Hey guys i am in huge dilemma here. I just started my engineering degree not too long ago and unfortunately i starting to realize that i might be in the wrong major. The reason i took engineering in the first place is that i got all As for physics, maths and chemistry for my a level so i thought with my subjects combination engineering definitely would be the best major for me but seems like i made a huge mistake back then. The classes now are so dull and that's why i am thinking to switch to law but i am too afraid to make this change now as i have been a science student since form 4. I have wasted my few months to study something i dont like so to make sure i am not going to make the same mistake again i want to be 100% sure i wont be regretting again afterwards. The thing that makes me hesitated on switching to law is that i am afraid my English level is not up to par and studying law later will be struggle for me and maybe even it will have significant impact on my future career as a lawyer later on. I have done some researches about how being a lawyer is like and i found that lawyers actually have do a lot of drafting and sometimes going to courts is inevitable which i think with my English level it would be a major disadvantage to me. So what you guys think i should know before i make my decision on studying law. I just need some wise advises to make sure that i will not make the same mistake by choosing a wrong major. Any reply is highly appreciated.

Hi there, are you currently studying law. Any good advice? To be frank, my oral skills are bad or maybe just not good enough to be a lawyer because all of my family members speak mandarin most of the time so there is barely any chance for me to practice my English speaking skill. Lawyers need extroadinary good English, dont they? Besides, my writing skill needs a lot of improvements as i cant really write a good eassy and lawyers need to write contracts which is gonna require a very good writing skill and thats the thing that sometimes makes me wonder is law really suitable for me.

Sometimes I even feel embarrassed communicating with other people in English. Not to mention lawyers usually have to be good at debating as i cant even have a proper presentation in front of my classmates without feeling ashamed. So if i am certain i will be taking law i will definitely have to put double efforts compared to the others. Btw, are you practicing now? Mind sharing which route did u take to get your law degree? And how was life being a law student?

Hi guys, if i were to enrol into UoL law programme in this january intake may i know will i be taking the exam with those students from other intakes?(march, september etc.) Because from what i see there is only one examination every year for UoL law programme which i think is around may or june (correct if i am wrong). So if there is only one exam each year does that mean i will be wasting 8 months of time since students from september intake will have the exam together with students from january intake? And if i am gonna enrol on 2016 january may i know in which year and month i will be able to pass UoL law and CLP( assume that i pass every single exam) thank you.
