youll need to do an extra law course after ur degree if it isnt law, and after u then do the LPC if u want to be a solicitor or BVC if u want to goto the bar.
Not doing a law degree doesnt mean ur disadvantaged at all... its just that someone ppl live and breathe law and want to do a law degree and ALSO pursue it after.
50% of lawyers did a degree other than law. As long as u show ur potential in whatever u study.. through 2.1 or 1st class degree and a good institution ull be fine.
tbh, if u have any doubt about taking a law degree anyway, u shud def not be doing it.
any questions just ask in the law forum or u can pm me.
