I am applying for DV 2017, I want to know if a University degree in Law from the University of London will be substantial for the education requirement as I have completed only 2 of my A/L subjects.Do you believe this could be a problem?

It could be. The instructions did state High School (i.e. 12 years elementary) completion, however the actual application was a bit deceptive (asking only what is the highest education you have achieved).

Are you able to cover your bases through the employment route? If you have been employed as a lawyer for at least two years, you are qualified via employment qualifications.
 
In past years, the requirement has been for at least three GCE/A Level subjects.

Did you get into university after finishing high school on the basis of your A Level results?
 
But there's been a change in the wording of the education requirement this year which may make it easier to argue for a university degree compensating for lack of high school completion.

Thanks Emily My Degree program required only A/S level completion and a Law diploma to sit for the degree programme. But its an internationally recognized Law degree
