English & Philosophy or Law

Hi guys,

I'm thinking of studying either law or English & Philosophy at uni but I can't decide which. Please help. Obviously both of them require a fair about of extra reading in order to get into the top universities, especially Oxbridge. I also want my EPQ to tie in with the course I'm going to study so I need to decide now.

What are the pros and cons of law and English/philosophy please? Or any advice regarding choosing a uni course.

Thanks

What do you want to do after uni? That's a major point to consider. While not all Law students go on to be lawyers (it provides skills, as well as knowledge), it does enable that path, while an English & Philosophy degree would require a conversion course before you could train to become a lawyer.

Your university degree doesn't have to tie into your ideal career, but it might help, so it's worth considering your future plans.

I'm not really sure. I done some law work experience and enjoyed it but I'm not fully committed. Plus, most people say a three year law degree is really dry and dull. Eng/Philo just seems a bit more interesting.
