Hi! Do you think doing a linguistics degree and doing the law conversion course is more valuable (to law firms looking for talent) than just doing a law degree at university? Thank you! Kind regards, Eliza

Hi Eliza - It'll on paper be treated the same! Law firms have a very good 50-50 split between law & non-law degree holders, best to pick a subject you think you'll score the highest grade in as law firm requirements are 2:1 + and that's the main thing that matters! As a side consideration, the law conversion is naturally an extra 6 months / 12 month delay compared to straight law and an undergrad law degree allows you to slowly get to grips with legal concepts but in the grand scheme - they're of equal value!
