“Some tutors are decent and will put a lot of effort in to help and support, the rest are just there. Support staff are generally clueless about most things and generally disorganised. I was taught PI on the LPC by a barrister so make of that what you will. The course is probably "market rate" but there is no value for money and they will do just enough to get you through the door before slamming it shut. I studied postgraduate so the impact was less on me, but there is absolutely no "student" feel to the place. Unless you have single minded focus for your studies then youre going to be bored a lot. One final point, I never attended an exam where there wasnt a pink amendment slip on the desk because a question or scenario was wrong in the paper. If you have an essay or assignment, unless you ask well before its issued, they will not support or answer basic questions about it because its a live assessment. Im not saying dont go. The flexibility in study is great and there isnt a lack of knowledge and professional experience in the building. There just isn't any support there once you've paid your fees.”

“The lessons were generally good and they have good law related extra curriculars, but there is no social side to the university whatsoever. The student union is practically non existent and there’s barely any societies. The employability service is no where near as good as I expected and on the civil dispute resolution module everybody I knew was confused the whole way through. I tried to ask for help on behalf of the class and was told it’s just common sense and to just do what we would do if we were working as a lawyer!”

“I studied the accelerated LPC and it was disorganised from beginning to end. We weren’t considered in decision making for the whole university. In particular, we were toyed around re the administration of our exams was a mess (during Covid) with some cancelled just days before and then had to sit all of our exams in the summer with essentially no refresher classes. This also meant we finished our courses later than had been planned. The groups sponsored by the magic circle firms received extra materials that weren’t available to us. The teachers were generally good but taught us how to answer an exams questions rather than any deeper understanding. The administrators were actively unhelpful when I asked for adjustments to accommodate my anxiety, and they didn’t send my degree certificate until almost two years after I completed my course. I would not go back in a hurry.”

“I cannot fault the teaching staff at Ulaw who are extremely experienced and helpful. The careers service (in Exeter) is fantastic. The pro bono opportunities are good. The above is all thanks to the hard working lawyers/lecturers. However during my studies, and in preparation for graduation, the administration of both the GDL and LPC was chaotic and unreliable. The university showed me no support or loyalty when I was unable to get a ticket to my LPC graduation. Complaints are unwelcomed. It does seem that profit is prioritised over experience.”
