I'm currently writing my personal statement for my university application in the UK. Because I am applying for courses in law (or Law?), I naturally need to use the word 'law' in my statement. Note that this statement is sent to 5 universities so does not refer to a specific law course. I have used the word in the following sentences:
The breadth of study for a law degree would provide me with the knowledge and experiences to determine the shape and direction of my career.
My interest in law also stems from its interdisciplinary nature...
I feel that I don't need to capitalise 'law' here because it's talking about the subject in general, and so it's not a proper noun. However, my advisor has given me feedback and suggested I do need to. Thoughts?
