Is there a difference?
HiSat Dec 29, 2007 10:40 PM Would choosing to go to one of the london universities offer better career and academia prospects than say going to a regional university? Any replies would be greatly appreciated. |

YES!! If you want to go into academia, where you get your llm is crucial...Wed Jan 23, 2008 05:23 PM UCL offers a programme for law teachers which is an add -on for those who want to become academics. It is not part of the llm but you get a certificate. If you are serious about an academic career, get something published. It's never too early to start. |

If you are looking at academia in the UK you do not have to restrict yourself to the London universities, though I would suggest that getting an academic job in the UK these days on just an LLM would be tough. More and more, new academics have a PhD (as well as teaching experience gained whilst studying); some ex-practitioners may make it in to academia too. Most universities offer teaching courses to their post graduate students, though I suspect they are targetted at PhD (or MPhil) students. Good luck with it, whether you go for practice or academia.
