Law or Sociology?

So, after looking at options, I realise I would have to choose either A-Level Law or Sociology (along with the other three subjects). Your opinion on which I should take?

(Degree of choice: English)

Thanks in advance.

Law is an extreme amount of work, unless you're interested in learning loads of acts and facts, are interested in the content and have a reaaaally good memory then by all means go for it.

I believe Law is also not favoured by universities as an A Level.

Sociology is extremely interesting with minimal work required, it is essay based which should be suitable for an English student.

This is my opinion and I wish you much luck. May I also ask what your other 3 A Levels are?

Sociology! I'm biased because I study it

Sociology, infinitely more enlightening from a world perspective.

I find law rather esoteric and since you don't want to do a law degree or go into such employment I think sociology is more suitable.

Cool! How is it like?

Thought so myself, but wasn't sure. Law seems very... dry.

Thanks for the feedback!

I concur, I am a hobby sociologist myself; I like to read sociological books and jounrals for fun. Did get an A-level in it though. I also study a lot of political philosophy and know a few law-students so I know a bit about law too. Personally I do find law extremely tiresome. It is extremely specific in its applications compared to sociology/philosophy. Good for a career but it is not something I'de recommend as "supplementary studying material". Unless you live in the US in which case, maybe but even then that's more memorising your rights not actually understanding theories of law and their basis.

I lie to say the link between sociology and philosophy is as great as that between physics and maths, the latter being that which the former is founded on.

And I'de say there's a good link between degree level English and philosophy too.

Sociology is not dry and it is not esoteric; it is extremely enlightening no matter what your other subjects, or at least I found it so. It's like philosophy though in that if you want to truly get the best out of it you will need to read it a bit at home and by that I mean outside of what your school/college requires you do for homework. I mean, getting right into the very books that the A-level curriculum derives its arguments from.

It is all very deep and I love how far-reaching some of its conclusions can be for all sorts of applications.

Beware though - the French, take anything the French say with a pinch of salt. I am utterly convinced French academia is dire, maybe that's due to my schooling in Britain studying analytic philosophy but I am not biased, perhaps just ignorant.

I was looking at some resources for Sociology online and it seems like my kind of thing! However, do you think self-studying A-Level Sociology is recommended?

And thanks so much for all the info! :-D
