UWE is really good. Ive had a great year so far doing the LPC. Dont get me wrong, it is hard work, but the course is hard wherever you go - it is alot different from Llb degree work. Its been really tough at times but ive hung on in there, lol!
It deserves every bit of its excellent rating - the course is well organised, the tutors are really willing to help and careers advice etc is brill.
They say the LPC is a 9-5 course - and that is true - i would say its more than 9-5 to be honest! At UWE we had pretty much every friday off in the first term, and some mornings and afternoons too. The timetable is split into 3 hour workshops which you have in your "base room" - with your group - stays the same for the first term - and 1 hour lectures - normally 2-3 a week.
This term though weve been doing our elective subjects and its alot less stressful - some weeks i have 2 whole days off and in the other weeks i have a day off and a 2-3 afternoons - so its cool.
