Is it better to go abroad immediately after my undergraduate law degree or should I work for a year in corporate culture before applying for a Master's?
It depends on your career goals and personal situation.
If you have a clear legal career path and strong academics, going abroad for your LL.M. (Master’s in Law) right after your undergraduate degree can help you maintain academic momentum and quickly build credentials.
However, working for a year in a corporate or legal setting can:
- Strengthen your resume with practical experience
- Clarify your career objectives and interests
- Improve your application for competitive programs
- Help with finances by allowing you to save for further studies
Some LL.M. programs may even prefer applicants with work experience. Consider your long-term goals, financial readiness, and whether you’d benefit from more professional exposure before deciding.
