Hi all, I received offers from SOAS in International Economic Law, Queen Mary in Int. Business Law, Durham and Strathclyde, but have not decide where to go. I need some advice```
I looked all the modual lists from these law schools. It seems like that Queen Mary has better teachers than SOAS, but I think SOAS is more special. As for Strathclyde, it has very good course setting though it is not in London. Could anyone give me advice on this? thanks!
plus, which one has better job prospects?

thanks, but after I looked the modual of Durham I hesitated because Durham's course setting is more domestic, and I want to choose a more internationally set.

oh, SOAS and QM, which one has better job prospects?

Choose the university that has selection of courses that you find most interesting. SOAS and Queen Mary are both great institutions to study law judging from what I have heard from past students, so you can't really make a wrong choice between those two.

I chose SOAS over Queen Mary because it seems more unique, and I'm not worried about future job prospects, in fact what I have seen during my work is that being more specialized is only a good thing nowadays, and in the end it is your qualities as a person that will matter the most.

Thx for your advice. Well, yes, qualities of a person matter the most. Studying in whichever institution, not only we learn academic things, but also many other qualities will be enhanced I think. Whatever, decision is decision.

Between QMUL and SOAS, I would go for the former especially in terms of employment prospects.

SOAS of course! no hesitation there!

Strathclyde is located in Glasgow, Scotland. Law education is distinct from England law schools, so I don't think there is a comparison between them.

SOAS is more famous than QM, but its reputation is based on it specific edge in Africa and Asia research. As for commercial law study, it is not a compatitor of QM, which has a 5* law school. There are only two 5* law school in universtiy of london. The other one is UCL.

I agree.

Generally SOAS has a better reputation and it is better known than Queen Mary. Of course you can still study Commercial Law at SOAS giving you a greater advantage if you want to have an overview of emerging markets and also Asia and Africa!

Def a bonus!

I disagree with Napoleon since although distinct Law Schools in England are much more than the ones up in Scotland, the latter has University law schools that are all amazing and all up to top15 rankings.

I am heading to Glasgow in a few days and I am very confident of my choice !

Durham, is that a good uni for the LLM of international Trade and commercial Law ? or maybe glasgow ?! (LLM in itnernational commercial law)

thanks for your advice !
