You and I both
Thank you so much. I'm Zimbabwean and about to start my LLB at Wits. Your journey is so inspiring. May God continue to bless you🤍
Hi congrats and welcome to Wits. I am a Masters student at Wits and completed my LLB in 2022. Wishing you all the best on your journey.
Great meeting a Zimbabwean who studied law in SA. I graduated 2004. And I am a local government legal adviser. Just subcribed to your channel girl
Hey fellow learned friend!! Thank you for subscribing 🤗
You've had such an amazing journey. Well done! I hope many come across this video and watch it for insights and inspiration.
Thank you so much!
I truly love and enjoy your content, your wisdom and the way you are so articulated, I don't know why I am only getting to know you now, I am listening to your podcasts now, all the best on this journey and your future endeavors❤
Oh thank you so much. This is encouraging
Well done. I am a lawyer moving to London soon. Your channel has been helpful.. Great work
Wow Nobue! Your story is so encouraging. Thank you for sharing with us. I am inspired and I also see the LORD working all through your journey.
I discovered your channel last week through “the cost of living in London”, video. I then later learnt you’re adventist through another video of your music playlists, and I was even happier.
I’m so happy to be a part of your audience, to grow with you and learn from you.
Aww you are too kind, It's always heartwarming to hear that some one appreciates the work. Thank you so much! Welcome to the family (I hope you are subscribed!!)
Thank you. I have surely subscribed! 💛💛
Hey Nobue just want to say your channel is one of my top 10 channels to watch.. you doing a great job
🥺🥺 thank you so much! The encouragement means a lot!!❤️
Wow!!! You are so intentional about all that you do, even how you tell stories is so detailed. Big up to you. I have no doubt that you will do well in this youtube space. TH-cam black here is Nobue💃💃💃
Aww thank you so much!!🥺🥺
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 thank you for this counsel …. Planning to relocate in the Scotland any time this year
All the best!! Hope it works out!
So glad I came across this! Currently doing my 2nd year and just found out the same thing
All the best with your journey 💓
So helpful. Thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
You’re an inspiration ❤️❤️
Thank you 😊
Congratulations. You’re so resilient and so driven. I really wanted to move to the UK but I’m a South African citizen 🥴.
Try the second route!
Congratulations Nobue👏👏
Thank you!
Hi Nobue
Thanks for the inspiring story. l am glad it worked out. Its a pity they admit foreign students but cannot let them practise. Anyway one of those things.
At least you made the best of the situation.
True! At the very least foreign students should be told on application. Thank you!
@@NobueKhumalo
l agree. It would also open many spots for locals who might otherwise not get the chance, assuming there are lots of foreigners on the courses.
Hopefully this is not a moneymaking scheme. At least with Medunasa etc they tell you from the beginning that only certain foreigners can apply. At least that's what my friend was told when he tried his luck.
Very detailed. 👌
🤗🙏🏽
Thanks for sharing.
Pleasure!
So proud of you Nobue
thank you sis!!
All the best
Hey. May you please make a video where you share some tips of how you managed to pass your LLB with distinction and also the study methods that worked for you.
Hi, I'll consider that. It was a while ago 🙈 but I'll consider it
Would much appreciate that video too😭😭 I am getting into law next year at uct
Just subscribed!
Yay!!
Congratulations ma
Thank you 🙏🏽
hi, thanks for your video. my question is how long does it take to get a reply after the watson glaser test?
Hie. It takes a couple of weeks. In my time we only heard back in August. As you can imagine there are hundreds of applicants and many factors to consider so it takes a while. All the best!
Hi. Thank you for this detailed information.
I actually have questions. How can I apply as a Nigerian?
Someone I met recently got in but she has been really busy of late so how can I go about it?
Thankyou for the information but can l ask , am a Zimbabwean and l want to study law and be a corporate lawyer in the UK which option do you think is the best for me to study my LLB in SA or in Zimbabwe?
Thank you for the amazing video. So informative. I am currently in my final year studying through unisa. I would love to serve my articles overseas. Not to sure how do I start the process. Would appreciate your help
Thank you
Hi Sarisha, I’m afraid it’s close to impossible unless you go through the Linklaters African Clerkship and are successful. Google it and you should be able to find all the info. It’s really competitive though, the take 5 per year from all of Africa so you need to really stand out academically. All the best!
