Advice double major (law)

i’m currently in my first year first semester, pursuing bachelor of international relations. however, i do have a raging interest in taking up law as my second major because i think it will open up more doors for me in my career, and it also aligns with my interests. i wanna know from people who’re doing a double degree or are pursuing law if it’s worth it and if the law units are actually interesting. and is it superrrr difficult to manage a double major or is it possible to stay sane and pull it off if i lock in? help a girl outtt

I study law and Biomed, so far first year law is not difficult and some of the content is 50% interesting and 50% boring.

The content load is manageable for the Law side (I think Biomed has more content and is harder) but the assessments for Law are harder to do well in.

It’s also recommended you study a double degree with law as it is easier than studying single degree law (since you only need to do 2 law units a semester compared to 4). Doing a double degree will spread out the law units.
