    SQE Law Essentials ULaw

    Hi everyone, I’ve quickly checked that this has not been asked before, but do direct me to a thread where it has been if that’s the case. I’m considering self-funding the SQE foundation course at ULaw. Is there anyone here who has already taken it? I’d love to have a chat if so!

    Unsure where I stand. LPC or SQE?

    I appreciate this may be a really niche situation. I have contacted the SRA, however I am still awaiting a reply. I am a non-law graduate who works at a law firm (currently on maternity leave).

    Hi !! I am yet to secure a TC but am planning to self-fund the LPC next year. I am currently completing the GDL. I want to stay with Ulaw. Would it be advised to do the LPC straight? Or add an LLM or MSc? Is this extra masters expected by firms? I am a bit concerned with the extra...

    ULaw or BPP for LPC?

    Hi guys, I just got an offer from BPP and ULaw. I am a self-funding international student so I am a bit more lenient towards ULaw because they have offered the International Bursary which has made the course cheaper, whereas, I don't qualify for the BPP one due to my grades. I wanted to get a...

    ULaw VS BPP - for personal law (not corporate / commercial)

    I am starting the GDL in September and have offers from both University of Law (Moorgate Campus) and BPP (Waterloo campus). I chose these two GDl providers because of the excellent careers service / Pro Bono work and the fact the courses are taught by lawyers. I've also seen that both have...

    Online LPC at the University of Law?

    Im wondering whether anyone has any experience doing the online LPC with the University of Law? I am considering this as a potential option as it is much cheaper than the full time in person LPC, and I might need to self-fund my LPC as the firms I want to apply to generally can’t sponsor. I’ve...
