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.

ElephantStone Posted at 1:10 pm on Dec. 31, 2008 Well I have a Gallery willing to sell my work, and thats all I really wanted. I need a job with money, thats orgainised and barrister just ticks the right boxes. mandible Posted at 7:12 pm on Dec. 30, 2008 Or perhaps something else all together. Whichever the selection you should be doing that. mandible Posted at 7:11 pm on Dec. 30, 2008 Do you like this better? Or the art? ElephantStone Posted at 1:41 pm on Dec. 30, 2008 Lack of funds, basic training with the territorial army, life in the real world, potential work and again money change people. mandible Posted at 12:43 pm on Dec. 30, 2008 What happened to that dream? ElephantStone Posted at 12:40 pm on Dec. 30, 2008 yes, yes i was mandible Posted at 12:34 pm on Dec. 30, 2008 Weren't you applying for art way back when? TheatreMinelli Posted at 8:34 am on Dec. 27, 2008 Complete the course and do a law conversion course afterwards. EarthEmpire Posted at 5:12 pm on Dec. 22, 2008 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 :) ElephantStone Posted at 4:27 pm on Dec. 22, 2008 Quote: from EarthEmpire at 12:12 am on Dec. 23, 2008 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....

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. ElephantStone Posted at 6:17 am on Dec. 22, 2008 oh for fuck's sake. iBritt Posted at 6:07 am on Dec. 22, 2008 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? Most recent 15 of 20 previous replies displayed.
