Hi!
I do find myself enjoying the law course at city. Some modules have coursework as assessment which has 6 weeks of time to be submitted, others have a 6 hour take home exam. Post-COVID, The City Law School will not go back to in person pen to paper exams! The lectures are 1 hour 50 minutes with a ten minute break at the end of the first hour. Finally, personally I am liking City and their Law program. Highly recommended!

hiya! we get access to Kortext and every book we need for coursework is available on there for a year. other than that, there are ample amount of copies available in the library to be borrowed. i have never felt the need to spend money on buying a book!

hello,
i was hoping to apply through clearing but im worried about the likelihood of getting a training contract after uni as most are given to Russel group grads around 75%). what does city do to help with the employability side of things when nearing the end of the course?

Hi!

I do understand your concern and as someone who shared the same concern, I can assure you that City has ample amount of Career Support in form of employability sessions, firms coming to campus to speak with students and many further opportunities sent in during the academic year of vacation schemes, open days and even training contracts with different firms.

Do you know if you can do a GDL at the UoL after doing a degree apprenticeship for a different degree?

You'd have to independently fund your studies but I think doing the PGDL at BPP might be an option?

Hey, I believe classes start from the week of October 2nd. And the week right before would be fresher's fair week. LLB students come in to campus 3-4 days a week.
