a first class is getting 70%+ over your 3 years of uni (UK bachelors are 3yrs instead of 4 in America for all the USAcels) around 30% of uni students get a first, so it’s generally not that uncommon but a differentiator but depending on the university & subject it can either be a joke or incredibly impressive, (ie a first from Nottingham Trent v a first from Cambridge)

Yeah I didn't expect anything better from that retard. He's from University of Leicester

 

[Joeseminate]

It is the best type of degree you can get from any univerity it is like an A but less impressive easy to achieve with a bit of effort

 

[MaxorDie]

University of Leicester

I wanna laugh but my brother went there JFLLL, in general uni prestige is 100x more important than whatever u got on ur degree

unless uk unis are of higher difficult than the norm i dont think its too impressive.

maybe there are exceptions for things like engineering where its more appropriate

Isn't all Russells group unis decent? Like ofc Oxford and Cambridge are another level but still.

It is genuinely considered plausible since I am in my first year as a freshers studying law however once I graduate I don’t want to practice law here since I wanna relocate to the states to do my masters there maybe Penn State (expensive) or University of Tennessee. I need to think about the states that do let me have a career there so either NY, Cali (dead) or Texas. So Texas is probably my first option for my future

 

[Ibohammed Eshakt’ur]

It’s impressive, but like you said, it’s a first class grade from Leicester of all places

 

[MaxorDie]

Russell Groups are decent but the lower ranked ones all blur into eachother tbh it’s not crazy hard to get into a lot of the unis there,
in general its
Oxford, Cambridge >>>>>>>> UCL, LSE, Imperial >> Russel Groups >> Other Unis

Why penn State of all places?

Just seems the most trustworthy even from an immigrant that comes from the first world…
I mean take a look at this curry dude Shamak based on how they treat him there. I also like camping so I can find new friends and regularly go to the Appalachian mountains. The city is quite cozy too you have various corner shops, retail and other things

yeah law in the uk is so fucking dead there’s 30k grads a year competing for 5.5k jobs meaning 82% of people either don’t go into law or have to clerk as a paralegal (which is gonna get raped by ai) it’s sooo brutal if you don’t go to a Target School, america has 100x the opportunity

Is uni prestige a big thing? Like do employer actively screen for it in the UK.

Useless if it’s not from a well known university like Oxford And such, also connections will benefit you the most and you can land a job easily that way

Being a barrister is so high class you even get to wear a wig in the UK

Anyone who stays on this shithole island is so low iq to practice law or other related professions. Not only the salaries, but a solicitor earns just that much you mentioned or even less than 30k it also takes a total of 6 years after graduation with all the work experience and the SQE bs. However since I am 20, once I graduate at 23 I wanna start my masters then graduate in the states at 24 then sit the bar exam right away and I can even practice law at 25. But in the UK you don’t get to by the time you’re 30.

yeah lmao it’s a very big thing, especially at the start of your career. after ur first few jobs it dosent matter but the tragectory of your career depends on ur first job which depends on ur uni. Employers actively screen for Oxford & Cambridge grads and then usually UCL, LSE, Imperial (for stem), Warwick (for eng) & Durham (for law)

I don't know anything about law but don't you have to be American citizen to sit for the bar?

 

[Nectar]

No not necessarily, however there are states where you can sit it as a non-citizen whereas for some you would normally have to do 3 years of the JD programme but for others you can just do a 1 year LLB since my 3 year LLM can be equivalent to the juries doctor.
States where I can take the bar right away:

- New York
- California
- Washington D.C
- Texas
- Illinois

Other states are either very difficult or wouldn’t let me take the bar without a JD

 

[Former Shortcel]

Its the best degree classification you can get, but id say how impressive it is depends on what course you are doing and what uni you attend

Not that impressive. No one cares. The people who do that got unimpressive degrees and lack any other credibility so they cling onto the one thing they have, a first.

you’ll be struggling to get a job in co op stacking shelves

I love your elitist oxfordcel mindset

 

[imontheloose]

It’s true. People who get firsts here don’t go around boasting about it. Boasting about something you should be taken as a given to attain in most degrees is pathetic. Much more when it’s a mediocre accreditation.

 

[CloudyCuck]

Leicester Uni is ranked 192 in the world and I think it’s Russell Group too, it’s not just a scrub uni

 

[luuk]

Please enlighten me UKcel. Some nigga I know is proudly advertising it on his profile

Depends on what uni and course
Some shit universities hand them out like candy, others make you work for it
Its the highest classification you can get but some degree mills give them to like 2/3 of the cohort
