Soas or royal holloway for law?

Hello, I have an offer from SOAS to study Economics and Law and I have an offer to study Law with a Year in Industry at Royal Holloway. I am unsure which one to choose. Both are offering me AAB.

well, ultimately the decision is where you feel you fit in better. Ive heard that SOAS is good for economics which could suit your degree and also has good job opportunities as it is internationally recognised. i would suggest looking at the university ranking website and slot law in and see where both rank :smile:

Hello, congrats on receiving both offers! Its most important to choose a University which has modules which interest you! You can have a look through the Economics and Law modules here: https://www.soas.ac.uk/study/find-course/ba-economics-and https://www.soas.ac.uk/study/find-course/ba-law-and
SOAS is a unique university with a small but diverse student body. I have personally loved the teaching at SOAS and everyone is so friendly, there's a real sense of community. The Law department is exceptional with many professors who are experts in their fields, also a lot of the law students engage in Internships and work experience in big Law firms during their degree. SOAS Law gives you a great general basis as well as specialist skills and knowledge such as in Islamic Law, that stand out to employers.
Hope this helps!

I was wondering how a dual degree worked exactly

A dual degree is not too different from a single degree actually. Each year is 120 credits, so if you study a dual degree your year would be split 50/50 between the subjects i.e. 60 credits for each. Have a look at the page for the combined degree here: https://www.soas.ac.uk/study/find-course/ba-law-and or https://www.soas.ac.uk/study/find-course/ba-economics-and
It will show you what modules you can take each year from each course. For Law and economics the structure slightly differs depending on which subject comes first in the title but this isn't common for other combinations.
Hope this helps and let me know if you have any more questions!
