Law or law with politics?

I have offers back from queens for both courses but I'm not sure which one to choose. Any help?

Are both of them qualifying law degrees? If not, maybe that's a consideration which could influence your decision.

How interested are you in politics?Look at the syllabus? As long as your law part is still a qualifying degree then it wouldnt hamper your legal options much,you would just learn less optional law. You dont really give much insight.

Yes both are LLB, I am quite interested in politics but not a lot, however I have heard that law and politics is a lot easier than straight law.

Only you can make the choice.the only guidance you have given is that one is easier. If that motivates you then do law and politics.the aditional law modules that you would do tend to increase the breadth of your knowledge and help you specialise.

I wouldn't necessarily say that it's easier. Note that you'll be doing the same compulsory modules, although you might be able to take a break from law by doing some politics modules. Note that if you do end up doing law and politics, be prepared to explain why you chose the course when applying for training contracts.

Since you are interested in politics, then I don't see why you shouldn't go for it (especially since it is a qualifying law degree as well).

You mentioned training contracts,would studying law with politics be an advantage or disadvantage in regards to a training contract?
In MPO if you don't have a keen interest in politics don't take it.
Are you interested in the significance of a Irish border poll resulting from the common travel area?
If you would like to take easier modules, there are plenty of soft law modules available. You don't need to rely on politics to provide an easier degree.