Hi Nobue. Sorry it's me again with them questions. I am getting confusing information. So I am set to qualify as an attorney in South Africa. I have secured Masters in the UK from 2023 to 2024. I plan to be a Solicitor in the coming years. I fully understand that I need to complete the SQE's to qualify as a Solicitor. Do I also need to do the Post Graduate Diploma in Law to convert my South African LLB into a qualifying Law degree in the UK?
I was thinking that the SQE's will suffice. Kindly advise.
You won’t have to do that. The GDL was phased out from Dec 2021. So you’ll have to take the SQE route
Hi, I know this was a while ago but how long did you wait until you heard that you were selected for the first interview (after doing the watson Glaser)v🙏
hie there it was about 2-3 months
Hi Nobue. I’m studying law in South Africa, currently doing my 2nd year. I wanna apply on Linklaters , is there an application fee that needs to be paid to apply?
Hope you see this, thanks.
Hi there, no there is no application fee. Jobs or internships have no application fee, neither does this one. Applications will probably open around March 2024. All the best!
Hie Nobue, New subbie here. I studied in SA too but I'm originally from Bulawayo, Zim. I'm currently in your shoes and I'm planning on going to the UK or UAE. Are you on LinkedIn I'd like to reach out to you.
Hi Thando - I saw your message on LinkedIn. Thanks for reaching out!
Hi Nobuhle. Can a South African qualified attorney obtain a Trainee Contract from a law firm in the UK after finishing an LLM in the UK?
Hie there. Qualified as in admitted or just qualified as in LLB from South Africa? If admitted no need to do a training contract, it just LLB yes it’s possible. PS. It’s Nobubele
@@NobueKhumalo Thanks. I am set to be admitted as an Attorney in South Africa sometime next year. I have accepted a couple of Commercial LLM offers in England Universities for 2013-2014. I thought this will give me an advantage towards obtaining a trainee contract in the UK. Am I heading in the right direction?
I feel that an LLM degree and a trainee contract will give me vital experience for life as a solicitor.
PS: Thanks for the correction
@@AbduladheemDayimani if you are already admitted you start work as a Solicitor then will have to write exams within a certain period of time. You don’t have to go through a Training Contract again because you did that when you did Articles in South Africa
@@NobueKhumalo Thanks
Hi Nombue, I am doing Financial Management N4 this semester, is it easy to come for paying in service training there?
Hie there. I have no idea 😅😅 Sorry
@@NobueKhumalo Thank you dear
I’m a second year LLB student, I live outside the uk. Any idea if I could get a career in Linklaters uk?
If you're in Africa - Africa Clerkship, Australia - Australian Clerkship, India - Indian Clerkship. Apart from those I don't know.
New subbie 🙏🙏🙏❤
Yay welcome!
Hie Nobue, how did you prepare? I'm currently also applying
Hi Mitchell, the process has changed since I did it but one common thing is the Watson Glacier test, and for that you just need to practice as much as you can. Check online for free practice tests and just practice 🤗
I need you assistance please
As a UNISA student , I feel a little discouraged
Sorry to hear that. Don’t write yourself off
Why?
Hi ...are there jobs available for people who studied diploma in paralegal...
Hi there, not that I know of
Hi would like to serve articles clerkship at african law firm, please help ir a sort of law firm scholarship
Hie, unfortunately I don’t know of or have access to any scholarships
@@NobueKhumalo ok
Beautiful yet unfortunate, Africa lost such a talent!
🙏🏽 would've loved to be home but home doesn't love us, lol
Hi Nobue may l have your email address
Hi. Thank you for this detailed information.
I actually have questions. How can I apply as a Nigerian?
Someone I met recently got in but she has been really busy of late so how can I go about it?
Hie. It’s best to ask the person who recently got in because the system has changed over the 5 years since I did it. You have time, it usually opens around March
@@NobueKhumalo hope you well
May you please advise if you know how the process has changed since you last went through it. There isn't a lot of information on there website to go on.
@@duduzilencube776 hi there. The website is pretty much all the info there is. Once you’re past the first stage they will let you know what the second stage entails
@@NobueKhumalo thank you .
Appreciate the response
