    Hey everyone,

    I'm considering doing a Law course, preferably Law & Business in TCD starting this year.

    However, this is my back up plan if I don't end up getting my first or second course. Just for some info, I have already done business for the LC.

    I have read mixed reviews on boards and I'm not too sure what to think about a Law course at the moment.

    I would appreciate it if anyone that is doing or has done such a course could tell me:

    1. Is the course interesting in relative terms?
    2. Whats the workload like and hours per week?
    3. Social life
    4. Future career and salary

    Thanks a lot in advance :D

    I just did straight law myself so cant comment on the business side of things. From my experience, the workload was very small only a few hours a week, 9 maybe? Obviously if you do decide to do business as well that will add to your timetable significantly. As a course I found it really interesting, easy to relate to and much more interesting than secondary school stuff. I wouldnt say that the subjects got harder as you went up through the years, you just do different subjects. At the end of your college degree, you wont be a qualified solicitor/barrister, you will have to do further exams in order for this to happen. If its becoming a solicitor you're considering, these exams are called the FE1s and once completed it takes roughly two more years, where you undergo an apprenticeship and complete a training course.
