Not sure what to pick

Leeds Law
KCL Politics
Bristol Politics and IR
Planning to become a barrister but I do also quite enjoy politics. Split between the three as they all have their benefits.

Remember that you can still take Law at postgrad with a Politics degree -

Look at the optional units available for all years of the Politics courses at KCL and Bristol - which units would you actually pick if you went there? You will probably be invited to Offer Holder visit days - an opportunity to look around with a more critical eye, to listen to a detailed course presentation, to ask questions and think carefully about the reality of living in each city. Remember that you have until *June* to make this decision, so you have plenty of time to think carefully about this.

Hi,

I would recommend looking at the modules for each degree at the different universities so you know the exact content you will be studying. This will give you the best insight into which degree you will enjoy studying the most.

As the above user has mentioned, you are able to take a Law conversion course if you have not taken Law at an undergraduate level. If you feel that you would enjoy studying Politics over Law for 3 years then I would suggest to go with this choice and then do a Law conversion course. This way, you will be able to experience both courses.

Continue researching all 3 degrees and perhaps contact students who have studied at these universities so they can provide a realistic insight into what it's like to study these courses - LinkedIn is a great place to start!

Best of luck!
