Help with applying for Law (ABB/AAB)

If I recall correctly, Oxford Brookes is the lower tier uni for the city? (i.e sheffield hallam) I was considering BBB as Derby, however I have not actually visited the uni, only the website.

I will also look into the suggested uni's, Northumbria is already on my list.

Any other input will help

Okay.

It just seems to me that uni's such as Oxford brooke, Sheffield hallam and Northumbria wont be as highly regarded when it comes to finishing the degree and getting a job

... all the higher tier uni's will be the favourites,

or do firms consider uni's outside the league tables?

First of all, I appreciate this is perhaps a fairly common thread type, but I have spent some time doing my own research.

I want to pursue a career in law, since the English legal system fascinates me and will also present a challenge for me (held down by dyslexia).

In a bit of a predicament with which Uni to pick, predicted AAB/ABB in my A2's, they are not great predictions considering that law is a very competative field and tends to attract the more intelligent students.

Looked at Edinburgh, however it being Scotts law, I would have to undertake a conversion course (£££). My ambitious 5th option is Sheffield, since I particularly like the Uni and location.

Could you help me with some suggestions as to what reputable Uni's I could apply too?

Thanks

AAB/ABB students will be at a disadvantage because there will be students predicted AAA or better applying everywhere (more people applying than ever these days anyway).

EDIT: It is very hard, even for the most able students, to become Solicitors/Barristers these days. Source: my law teacher and the experiences of her friends that she has told us about to encourage us.

i was in the exact same position as you this time last month, and i would highly recommend unis like sussex, surrey and in particular UEA. this is because even though UEA have a grade requirement of AAB, if you narrowly miss out on the grades needed they can be flexible in regard to your application. also, norwich is beautiful! even though UEA is quite a concrete jungle, the atmosphere and friendliness of the staff and students make up for it. its also quite well known for its law school, and satisfaction for law at UEA is amongst some of the best in the country, so definately consider UEA.

good luck, and all the best!

I do understand that the competition for such an ambitious career is high, however I am not going to just lie down and let the A* students steam roll me, giving up is weak

A degree in law is not just an asset for entering the legal profession, but to any future career, its a relatively impressive thing to have on the ol' CV. Regardless of this, I enjoy law, even if I do not manage to get into the legal profession.
