Nottingham Trent for Law?

Hi

I have applied to The University of London to study for the LLB through the external program. I noticed that Nottingham Trent have a similar course, where it is possible to achieve an LLB in 4 years through distance learning.

I wondered if anyone has any experience of this and how Nottingham Trent is regarded when it comes to Law?

I can't seem to find any info or any threads related to studying Law at Nottingham Trent.

Thanks

Nottingham Law School is right up there with the best.

2 friends did their Law degree at Cambridge but came to Nottingham to do their LPC. One now works for Slaughter & May, the other for Withers.

However, are you sure it's the LLB that you can do by distance learning?

Their website only shows a 2 year Graduate Diploma which is a conversion course for non-Law degree students to do before their LPC or BVC.

They don't appear to offer an LLB course.

Thanks for the reply

Here is the link for the NTU distance learning LLB

It looks really good and I have ordered a prospectus, you just don't see anyone mentioning Law alongside Nottingham Trent, so I really wanted toknow what people thought.

That looks like an interesting course, and as it's distance learning, you wouldn't have to live in Nottingham...bit of a bonus! (trust me, I'm from Nottingham).

Like I said, NLS is very good, so if you like the look of the course, you should apply.

I'm reading law at Nottingham Trent, I'm in my final year.

I'll be going on to doing my LPC with them (have just been offered a place) and already have a training contract sorted.

Nottingham Law School is brilliant. The course structure, the staff and the teaching methods are all very good, and to be honest, I couldn't pinpoint any flaws. I'd definately recommend it.

I'd agree with Nisherz, i'm only in my second year reading law. I'll be on placement next year though.

As Nottm Uni doesn't offer LPC or BVC courses, your point is moot.

Nottingham Uni may have a better rep for it's LLB or BA(Law) courses, but a fair number of Nottm Uni students will still end up going to Nottingham Law School @ Trent to do their LPC or BVC.

As I said, Nottingham Law School is up there with the best.

Look, stick to what you know instead of giving out bogus advice. Nottingham Law School @ Trent is one of the best in the country, ask any law firm.
