Torn between History or Law degree choice

miss_fitzy2003
Q: Hi, It has come to that time, for me to write my UCAS personal statement, i am currently still torn between doing history or law at degree level, and was wondering if you could help me or give me any tips in order to be able to include both this subjects appropriatley in my statement.So i can apply to do either course. Thank you very much, Emma
Answer: These are both very popular and very competitive courses. It is a very bad idea to divide your choices between the two, since this suggests indecision, and you are competing with able applicants who will be committed to one of them. This would put you at a clear disadvantage. In principle universities no longer know where else you have applied, but I wouldn't rely on that. Moreover, your Personal Statement must refer to both subjects if you want to go this way, and that tells all. So you MUST make a choice!

The only way round your dilemma is to apply for joint courses in History and Law, though there are relatively few of them - see the UCAS DIrectory.

Whatever you decide, your UCAS Personal Statement must stress the benefit of your training in History (I assume you are studying it) - so talk about analytical skills, construction and evaluation of argument, appeal to and selection of evidence, and precision in the use of language.

I hope this is helpful.
