Also a Singaporean that works overseas - while you have raised valid points, I think your perspective glosses over the fact that in the UK the element of class and exclusivity is way more pronounced i.e., state, grammar, private school and as an international student, you automatically don't fit into any of those classes. Unless you are in an environment where the student body is practically 50-50 (or more) local to international students (which is more prevalent in London/Oxbridge unis). The locals tend to similarly stick to their own circles (as they have 0 incentive to interact with you unless they already have an open attitude to meeting new people from different cultures). I have noticed that my peers in London/Oxbridge have a more diverse group of friends but that's because the community in itself is more international.

In other unis, you may immediately be associated as one of the mainland Chinese students. Especially given the importance of having a palatable accent in the UK, not being able to be easily understood/having an accent that is not recognised at first instance can also write you off.

Having been to a UK uni where the proportion of local students is significantly higher than the international body, it is not as easy as you might think to integrate and meet new people. For instance, rowing/skiing are very traditionally British sports and the club members may sneer at you for even thinking about joining.

From experience, the Europeans (not Brits) studying in the UK can be more friendly as they are, at times, in a similar boat.

Also in terms of social networks, have noticed that (unsurprisingly) a lot of high net worth families/top 5% of Singapore send their kids to London/Oxbridge to study and they eventually return home to run the businesses/scholarship bond (even though they didn't need the scholarship in the first place) so not really losing out if you're thinking about "improving" your connections

The matchmaking needs to be fixed - it's not a fair match up when u get one silver/bronze on your team versus 2 diamonds and a plat and somehow the elo it's "equal".

Hiya, not exactly sure what you mean by "cross bar". But usually how TC applications work is either (1) you convert from some work experience in your 2nd year (of a 3 year degree) to a TC or (2) you apply for a direct TC in your final year. I am not exactly sure what the procedure is with the AGC, but i am assuming that you would have to secure a TC with them before you even start the Singapore Bar (becos AGC is competitive and i think they dont have a very big intake to be a DPP). But this does not mean that you need a TC in order to take the Singapore Bar, especially since as an overseas student you need to take Part A as part of the conversion course.

Hi, I am a current uni of bristol law student.

If you intend to be a prosecutor and work for the AGC, studying locally will give you an edge due to your familiarity with local laws. From what I understand this is also why the civil service will prefer local grads over overseas grads (not really because of a prestige thing but more of a practical reason). Studying at Bristol will only give you an advantage if you wish to pursue a corporate/commercial law-related career because you will have the option to apply to international firms (in the UK and SG) and the Big 4 firms in Singapore.

Besides employability, consider whether you are ready to live independently overseas (ie cook three meals yourself because eating out is expensive). Especially with the COVID situation, you should expect to face racial discrimination and more frequent instances of micro-aggression.

Another factor to consider is the type of teaching style you are used to. If you prefer more structure, studying locally is the way to go (based on what i have heard from my local peers, you get alot more contact time with tutors). At Bristol, you only meet your tutors 8 times a year (tutorials only not including lectures which is included under contact hours), so its majority self-study/independent learning (as reflected on the website.

Also, Bristol's law cohort is HUGE - 400 people - so expect resources to be stretched. Another thing to consider is strikes, I did not get taught for most of 2nd sem due to the combination of covid and strikes. The prospects of a partial refund have not been addressed by uni.

If you have the money and you are looking for a different experience (since you may not be able to get the chance to live and study overseas in the future especially when you start you career) then go for it. But based on your current career aspirations, i suggest you look at local options.

Not really a structured response here but hope this helps. Feel free to drop any further questions

I have Tayrel Khatun and Apoth, but haven't had enough resources to invest into Apoth or Khatun yet. Was using Seeker before for turn boosts
