Durham vs. Queen Mary: A BigLaw Aspirant’s Dilemma
A prospective BigLaw solicitor from abroad faces a tough decision between two prestigious law schools. The question remains: Should they choose Durham or Queen Mary, University of London for better career prospects?
“I am an international student from India, set to start university this coming September. I find myself torn between Durham and Queen Mary University of London for my law studies. Both institutions come highly recommended. Despite extensive research and discussions with alumni, I’m still uncertain. I would appreciate guidance on which university has superior graduate employability rates, is better recognized by major law firms, and is generally more suited for an international student like myself.”
