Law Clearing 2019

Is there any chance that LLB Law courses would be able to apply during Clearing 2019? Probably, I should not hope for any from universities like Lancaster Univesity, Russell Group ones?

Your question isn't entirely clear, but yes you should be able to apply for decent LLB Law courses through clearing. If that's what you're asking.

Lancaster and Surrey were in last year. As well as Cardiff, Newcastle, Sheffield, Glasgow, Southampton, QUB, and Manchester.

Thank you! I have another question. My personal statement is about Politics course (which is a quite similar subject). So should I re-write my personal statement for Law course, in order to successfully participate in Clearing?

They don't normally require a PS, afaik.

They don't normally require a PS but will occasionally ask Clearing applicants to email them one, so it's a good idea to have a new one prepared before results day, just in case. You just need to tweak your existing PS a little to explain why you have an interest in studying Law

RG etc - unlikely unless you are an Overseas applicant.

Try phoning Lancaster now to check.

Hey,


Yes! You can apply to The University of Law. They are open for clearing. To see more information about the clearing and how to apply click on the link below:

https://www.law.ac.uk/clearing/

We are on of the top 10 university in the UK for Student Satisfaction in the 2018 NSS and we have over 64,000 alumni and strong relationships with business and employers, giving students the best networking opportunities. Also we have great employment prospects: 92% of full-time UK LLB students graduating in 2017 secured employment or further study within six months of completing their course. We’ve trained more practising lawyers than anyone else in the UK and we have quality of teaching: TEF Gold. You will be taught by qualified lawyers and industry experienced professionals.

I hope this helps :smile:
University of Law always seem to be in Clearing for the LLB....it's because they're not a normal uni and you won't get the normal uni experience by going there. Who wants to spend all their time with a load of lawyers???

Look at this very carefully folks. And be careful.

"We are on of the top 10 university in the UK for Student Satisfaction in the 2018 NSS ."
They aren't - they are equal 12th with a whole bunch of others. And that's 'Overall Satisfaction' on ALL courses (including short course/weekend/distance learning courses, specialist postgrad for practising Barristers etc etc.). It means nothing for an 18 year starting an Undergrad course this year.

"92% of full-time UK LLB students graduating in 2017 secured employment or further study within six months of completing their course."
What as? Junior lawyers on training contract with Magic Circle Firms (no) - or, working in legal work that didnt need a degree, or working in Tescos? Or needed another qualification to get any work? And thats a figure from two years ago. Its a meaningless statistic for anyone starting an Undergrad degree this year who be graduating in 2022.

"We’ve trained more practising lawyers than anyone else in the UK." This doesn't mean 'more Undergrads'. They are including all the people who do short professional courses with them and this is therefore very misleading.

"You will be taught by qualified lawyers and industry experienced professionals". You will be at every other University as well. So this is not in any way 'special'.

Please remember, the University of Laws is a for-profit, private university. They are entirely commercially driven.
AND its based at eight different locations in the UK - so which one is all of the statistics about then, no guarantee that any of their claims apply to the one building you might enrol at.

The University of Laws runs 8 small professional colleges, and its is a totally for-profit, private enterprise.
If you want a 'student experience' with all the bells and whistles you'd expect from 'being at Uni' then go to a conventional University - and one that actually doesnt try to deceive you before you have even got through the door.

What do you mean by 'normal uni experience?'

It's not a normal uni, it's a private uni.

They don't have a normal campus, they don't have many sports or social facilities, they don't provide accommodation, they are largely geared towards postraduate students doing professional courses in Law and Business. Also, see @returnmigrant's post above.

Okay, so you wouldn't recommend this uni for undergraduate? I have been considering this uni.

Personally, no I wouldn't. Where else are you considering?

Birmingham city or aston. It's been a while since I studied. I was studying part time a few years ago with the open university but now want to go to a brick uni. I'm hoping to use the credits I gained at the open university to enrol. Which I am aware not all unis accept.

I would say Aston is the best uni out of those 3, but maybe you wouldn't mind the University of Law being non traditional as you are a mature student? The best thing is to visit them before committing yourself to anything, and check that you are happy with the environment and feel of the place.

Yeah I would be classed as a mature student.🙃 I was more swayed to the university of law as it's the only one that does law with criminal justice. But I will enquire to see where my open university credits will be accepted and go from there
If you look on WhatUni.com you'll find a variety of Unis offering LLB Law with Criminal Justice or Criminology (essentially the same subject, just a different name).
