I am currently in Year 12, and it is getting close to when I must start choosing what I want to do at uni and writing my personal statement.
I know how my exams have been, so I know I won't be predicted as high as A*AA, I think I should be predicted AAB.
One of the main reasons why I am debating a History and Politics degree is because it interests me as much as Law does, and I know this as I do both subjects at A-level. Also, History and Politics degrees have lower entry requirements than Law, effectively allowing me to meet these for the universities I want to apply to. So I am looking for advice from current LLB Law students/ graduates or those who have done another undergraduate degree and then completed a GDL.
I would generally like to know the benefits and drawbacks of both options, and answers to the questions below.
Is it easier to get into Law by doing a GDL because of the lower entry requirements for History and Politics?
How hard is the GDL?
How do both options look to employers?
