Law courses in London

[funkystars123]

Hi

My DD is yr 12, wants to do law and wants to stay at home which is in London.

She’s autistic so struggles with very busy public transport, we are on the Elizabeth line so currently looking at

Queen Mary
Kings
UEL
City

Shes likely to get ABB or something similar or hopefully higher ( depending upon how hard she works at maths) and will get a contextual offer from most places as we are in a deprived area and her school has a particular partnership with Queen Mary.

She is working hard on extra curricular, a young brownie leader, DofE gold, applying to be Head Girl etc…

Anyone any experience of these? She will want to do clubs but not clubbing! Loves music and lego at the moment so pretty nerdy! Not sporty and not likely to be drinking pints in the student union!

She’s interested in criminology so a law and criminology course would be ideal

Thanks in advance

I did Queen Mary law but as a 45 year old.
it was nice in terms of it being a campus and Everything in one place. Loads of clubs - look on the student union website to see the list.

i’m not sure if it does law and criminology but beware if any do that they may not then be an llb law degree which means you need to do law conversion later (and potentially repeat some modules, not sure how exemptions work)

Thank you! Really helpfull..

Don't waste time with criminology. I might not even be a qualifying law degree.

Every law degree has a criminal module, it's compulsory.

She really really should avoice the criminology option. Also an LLB if it is a good one will do criminal law so that is covered anyway (as already said above I just noticed). Also for barristers a qualifying law degree (not all count for that) is necessary and for solicitors wise as firms like a qualifying LLB or the law conversion course after.
For solicitors there is a pretty good list here where you can see King's for London is top for law

If she might be a solicitor do some google searches of linkedin trainee solicitor and then add the name of a law firm where she might like to work and see where those people went to university.
