationally (rankings, reputation etc.) From my understanding, if I wish to pursue a career in law in the UK, Queen Mary is the obvious choice. But if I fail to secure a TC, Manchester would be better recognised in my home jurisdiction. I am wondering whether these two unis actually differ a lot from a graduate recruiter's stand point. I would really appreciate some advice. Thanks! [/QUOTE]
