Hi!
There has been much discussion about the BCL, but my question is about the Mjur degree. How well regarded it is(in general and compared to the BCL)? Does it carry a lot of weight in the city law firms? Any info/opinions about the Mjur is appreciated.

Hi Rodney,

The BCL and MJur are one and the same.
If you have done your first law degree in a common law syste, then u r awarded a BCL if you have done it from a non common la background U r awarded M Jur.
Thy are of equal prestige !
cheers

They're not quite the same actually. There are essentially four groups of subjects at Oxford, let's call them A, B, C and D.

List A subjects are advanced common law subjects - these are only open to BCL students.

List B subjects are general advanced subjects - these are only open to BCL and MJur students.

List C subjects are certain selected introductory subjects - these are undergraduate subjects also available to MJur students.

List D (not a real list) are the remaining undergraduate subjects - these are only open to undergraduate students.

Of course, as an Oxford student, you can attend classes for any subject in the University (as a general rule).

Don't know about the prestige of the MJur as distinct from the BCL.
