Uni or apprenticeship in law

[Flimingo]

For DD who’s doing A-Level aspiring career in law. Should she join uni or do apprenticeship route?

I think she should apply for both and if she manages to get an apprenticeship go for that. She will have work experience and a route in as well as a degree but they are extremely competitive so apply to uni too.

What are her A level subjects ? Is she academically ambitious ? What are her grades like?

If she can get a degree apprenticeship, definitely that! But they are really competitive.

If it is a degree level apprenticeship then always the apprenticeship. It’s a combination of no student debt, and while all your peers got their degree, you got a degree and 3 years of paid work experience in the field.

They’re very difficult to get in some fields though, I suspect law will be one of them.

She can apply for both

Psychology,Sociology,Drama.
predicted A-Level so far are ABB.
GCSe were 7s mostly
i would say she is not very ambitious but has potential

She’d be very lucky to get an apprenticeship and there will be kids with higher grades going for them. You never know though!
My DC is doing a law degree at Reading and is enjoying it.

I would say even a paralegal apprenticeship at L3 would be very useful but even they are very competitive and are often taken by graduates.
