I'm not enjoying the Geology major in my Archaeology and Geology degree. Since midterm ive been thinking about law, and i always have thought of doing law.

I thought it was through arts and humanities, that way i could just change my major. But its not...its a single discipline.

I feel fucked...and i don't want to drop out of uni....

ive fucked up.

Okay, fine, you want help?

Honestly, I don't really understand your problem.  I would suggest what blufindr suggested, finish this degree out and go back to do law, if that's possible.  Would you have to go through an entirely different institution to receive a law degree or something?

And I have to ask, if you've been interested in law from the start, why didn't you choose law?

How about completing the course. Wait until you're 23, then study law as a mature student. I think it's easier to get into courses when you go in as a mature student over here.

I don't know if it works this way at your uni, but can't you apply to the other faculty for the winter semester? Sure, you'll lose a semester, but if it gets you to doing something you really love, that'd be great.

Well thats what I thought - Id change my Geology major to a Bachelors in Civil Law (BCL) one. So I emailed a programme manager in the school of law about it and she replied:

Law can only be taken as a single major and not as part of another major.

I didnt mention BCL, but it shows HERE, if you'd please look, that quite clearly BCL is taken as a major with another one, i.e. philosophy...

The window for changing is open until 6 February. But Im not sure If I can change to BCL....

Is it possible that maybe she misunderstood you? Maybe she thought you want to do a double major and that's probably not allowed. But the ones they have - like BCL with Philosopy - might be like a major with a minor type of thing.
It's really similar with my faculty - we're only officially allowed to have one major, but if a student is willing to expand education to like 6 years instead of 4, they allow a minor.
I'd talk to some academic advisor in person, if I were you (and if that's possible). That way you can make sure you're both on the same page. Good luck though :)
