Law vs Architecture
Hello all,
Im a year 12 student studying an extended btec diploma in civil engineering/construction and the built environment which is an equivalent to 3 A-levels. I have been interested in architecture however i fear it may not do well for me financially and ive also been more and more interested in law. Im unsure as to what i should do in uni could anyone please help me that has any experience in any of the two, in the same situation as me or has a logical explanation for what they think is more suitable in this situation. I fear i also may be limited as my GCSE grades werent all too high. My highest was two D* which is an 8/9 in construction (btec).

Architecture as a career is much more forgiving of a less academic background and lower grades than law is.
Suggestion - look doing at a 1-year Art and Design Foundation Diploma between school and Uni :
Art & Design Foundation Diplomas (Art foundation) (thecompleteuniversityguide.co.uk)
This will expose you to new art concepts and techniques, and specialist teaching, and without an Art qualification your options for Arch will be very limited. It also gives you valuable 'pause and think' time to work out of this is what you really want to do, or if Law or something else is a better option.
