Law remains a very prestigious subject that is much sought after as a university discipline.
For many law graduates, the degree they hold is good currency for a job in many sectors, including banking and finance, management, accountancy, tax-consultancy and the media, amongst others. Latest figures in the United Kingdom show that a good proportion of law graduates go on to successful careers in fields other than as practising solicitors or barristers. It is certain that international law graduates find similar successes when they return to their home countries. Of course, many international and UK students commence a law course with the intention of eventually having a career in the legal sphere. The LLM is the first award that usually comes to mind for an LLB holder intending to further their study in the field of academic law.
