got my results Law at southampton or politics at Nottingham?

I originally got a contextual offer for law at Nottingham but got ABC in my A level exams (6 marks away from an A in psychology) they switched me to criminology but later agreed that i could do politics with international relations. However, I still have my insurance choice of Southampton which they have agreed to take me for law. I already have previous work experience at several MC law firms so I have that under my belt but which would be a better choice? Southampton Law or Nottingham Politics?

i am only debating this much as Nottingham has already agreed to give me extra access arrangements like extra time, rest breaks etc and i’ve seen online that some say southampton is mediocre for their law course. Nottingham also says i can get my exams remarked and if I get an increase in marks they can switch me back to law but i don’t know if it’s exactly worth it…? Would prefer some advice on how my current A levels would hinder my career in law as I know my a level grades will likely hinder my chances of getting into first year programs and vacation schemes.
