What is the best time table routine for an English undergraduate student?
I am an English degree student at university. I want to be a law lecturer in future. What should I do everyday?

Start with a Law conversion course :
MA Law | Study at Bristol | University of Bristol
Law MA | 2025 | Postgraduate
etc.

If you wish to have a career in academic law, you could start with a PGDL, but I suggest that you consider instead obtaining a senior status degree in law after completing your degree in English. This would take you two years after graduating, and might make you a more competitive candidate than a PGDL. You would then need to continue studying as a postgraduate with a view to obtaining first a Master's degree and then a Doctorate in law, and once started on a doctorate you could apply for junior academic posts.

I add that although I teach law at a university part time, without having a degree in law, I can only do that because I've been in practice at the Bar for decades.

Hello,
I’m not sure that it is something that you need to do everyday, but the first step is to definitely start considering applying to study the postgraduate law conversion course, or PGDL, for when you have completed your English undergrad degree. You can take this course at many universities in the UK, as well as the University of Law, which offers many various routes to take the course. Your current university may even offer it and if you wanted to remain there it could be worth enquiring into this.
Once you have a short list of universities you would like to attend and that you can fulfil the grade criteria for, visit on open days to find out which you like and dislike, it’s much the same as choosing your undergraduate institution.
I would suggest submitting your application as soon as possible once the applications window opens, but take plenty of time over the application, making it as strong as possible. You could seek advice from your university careers department - the university of Chester has a brilliant careers team that really does help students I’m sure yours will too. It might be good to see the law tutors at your current university for their advice, as they are working in the field.
Continue Working on your English degree too so that you can do yourself justice here!
Good luck

Hi Studious1234, 👋
Fellow English student here!
It's great to hear you are thinking about a career in lecturing law, that sounds so interesting.
The University of Sheffield actually collaborate with The University of Law (ULaw) so students can study various ULaw courses, such as conversion courses, at our Sheffield campus! 🧑*🎓
If you are interested in finding out more about this, here is the link to our webpage.
Also, a great thing you could do would be to reach out to lecturers and professors of Law, either at your current university or at a potential future university. This would be a great opportunity for you to make new connections and discuss your interests or any questions/queries you may have. 😊
Is there anything you would like to know about studying law at the University of Sheffield, or perhaps student life in Sheffield in general? Feel free to ask me anything. 😄
Best wishes,
Phoebe
