It is definitely a good decision to not pursue a law degree in Europe if you want to work in the UK straight after graduation in the legal industry. However, my main issue with doing the online degree at ULaw is not even that it is that you miss out on key opportunities to build out your profile by not attending university in person. Huge amounts of people getting TCs have university society experiences which are very valuable and can directly network with firms in person through university events. I would also like to add that although university name is not everything, it really does hold some weight in applications. The undergraduate courses at ULaw do not really compare to a lot of other universities and may be a bit detrimental if applying for TCs. I do think the best course of action in your situation is to attempt to work in a job that has transferrable skills (which is pretty much any job but I'd recommend a job in a professional setting) and save money so that studying in-person in the UK is viable. You can also apply for scholarships, I know some international students doing this. I am just concerned that you will still be paying large fees for an online course from ULaw which really will not greatly help in you getting a training contract. If you want to hear from recruiters, trainees, or newly qualified solicitors I would say this forum is not the best place to do it. It would be much more effective to cold message these individuals on LinkedIn.That said, I hope you figure things out and best of luck!</blockquote>
