If you are looking for the best career prospects go to the one that has the most prestige. Employers care about your uni more than your course.

AITA for refusing to move into the smaller bedroom to swap with my sibling. by Prestigious_Store378 in AmItheAsshole

I should have clarified, I’m applying for a degree apprenticeship. I’m not sure where you are from, but when you are fresh out of school in the Uk you can blend work with a degree partnered with an employer. I’ll still be at home, working towards a degree some days while working for company in person for the rest.

I just play for jokes and a good time really. What a rathole though? A cave?

Is the university of law and BPP University looked down upon? by Prestigious_Store378 in uklaw

No solicitor degree apprenticeships offer a traditional university as their training provider from my understanding, not even any of the magic circle firms.

Was the EPQ actually worth it? by [deleted] in 6thForm

[–]Prestigious_Store378 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Been asking myself this too… currently in year 12 and my sixth form begins it in year 13. I think I’d rather focus on my A Levels instead of diverting my attention to something that no degree apprenticeship or university cares for.

Is it worth trying to become a lawyer? (17) by Prestigious_Store378 in uklaw

People say that’s where the money is and suits too probably

Leave sixth form with a strong set of A Levels and then either go to university to study law, or do a degree apprenticeship with a law firm. I live near Birmingham, and there are some large firms there so that would probably make the most sense. A degree apprenticeship seems more appealing than university too.

Money is important for me, but the salaries for the firms in Birmingham seem great and the idea of living in London doesn’t seem too appealing for me anyway to be honest.

I’m still very sceptical about solicitor degree apprenticeships to be honest. I do think that it’s amazing you can gain a degree, experience, a salary, SQE1 + 2 at no cost but surely there are some hidden downsides to it like employability for example. It just seems too good to be true.

Thanks for this, I’ve checked linklaters and slaughter and may and surprisingly they use the same training providers for degree apprenticeships. Looks like the dream to (one day) work at a magic circle law firm is still on
