PPE or Law

2

I’m taking Politics, Economics and Spanish a-levels at A* A* A and am having a crisis between PPE or Law. I know that I’m quite limited with PPE courses as some unis want me to take maths so that comes into it. I also would rather stay in London for unis as well so this limits me quite a bit if I take PPE. I would like a degree that is useable abroad as I want to live / work not in the UK (South America maybe), which subject would be best for this? I’m also not sure if Law would be a good subject for doing study abroad’s? Do unis have less study abroad options for this subject? I’m very lost. Any advice would be much appreciated

So don't think about where u want to live in the future and if this country will accept my degree and whatnot because that's not the right way to think about stuff. First u need to think what do I want to do with my life, like do u want to go into PPE or law? do what u will love and enjoy the most as ull do better if u enjoy what ur doing and are interested in it. Then check out the unis in london e.g. u want to take PPE check unis in London that offer it, u have good grades u should have a good range of options. And don't think about going abroad right now no point in that ur just going to confuse urself. For now focus on what u are interested and what u want to do. Then check out universities local to u and maybe in different cities as well e.g. Birmingham or Bath. Once u get into university then think about jobs and stuff. Also whatever degree u get should be accepted everywhere so don't worry about it being useless or unusable. Idk if this helps but I hope you figure out what to do, and don't overcomplicate things so much.

Thank you so much for responding!! Im still very torn between the two subjects... I feel like they interest me equally it'll just mainly depend on whether one subject has better study abroad options or not?

The best study abroad options with law tend to involve the study of the law and/or the language of a non-UK jurisdiction.

There is also the possibility of obtaining a scholarship for postgraduate study abroad, if you do well in your first degree.

Have you also considered the possibility of studying PPE and thereafter studying for a PGDL (one year) or a senior status law degree (two years)?
