Hi again @Jonhanny,

Regarding more specific answers to your query, I would recommend either contacting a student ambassador directly on Unibuddy or contacting the law department directly at [email protected].

Hope this helps.

Hi @Jonhanny,

I am not studying law at Lancaster so I cannot give you any specifics. I will do some digging with the ambassador team to see if I can get anyone with some experience or any information in general for you. For now I'll send you this link to the Law Careers website to see if there is anything of use there.

In terms of more general advise, I would always go for a degree that is of highest interest to you. In my eyes, university is about finding something you are passionate about, in a way you couldn't in earlier education. So, I would never say it's a "stupid" idea to study law or whatever you are interested in, especially if there is a career at the end you really want to do. It will also make the process much more enjoyable, every subject has a few bits you will find tough to get through, but it would be a lot harder if you didn't want to do the subject itself and were only doing it for the career at the end - not that I think that this is your situation.

Hope this is helpful.

Hi Emily,

I can confirm that there is no interview process for modern languages at Lancaster.
Good luck with your application
