Hi there,
I am doing my LLB from UCL (external degree) and waiting for my second year's result. I've heard that after u get your 2nd yr results, that is the right time to apply to universities. i need to know 2 things. Firstly; what is a better option after you're done with LLB... BAR or an LLM? What is the market like? what does it demand? LLM deg. holder or something else? And, if i do LPC, would it only help me if i decide to work in europe ? Because people tell me that , do your lpc, only if u want to live in europe.. but not if u want to come back to your country . (back to asia i;e)

Secondly, what are my chances if i decide to change my track and go to USA after completing my LLB? Will i need to do JD, some bar exam or can i just straight away do my LLM? IS doinf LLM from usa after 3 extensive years of studying british law a good idea? Would it help me in my career? Or should i stick to UK , weigh my options and see whether i want to do LLM or become a barrister?

I guess i seem pretty confused right now.. i would really like and appreciate some sincere advice and tips !
Waiting for a reply.... !

Your question is pretty difficult. However, I think the only one who can answer most correctly is "yourself".

What is your career goal? Where do you want to spend the rest of your life at?

Studying and working in foreign country, exactly, make you more worldwide and more outstanding.


I think the first thing you should do now is planning your life in future. :-)
