<p>Okay first of all I really apologize if any of this has been asked before. I did look around., but I'm a bit lost to say the least....</p>
<p>Okay for the background info first; so my mom and her mom's entire family were born in England so the country and culture have always been a major part of my life. I have a TON of family in England and I absolutely have been in love with that country ever since I can remember. Ever since I was a little girl whenever my grandma left on a trip to England I would ask if I could go with her. XD </p>
<p>I am top in my class as a rising junior and so far have a 4.0 unweighted and a 4.083 weighted GPA. As far as tests go so far I have gotten a 5 on APUSH and a 770 on the SAT US History Subject Test. This year I plan to take the ACT, SAT Subject Tests in Bio and Lit, and AP exams for Bio, Lit and Comp, and US Govt. I have solid ECs, which I am under the impression don't really matter anyways in England?</p>
<p>With all that in mind I am considering applying to Cambridge or Oxford. If I was to go to school here I would double major in International Relations and Spanish and go onto to law school to study international law. So what would that correspond to in England? Are you able to study law as an undergraduate? And which of those two colleges would be best for my area of study? Overall, I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed by the amount of information out there and I would welcome any feedback, thanks!</p>
<p>You can study law as an undergraduate, but you would not be able to double major at Cambridge or Oxford. Some other school in England will allow you to do a joint honours course. Look up UCAS - you can do a course search and see what school would let you do a joint Spanish and law degree. </p>
<p>You should be aware that studying law in the UK would not allow you to practice in the US. You’ll be trained in English law.</p>
<p>Well Oxford does have a few joint degrees - and since you want to do law but go to the UK, I think your best option is to wait until law school in the US to study law, and instead go for a joint degree in History and Modern Language (yours would be Spanish of course) at Oxford.</p>
<p>Are you only looking at English universities? It would probably be easier to double major in Scotland.</p>
<p>St Andrews and Aberdeen offer it, and whilst Edinburgh doesn’t officially… if you apply for Spanish or International Relations it would be fairly easy to take the other as your “outside subject” and apply to take them both to honours years.</p>
<p>If you’re set on England, the University of Exeter and the University of Leeds both offer International Relations and Spanish. Royal Holloway, University of London offers Spanish with International Relations which is basically a major/minor course.</p>
<p>I almost forgot, University College London do a fabulous course called European Social and Political Studies (ESPS). It’s a little complicated, but you basically choose a language and specialise in one other area.</p>
<p>@ Spriteling - Yeah, I was getting the impression that I wouldn’t be able to double major and yes I am aware that I would be trained in English law and wouldn’t be able to practice in the US. However, I may make the move to the UK permanent. I’m not completely sure, though. And thanks for the school suggestion. :)</p>
<p>@ pinkpineapple - Thanks so much! That’s a great suggestion and that would be a good option for me since it would allow be to study both of the areas I want to and then go onto to study law, whether it be in the US or maybe the UK if I decide to stay there. </p>
<p>@ SamualUK - Yes, I am only looking at universities in England. Partly because most of my relatives in Europe live in England with a few in France and Germany and I think having family nearby would help me transition into a new country better. Thanks, though. And thanks for all the suggestions I’ll look those up!</p>
<p>Lol that just seems weird to me, i mean Scotland is hardly the other side of the world… but if you’re set on England, that’s cool. If you want to study Law here then you could always do a degree in Spanish/Intl Relations then do the one year graduate diploma in Law at the College of Law. If you do that and pass the LPC or BPTC, you will get a LLB law degree in two years, which is pretty sweet.</p>
<p>I do think you should seriously look into the ESPS course though, its very competitive to get onto… but is probably the best of its kind anywhere, and is far superior to PPE at Oxford.</p>
<p>Haha it’s okay. I’m a weird person so that works. And I know it’s like the difference between the US and Canada and that seems big to me. Which is even stranger considering the fact that I live in Michigan like 45 minutes from Canada. Anyways, I certainly will check it out.</p>
