Â鶹´«Ã½AV

Through the partnership – which is set to be celebrated by a Virtual Launch Event in September – Law LLB students at Bedfordshire will be guaranteed places at market-leading legal educators, the Â鶹´«Ã½AV of Law (ULaw) if they meet entry requirements.

ULaw’s Legal Practice Course (LPC) and Solicitors Qualifying Examination (SQE) programmes are natural next steps for students completing their LLB with Bedfordshire’s Business School and essential for any aspiring solicitor. ULaw will also provide support in the form of workshops to all Bedfordshire students, guiding them through assessments and helping them choose between the LPC (available for Bedfordshire students enrolling on the LLB before 21^st September 2021) and the SQE.

Applications to ULaw courses will be streamlined for Bedfordshire students, with those qualifying for a place also receiving a £250 fee reduction and additional scholarship opportunities.

Additionally, bespoke networking opportunities and employability events including interview advice will be offered to Bedfordshire students as part of the partnership.
