| 0:00.0 | Thinking you've made a mistake with your uni choice? |
| 0:02.5 | Maybe you've changed your mind about those big lecture halls and that theory-heavy course. It's not too late to choose a practically focused law degree that gets you career-ready. Switching through clearing isn't settling for second best. It's giving you more opportunities to find your perfect match.
