Just started my LLM in London (international Indian student).
I haven’t applied for any Training Contracts or vacation schemes for this upcoming cycle yet, partly because I’m still settling in, and partly because my original plan was just to take the Graduate Visa route, paralegal for a bit, and hopefully convert that into sponsorship down the line. Looking into it more with the new £38.7k salary threshold and how firms hire, is this plan completely delusional?Do firms ever actually sponsor international paralegals once the Graduate Visa runs out, or do they just replace you with a fresh grad? Trying to figure out if missing this autumn’s cycle means I’m basically setting myself up to be sent home in two years.

Hi I am currently giving my alevels and would like to pursue law however my uni options are limited between either a off campus university of London degree(online) or go to a mid tier university in uk . The issue with the uk universities is they aren’t cheap especially an international student. It costs about 15-20k pounds per semester for 4 years it’s more than 100k pounds add in rent and books and other expenses it’s about 200k or more. Would it be better to get a online degree from university of London which will be 2k pounds a semester and no other expenses as I will be living with my family or would it be better to get a student loan for 200k pounds to go to uk

In UCAS it says the most common grades is AAA but the standard offer is A*AA, so I just wanted to know if it was because of leniency or contextual offers or something.
