Durham vs. Queen Mary

In our latest Career Conundrum, an aspiring BigLaw solicitor from overseas has got offers from two top law schools but can’t decide which will give them the best prospects to meet their goals. In short, Durham or Queen Mary, University of London?

“I am an international student from India waiting to join uni this September. However I’m confused between two law schools — Durham and Queen Mary University of London. I’ve heard both are excellent schools. I have done all the research, talked to senior students, and I’m still unable to decide. It would be a great help if you could tell me which one offers a better graduate employability prospect, which one is more known to big law firms and overall which law school I should choose being an international student myself, which is more suitable.”
