    Hi John

    may I ask your advice?

    I am a UK citizen and studying the UK. Career-wise I either want to go into my own entrepreneurial pursuits or else work for a finance company (investment) here in London.

    I was wondering if I should study the global variant rather than the UK F4 exam. I would appreciate any input that you could give.

    The main reason for not choosing English is because the student has absolutely no ambition whatsoever of setting a practice or joining a practice in England because, if there were such ambitions, then English variant is a must (together with F6 UK tax, P2 UK Advanced Corporate Reporting and P7 Advanced Audit and Assurance)

    If you have no such ambition, then the choice is yours

    However, were you an overseas student with no interest in English law, global variant would be as good a choice as any other

    But as an English student you are probably better able to associate your own experiences with the decisions of the courts in some rather wonderful and amusing cases

    If it were me that was having to make the choice I would go for English variant … if only for the cases and the fact that English is therefore much less dull than the Global variant

    Has that helped?

    You’re welcome

    John looks after 5 forums, I look after 4, Ken looks after 4, P2D2 has 1 and Tax Tutor also has 1 so, as you move up through the papers, you’ll need to check!
