Foundation year

I suggest that you study at Reading. It's underrated.

Hi.
I'm Sid, currently studying LLB Law w/ international business at the University of Reading.
Reading is a respected institution, and the Law programme attracts many strong applicants each year so it’s great that you are thinking about studying with us.
From you message I think you mean that your predicted grades mean you won’t have to do a foundation year at Reading - however if you think you may or would like guidance - I did so let me know and I’ll give you more of an insight surrounding this
I’ll just talk about our offerings then discuss opportunities with careers and our connections.
Our main LLB Law degree you'll find a lot of flexibility and support. You can tailor your studies with optional modules in areas like commercial law.
Year 1 - contract, criminal, English legal systems and key skills, public law 1 , Tort (optional - law and society, research, Ethical GenAi), year 2 - Equity and trusts, eu law, land law, pubic law 2 (optional - banking law, research project, legal writing credit, religion and law, law of evidence, intro to ECHR, international law foundations, succession law, art and cultural heritage law, employment law).

Law firms now look for your experiences and commercial awareness and Reading does offer this as I’ll mention below from Pro-Bono to volunteer to Moots to Work Shadowing from magic circle law firms, really giving you that grounding in law beyond academics.
We do have upcoming taster & offer holder days that you will be invited too if you pick Reading as a choice - it’s really worth attending these, we usually hold talks and student insights on our offer holder days , where much more detail is given about the course, uni life and opportunities. - if you are unsure about any offer holder day timings / if you need to update any contact details make sure to email our admissions team.
There may be flexibility with certain entry requirements and we can offer contextual offers for our firm choice offer holders especially. It’s certainly worth contacting our admissions team with any case by case questions, if you have any concerns with this.
The Careers Team and Law School regularly host events, insight days, and employer talks to help you explore different legal paths. - we have connections with key law firms in regards to offering you opportunities to apply for internship schemes and pro bono charity work which are vital in securing a training contract etc. we also have a Mlaw course - after your main degree has finished, for a SQE prep.
There's a clear focus on helping you prepare for your future, whether that's becoming a solicitor, barrister, or working in a related field.
Outside of academics, Reading offers a vibrant social scene. There are over 100 student societies, including the Law Society, which organises mooting competitions, socials, networking events and more. Plus, the university hosts a variety of events throughout the year, including club nights and career fairs, so there's always something
going on.
If you have any more questions about the course, or student life at Reading, feel free to reply to this message, l'd be happy to help!
Kind Regards,
Sid
