 Hello,

I'm currently studying PPE, but am toying with the idea of transferring my credits to study Law next year. I would just like to hear from students currently studying law to get an idea of what its like. I would guess its a good challenge, interesting and stimulating, but would like some of your thoughts please,

Regards,

Mike

Hi mike, i have been studying law with the OU for the last 5 and a half years, and am close to completing the llb in english law this year. Law is indeed a challenging subject, more so through distance learning, but it is interesting, rewarding and worth considering if you have an interest in the subject or wish to pursue a career in the legal profession. I came to it with no experience whatsoever other than a desire to push myself beyond what i had ever thought i could do, and it has been a long and difficult haul, but one that i am glad i have undertaken. If you are interested, there is an open university law society through which you could reach others who are studying or have studied the OU law courses, including former students who have gone on to become practicing lawyers, Kind regards, Mike

 Thanks for the comments Marion and Mike, I think I have already made my mind up to take the plunge and I think it will be a tough but good decision in the end. I think the prestige of a Law degree is something that will always be with you, but until I get in the thick of it it seems a bit daunting. I would love to be successful and become a practicing lawyer, so much so I am online looking it up almost everyday! Good luck to you both in your remaining studies,

thank you for your comments,

Mike

@Mike: looking at the time of your reply I would guess you were watching the golf? I was!
