scarlettjazz Posted September 28, 2011 Report Share Posted September 28, 2011 Hi, I'm applying to study undergrad law next year, and I've very confused as to which degree courses I should apply to. It seems to me that most unis offer BA and LLB, and they are both qualifying degrees -- so what is the difference? Also, I think LLM is a masters of law, so a postgrad degree, but why would you take that if you already have a BA or LLB which is a qualifying course. What is the JD?Thanks!

Bartosz jez Posted September 28, 2011 Report Share Posted September 28, 2011 Still, I prefer real answers, not just links to sites or, which makes me extremely mad, to google Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaby Posted September 28, 2011 Report Share Posted September 28, 2011 LLB and BA are British undergraduate law degrees (there is some difference between them that I'm unable to discover, I think LLB is more prestigious, or something, not quite sure, you should ask Arrowhead or just browse The Student Room ), LLM is, obviously, a master's degree, and you would take it... I don't know... to broaden your horizons? and JD is Juris Doctor, and it's an American qualification. But Law is a postgraduate degree in States, don't forget about it.
