applying for uni xx

It is possible to apply for law and maths (at the same university) on my UCAS form or would it reduce my chances of getting into law? :smile:

You can apply to both, and it is not likely to reduce your chances of getting into law per se. However, you may find it difficult to write a personal statement for both (you only get one). You could focus on the shared concepts like logic, but I'd argue that those concepts are only really shared under a very shallow examination and that you would compromise your application to the more competitive course (law, obviously).

You could, however, keep a law personal statement, and still apply for the different course. A friend applying for medicine got an offer for Astronomy and Astrophysics (although that's slightly different - you can only apply for a maximum of 4 medicine places out of 5 possible applications, so they're more willing to make allowances). I'm tempted to say you might well still get an offer for maths with a law application.
