Actually Queens University Belfast for law expects AAA - AABa for their entry requirements for 2007. Also they do not have a tariff points scheme, if you don't get the grades you don't get in the same with University of Ulster as well. The degree isn't as highly regarded as most English universities. However it is more highly regarded than University of Ulster as it's requirements are ABB for any law course available. Once again may I point out you will only be doing a straight law course of up to 18 modules unless you take on a language or politics that is the only other options you have. Personally the grades for Queens University Belfast in my opinion are totally laughable in regards to law as it is one of the most competitive courses in Northern Ireland at the moment and good luck to you if you even get an interview especially with the amount of students from Northern Ireland applying and also the amount of them who want to go to Queen's just to live in 'The Holylands' :rolleyes: it's uncomprehendable why they do this. The Holylands aren't exactly that special :rolleyes: Personally I am from Northern Ireland and to be honest I'm not even applying for a law course here as it's becoming a laughing stock for the grades and with the reputations of the law schools it doesn't fair too well.

Yeah i know what you mean about the alure of the holy lands and the benefits reaped from playing hurling/camogie in the middle of the street at 3am on st paddys day.....:smile::smile:

As for Queens having been to the open day and from speaking to people in the law faculty I was told that my offer would more than likely be AAB as I got four As in my As-Levels and Im predicted the same grades for this year. Whether or not I wish to study at Queens is a different matter. Although its a definate no-no for University of Ulster as I really didn't enjoy the opening day at Jordanstown.
