writing uni application help
hi! i'm applying for law with criminology at 4 universities, and the remaining one is law and criminology. the "with" courses are the ones i most want to be accepted to. i have written my personal statement only talking about "with" courses, and thats what i mentioned them as in it, as i didnt think i would be applying for an "and". should i change this on my application? or does it not really matter?

Hi @fayecrowley
It should be fine as your most interest in the 'with' courses and if you've talked about why you want to study both aspects eg. law and criminology, it still shows your passionate about the 'and' course.

You don't really need to refer to either "law with criminology" or "law and criminology" at all in a PS. You don't need to open with "I am applying to Law with Criminology" in your PS - your universities know what course you've applied for with them. Keep your PS focused on the fact that you're interested in a degree that covers both subjects.
You can just start off talking about how you became interested in both law and criminology as subjects and why would like to study them in a combined degree, then go into each subject in more detail to explain what aspects interest you most and what supercurriculars you've done linked to each.
