Can someone provide me with clarification regarding the Legal Horizons programme at Covington & Burling?

It says on the eligibility criteria that applications are open to “university students from any discipline, from their second year”. Does this mean that the programme is for second year undergraduates only, or is it for second year undergraduates and onwards (therefore including finalists and graduates)?

The “from” to me suggests you can be in or have completed your second year of university.

My initial thoughts as well - the form also states, when asking about undergraduate degree, if you are either on course for a 2:1 or have already gained it (paraphrasing here). However, other opportunities are clear regarding eligibility insofar as spelling out who can apply, so it seemed ambiguous. I have emailed asking this question to grad rec so hopefully I get a response soon to clear up the confusion.
