Hi,

I have unconditional offers from Queen Mary, Manchester, Leeds and Warwick for LLM Financial Law. Not sure which one to chose. Please help. Thanks

Regards

hi

all the unis look pretty even to me. you might want to take into account where they all are. Queen Mary is obviously in london but Warwick is in the middle of no where. more like a village. you make also want to look at the modules that they offer in financial law to make your decision

good luck

I would vote for Warwick or Queen Mary. However, a friend of mine who lived in Coventry (where Warwick is based in), said once that the city isn't much fun... maybe London would be a better (and more expensive) choice.

Many thanks bigdave and beicon for your valuable inputs...

Guys sorry to break the bubble of all those vouching for how good Manchester Uni is (also known as Uniof ) but it is nothing as all of you seem to know of it above .
I got a chev scholarship and made the mistake of choosing Manchester Uni over the london ones being expensive and also because i had some relatives there and due to the costs of living which till date i regret . It is indeed embarrasing but i have to admit that i am appalled at the way LLM is conducted in this uni and for me it broke all my expectations at what education in the UK would be like . I have a million reasons not to recommend University of Manchester for LLM ( and only a few to do ) . Althought the rankings of the university have gone down in the past few years ( the rankings only represent the undergrad law school ranking btw) it is far better than what it should actually be . Most of the professors are either retired barristers out of touch with the current happenings in the legal sphere or Phd students who are usually doing it to get grants and are usually not much older (knowledgeable) than you are being stumped at usual interventions . Most of the studies are expected to take place before or after coming to class and the only thing done by professors is enlighten on topics given out of pre printed module sheets . The exams again are not fair as each question carries 33 marks and you are expected to understand and attempt all your semesters learnings at the risky attempt of 3 out of 4 questions which in my view can never justify a students ability . There have been instances where 98% students in a particular class have failed . Classes are usually 2-3 hours a day a maximum of 3 times a week leaving a lot of time for you to wonder . The Class would mostly be filled by South Asian (read India Pak SL Bangladesh) or South East Asian (Chinese Malaysian Korean ) students and a below 10% of east european students and only maybe 2%-3% of British students missing the whole point of getting an international experience as most of the British students take up LPC or training contracts after their LLB's . Finding Jobs are a big no no with a Manchester Uni LLM . Anyways looks like I can go on forever here so if you have any further questions please email me or message me here and i shall be very glad to help you out . Cheers.

The constant repetition of this message in every thread that includes Manchester is now beyond boring, it's actually quite irritating. By constantly repeating the message you're making yourself out to be bitter for some reason, and every time you post it we all respect the points you make a little less.

Queen Mary has a very good LLM program, but you must firstly look at subjects you want to study, the area of law. As for me it is very interesting to leave in London, to visit different places of interest, maybe it is not so interesting in Manchester.

I also had an offer from Manchester and I choosed Queen Mary.
