Why study Law at University if I want to become a lawyer?
If you are thinking that you might wish to pursue a career as a lawyer, whether a solicitor or a barrister, there are two different ways of getting the necessary qualifications. One is to study any subject at University other than Law, then do a one-year Law conversion course and finally complete the relevant vocational course to become a solicitor or a barrister. The other route is to study Law at University, typically for three years, and then take the relevant vocational course. The Faculty has produced a paper explaining the benefits of studying an academic law degree for those students wishing to enter the legal professions. This paper has also been produced as a YouTube video.

Why study Law at University if I don't want to become a lawyer?
A lot of people who study Law at University do so because they want to become practising lawyers, whether as barristers or solicitors, but it is not necessary to read Law at University to become a practising lawyer. Equally, studying Law at University is a legitimate subject for academic study even if you definitely do not want to become a lawyer or think that you may not become a practising lawyer. That is because the study of Law at University is not a vocational subject; it is an academic subject and an intellectual discipline. For those considering these options, the Faculty has produced this paper explaining the benefits of studying an academic law degree for those students who are not sure they wish to enter the legal professions. This paper has also been produced as a YouTube video.
