“I am 25 years old and graduated in 2005 from Cambridge University with a 2:2 degree in English literature. My studies were interrupted due to personal reasons, and I realise that that doesn’t change the fact that on paper I am a 2:2 candidate, but I am concerned how this may affect my pursuit of a career in law, specifically a career at the Bar…?

“I have been offered places on both the GDL and Graduate LLB programmes at City University this year, but am unsure which place to take. I applied for the two-year Graduate LLB programme because I thought that it would give me the opportunity to compensate for my poor first degree result at the same time as allowing me to learn more about the law over a longer period of time.
