Very organised. Good Luck.

This is such an important video. Thankyou, Eloise!

This excited me about my future mini-pupillage, thank you very much for your videos.

You are so clever and organised. I am writing my dissertation now and your videos gives me so much knowledge and confidence. Thank you so much!!!!

Very similar to my experience too many years ago to mention now. I was lucky enough to get funding, but that is less common now and the fees have gone up considerably. All my essays were due altogether in the Trinity term. It was exhausting.

I am confused what should i do bar, llm or sqe. Is there any job opportunities in law firms for llm graduates or unregistered barrister in uk. Kindly guide me . I am a foreigner studied llb from one of teaching centres of university of london in Pakistan . I really want your guidance please

talking too fast for me

Interesting (rather great) reflection. Wonder, how popular dissertation option course is for BCL students (and any drawbacks or advantages either based on your experience or from observing your peers/their shared experiences), as dissertation is often perceived as an opportunity where students can pursue what interests them (within the framework of the law courses they are taught in BCL), where in the dissertation course option, students can research on a critical thinking/novelty/some original research basis instead mass meta black letter substance regurgitated in both regular tutorial essays and end of year exams for the course options taken. Not sure if dissertation would be popular/advisable for those intending to pursue the Bar though, as there I guess knowing substance and Oxford style black letter law contents may matter more than legal research/legal academia debates.

Thank you so much for this! Your video was really insightful :)

Your law notes link has expired?

Any tips on structure to practise notes ???

you will fail

Did you not have to do a literature review?

Well done

Well done. You are very organised, smart, and put in the work, so you deserved the outstanding score. Thank you for sharing your experience.

Thanks

Thanks beautiful

I particularly find young people who have the intelligence, discipline, and drive to nut out an effective process and develop legal writing skills on their own just so impressive to me personally. Bravo.

Hey sorry yy i cant find ur coursework!! i am doing eco critism too (For oryx and the crake) . please may i read yous? kind regards

Thanks for the video, I am struggling on my dissertation and don't know how to start, this helps me a lot.

How you finished with a 1st is unreal. I just did my 1st year resit for one module 😭 I know my poor mental health and bad experiences at the time made me unable to perform my best- but I still felt ashamed failing one module (by 3%🥲). Either way, I’m going into my second year and I’m getting myself together by watching videos like this! Thanks you utter genius ❤️

Thank you so so much❤

I am glad I found this video. It's so informative and inspiring. Thank you so much.

Hiii Have you used any software for making the citation, and did you used bluebook method of citation.

I’m jealous but I need to learn from you haha

Thanks for this ❤

Thank you for sharing your experience Eloise. It was a lovely video. Did you got your one year pupillage afterwards? Can you make a video on that please.

Hey Eloise! Super helpful video! As I am starting my dissertation at the moment. Might sound like a ridiculous question, but what is the programme that you have used to make you reading list and your plan? Thank you so much :)

This has helped me more than you will ever know! THANK YOU <3333333333

Great vid mate! I've typed far too many words for my Dissertation, im sitting at 13k...

I really appreciate the insight! Going to involve some of your strategies into my writing process. How many hours would you say you spend reading vs writing?

I’ve started like 1/3 of my thesis and found this. Oh you’re so organized! This would be like the ideal way to process my thesis if I know this from the beginning. But it would be a bit scary to just read and take note and plan in the first several months and leave the writing until the last period. since the scale is like 5 times of dissertation. Or maybe it could work? 🤔

you're so beautiful ❤

i like you so much, good luck for your career and life 🎉

Hi Eloise, I am aspiring to do the BCL course at Oxford and was hoping there would be a way for me to contact you for some advice on my application. I'm hoping you could provide me with an email or your LinkedIn. Thank you.

This was useful, thank you so much!

great video ❤, and congrats 🎉

Love this, thnak you so much. I have completed my first year of my Msc in Dental Hygiene, Now started the second year. As older student, I almost forgotten how to plan essays wtc, with working a full time job as well. Finding you has been perfect. Thank you. I hope you are proud of yourself. 90 is truley amazing. :)))

I really enjoy your videos and thank you for making them. If I can offer a very general opinion in regards to working (here, studying) environment. Often a lot of weird or uncomfortable situations are normalised in a group of people by accepting them whenever they are brought up, usually by one of the group. I said weird and uncomfortable because this is what accumulates in one's life as they get older and spent more and more time among people who have their own separate lives as well as the communal life in the office. I am not trying to be patronising. I am sure you will do excellent in whatever you choose to do, or end up doing. You have the drive for it. I'm just saying this in case you notice it because you will notice it. You don't seem to be the person who will go through life completely oblivious.

I have no clue how anyone even thinks of a question or knows what to write. Feel so useless.

I completely agree with most of this - great summary of the course! The only area where I might have had a bit of a different experience is I actually found there was quite a *lot* of weight put on 'novelty' or on making some kind of original or novel/'outside-the-box' contribution in your essays. And unfortunately, I found that this was often rewarded at the expense of thoroughness. So for example, my experience was a student who wrote an essay that presented a novel view, although not particularly well researched or supported, might be awarded a first grade, whereas I student who makes a slightly less novel argument, but nonetheless very well researched and supported, might get a 2:1. I found this kind of system frustrating, because in my view there is little utility in novelty for the sake of novelty. I think it reflects that the Oxbridge system places a great weight on 'argument' or the clash of ideas -- it likes to distinguish itself as a more 'academic' institution on this basis. But, in my view, a focus on 'novelty' is better reserved for research-based degrees like the MPhil/DPhil where students actually have time to properly research and articulate those kinds of arguments.

Great video, so informative :) please could you do videos on how to write essays , answer problem questions etc thks

Why isn't it possible to achieve 100% grade with university work? Even if everything is perfect, how can you possibly improve. It's a broken grading system.

Fantastic video

Law isn't my field, but a 60-minute video talking through the experience of this programme for all those interested in applying is so invaluable. It's also just really valuable for anyone who is interested in other Oxbridge courses and is apprehensive and unclear about what it's like. I really respect this!

Another interesting video. I am loving the regular content!

You’ve put succinctly the drawbacks of the BCL. I’m of the view that had I gone to Oxford for undergrad I would have come out a much poorer lawyer. My undergrad taught me everything I know about teamwork in a professional setting, digesting other’s original ideas and putting mine across as well. Those skills are terribly undervalued in the profession.

Great video and agree with lots of the points you raised! Good luck with everything going forward :)

Thank you for uploading this and congratulations on your amazing grade! All the best for your future <3

Can someone with a 2.1 from an ex poly uni, but with high grades on the bar course (VC) at City, get into the BCL? Or you’d say it’s useless to apply because of my 2.1 and ex uni name
