[QUOTE="Jessica Booker, post: 140974, member: 2672"] Generally it really won’t have any impact whether you choose a dissertation or not. Same goes for the language module - the only way I can see this being an easy option is if you have studied the language already or have a level of fluency in it already. It won’t be seen as a waste - most law firms recruit non-law grads, so doing a non-law module is not going to be an issue generally. The only impact I can see it having is grades or if you wanted to go into a very specific niche in law. If you are not great at research projects, then I would avoid a dissertation purely to ensure you can achieve the best grade possible (the module grade is likely to have more impact than topic, but even then it is small impact). If you really wanted to get into a niche in law, then doing your dissertation on that niche could set you up well to pursue it later on, but again the impact would be just one minor contributor rather than anything that would define the rest of your career.
