If i do undergrad in UK, then can i still do my masters in LAW in N.America

[asian]

I might study law or business in the UK, but i wanna do my masters in law in a very good uni in canada or the US.

is this possible, or should i just do my undergrad in canada?

[yahzuk]

yeah thats perfectly possible,

uni in the uk allows you to specialise so if you know exactly what u wanna do its perfect

you graduate with your bachelors (in some cases law is different tho) and then you can go back to north america and get a masters just as easily.

you may even stand out against other candidates with your international background.

perhaps contact some unis in both countries to see what they say.

good luck

btw don't limit yourself, the world is your oyster!

cool thanks man, also, i hav just one more question.

Do i have to make a seperate P.Statement for all unis.

these are my programs that i applied to:

- Kings, management

- LSE, management

- City uni of london, Law (LLB), and also Business studies, (these are 2 seperate programs)

- Warwick, law and business studies (1 program)

Since there 3 seperate programs, business studies, management and bus+law, do i have to make 3 seperate PS's???

thanks

No, you will only do one Personal Statement. I have to say that this might prove slightly problematic for you as you will need to include enough material on Business studies, Management and Law although the first two will be easier to combine.

What do you mean by law? If you mean law as in to become a lawyer, you might have a small problem with U.S. schools.

Law Schools in the United States will accept your undergraduate degree. (as long as it's a bachelors degree/4 year degree or more)

Law School here is 3 years long ( I've heard it sometimes is 4 years long for some special areas of law, I'm not sure about that though), and to get in, you have to take the LSAT, and as stated before, have a bachelors degree.

If you want to specialize in some area of Business which includes business law, you really shouldn't have to worry about this.

The problem only comes in if you want to be a lawyer lol.

ok thanks, so basically:

if i wanna study a masters in either business or law at N.America, then i have to get a bachelors degree in NA.

but can i study undergrad business/management in the UK, and then get my masters in either MBA or Law in NA?

if this is the case, then its best if i change my courses so that they are all related to business or management. right?

thanks

Talk to the Guidance Counselor at your school. She/He should give you more information on international schooling.

Also, you could probably study some forms of international law at a U.S. university. Just call the school and ask if their degree is transferable among countries, or if it only allows you to practice in the U.S. <--Kind of odd, I know.

About getting your MBA/Masters in North America, that really shouldn't be a problem. May people transfer to different schools for their graduate degrees, such as many of my teachers. As said before, look up information on the school and see how they handle international applicants. There really shouldn't be a problem at all, but you never know. To get into Graduate School (Masters, Ph.D, Law School, Medical School) in the U.S, you have to take a special entrance test; GRE, LSAT, MCAT to be able to apply to the school. You don't have to have any kind of special knowledge to take these tests. (At least for the LSAT, which I have seen examples of) For example, on the LSAT, you have to solve diabolical logic word problems, math problems, and I think some type of Reading portion.

What's stopping you from studying Law at a university in the UK? You have many famous, prestigious excellent schools over there.
