AAB Law universitiesevening folks,
i'm currently in my first year at college and have been gathering university prospectus' from various universities, however i have noticed that the "russell group" / good employment prospect universities all want AAA for my a2 results.
I'm targeted A(*), A, B, i was wondering what the best university to study law with grades of AAB would be?
many thanks

Re: AAB Law universitiesBirmingham (maybe others now too) offer either AAA or A*AB
Liverpool (RG) and Leicester (well ranked/amazing
) both offer AAA but allow you to include General Studies as one of those 3. Given GS is frankly a bit of a doss this is a nice halfway house.
Warwick and Durham both offer Sociology and Law with lower offers than their, very good, straight law courses and Warwick is a Qualifying degree. Warwick also offer Law and Business at AAB.
As you can see if you haven't got AAA you can play the system a bit.
Finally there are unis like Kent, UEA, Hull etc. which have reasonable reps for law and offer lower grades for the straight LLB.Last edited by roh; 09-05-2012 at 18:33. -

Re: AAB Law universitiesFantastic recommendations thanks, it has to be Law on its own (M100) to allow me to progress onto the LPC in Manchester, i think Kent is a brilliant shout.(Original post by roh)

Warwick and Durham are my first two choices, however i think i will struggle to get the A in Geography, which is why i need a reserve -

Re: AAB Law universitiesIn order to progress directly onto the LPC directly (no GDL) it simply has to be a Qualifying Law Degree, which is totally unrelated to the UCAS course code as there's loads of variants (with languages is common) which still fulfil this.(Original post by JLXP)

The list on the Solicitors Regulation Authourity website is here
As you can see of those listed the Birmingham (A*AB offer), Liverpool and Leicester's General Studies offers and both Warwick courses fall into that category. Only Durham doesn't. -

Re: AAB Law universitiesThats a brilliant site, many thanks. I didn't realise many of those courses were qualifying law degrees!(Original post by roh)

Re: AAB Law universitiesIt's alright. Obviously be aware that a qualifying degree and getting job as a lawyer are far from synonymous...How many graduates from some of those go onto a TC or Pupillage we don't know.(Original post by JLXP)

Good luck with your ASs and if you do end up predicted A*AB or AAB remember you can look for 'loopholes' into 'top' unis and that may benefit you down the line
