Just a note to provide examples to illustrate what I say in comment to Cchat's suggestion.
A law degree without certain core subjects will still be a law degree but not open access to certain professional pathways. The same is true of psychology for example : if you wish to go on and qualify as a psychologist, if your degree has not covered sepcific core subjects, you will not be able to qualify, even if you obtain a masters in the subject. Certain professions are regulated by law and for many that strats with getting the right content in your degree. If you don't, then you may find yourself having to sit extra exams to qualify, or, as in my case right now, go "backwards" and do a degree. Again. Although for me it's a career change so I'm game!
Examples of disciplines aving to satisfy legal requirements for professional validation for later study or qualification : law, medical, paramedical, psychology, accountancy, architecture (UK). Entry into these fields requires specific degree content, by law. |
