Law or Politics?

Hello! I don't know what I should study. I don't know whether I should study Franco-British Law, or Politics. French law with British law could be very interesting I think, but politics sounds very exciting as well, and maybe it could be a bit less boring than law. I don't want you to choose for me of course, but it's very hard to make a decision, so what would you choose?

The one you're most interested in - simple as that.

I did a politics degree, which I enjoyed, and I've gone into a good job since. I'm happy to answer general questions about doing a politics degree.

Don't forget that if you decided you wanted to go into law later on, then you could do a GDL conversion course after a politics degree, so it's not necessarily an irreversible decision. It's also worth remembering that the vast majority of law graduates (especially those from less good unis) will not end up working as solicitors or barristers.

You could also look at combined degrees - law with politics is not an unusual combination. But, if you choose this route and think you might want to practice law later then choose an LLB as it will avoid the relative faff and expense of a GDL.

I read law at uni and am now a trainee solicitor, so happy to answer any questions. If you pick law make sure it's an LLB, not a BA, since otherwise it won't be a "qyalifying law degree" and you'll have to do the GDL to become a lawyer.
