Hi all,
Hope you can help!
I’m set on applying to undertake a BA in Law using the Open university full time. I’m 31, I have 1 child, a wife and a full time job in middle management, I’ll also be using a student loan in order to facilitate the degree costs. I have 3 GCSEs and no A levels and am essentially looking for a career change/bolster my current career path.
What would I do with the degree?
Upper management and directorship positions. Solicitor/barrister- both aspects are exciting- barrister being the more exciting option
- I’m a very dedicated individual- is it realistic to expect I can do this course in my situation?
- How does the job market view OU students?
- How does the job market view No A levels and just C’s for Maths and English lit and lang at GCSE level?
- Will having no A levels affect being able to qualify to undertake the BAR? Is it possible to qualify as a barrister without them?
- How does OU degree in law differ from a traditional degree as far as the content goes?
If anyone has experiences they can share that’d be fabulous! Essentially I just want more from life and a career, I feel stuck in middle management and although I enjoy it, I want more from life and my career for my family.
Any advice is much appreciated!
Thanks
