Thank you for sharing your experience
Thanks for the terrific content - really excellent.
Apart from Elite were there any useful books/ resources for the SBA multi-choice ?
Fantastic channel !! 🤗
Really useful vid!
Thank you!
Whoever that gets you as their lawyer will be lucky. Don't get me wrong, you are cute but you literally managed to keep someone's attention with ADHD. You are both fun to listen to and watch.
Thank you for the information, I have been considering law seriously as of late, I still love medicine but it feels like I was born to be a Barrister.
Incredible content 👏 👌. Tge ULaw offers another such course - MA law with SQE1- is that course also a law conversion course (PgDL) ? Does the student have to pass SQE1 with SRA as well in order to pass that MA law with SQE1? Thanks
Hi, I am thinking to do Bar Practice Course in ULaw Newcastle. Would you recommend ULaw Newcastle in terms of its teaching quality and management?
Thank you! How many days per week I must be on campus in a face-to-face format if I intend to visit all workshops? Are lectures available in online live mode?
Hi, I’m set to start pgdl this September. Can you share any introductory reading material that can help me prepare going into this course. Would really appreciate it!
Also where did you find the SBAQ questions? ❤
Hi ❤ how did you prepare for contract and tort?
I applied for my master I got admitted to study ;Leadership and HRM for my Masters degree. Please what do you have to say about it ?
Sorry I don't know anything about those subjects!
did you commute to campus, or did you live in student accommodation on-campus or nearby?💗
Very useful video . Thanks for sharing .
I’m 38 would like to study PGDL , been doing lots of research about it .
Can you please suggest me a reading material before I start ? Book or Elink etc .
Age really Matters to study PGDL?
Age definitely doesn't matter when it comes to the law conversion - in fact almost everyone studying it is a different age because some people go straight from uni to studying it, while others have a career in another sector before converting to law!
you don't need to do much wider reading beforehand because the course provider will set preparatory work for the course. The only book I read beforehand was a study/revision guide on the English Legal system to give me a better understanding of how the law operates in the UK ('English Legal System' 8th Ed. by Emily Finch and Stefan Fafinski) but even that isn't strictly necessary
I’m currently doing the pgdl and not feeling great about exams after Christmas 😢
try not to stress too much, just be as consistent as possible with the work/revision and I'm sure you'll get there 😁
@@GeorgieEllen10thank you! Do you have any advice on how to tackle revision? X
I want to apply for GDL . I am law graduate from pakistam. Whats the criteria for application how we can get the academic certificate by BSB. Which is the best university for GDL.please guide me. Thankyou
The entry requirement for the PGDL at the University of Law is a 2.2 or equivalent in a previous undergraduate degree but might be higher at other universities. It's difficult to say which course is best since it really comes down to where/how you want to study. As I said in the video some courses cost a lot more than others and living costs can vary a lot from city to city so that's something to consider.
In terms of qualifying as a barrister, I'm planning on taking the solicitor route so I don't know much about it - most university websites have more information specifically for international students that should be helpful. I think UK students take an LLB/GDL then the bar practice course and a pupilage to qualify as a barrister? Please check all of this yourself though - the BSB website has some good information too
Ulaw gave me an offer for PGDL for online program Jan 2024. Now I am worrying that will the online program understand the legel term well?
I wouldn't worry too much, the classes and resources are exactly the same regardless of the in person or online programme, it might just be more difficult to connect with your peers online but it comes down to personal preference whether you find online or in person study better
@@GeorgieEllen10 Oh really, thank you so much for clearing my point.
Can I ask how you are getting on with the PGDL online programme please?
Thank you and ULAW gave me an offer of PgDL HK Online Program for the 2024 January.
good luck!
Do you receive an offer for scholarship?
not sure if you were replying to me or the commenter but I am a UK student so I was eligible for a student loan for the MA course! I got a small postgraduate bursary from ULaw for studying at the Newcastle campus but otherwise I had to self fund my living costs
Hong Kong Campus Offer an early bird discount and Hong Kong Campus award for students who do in Hong Kong Campus. So I have in total of 15% discount so I think it is pretty much big discount for that. @@GeorgieEllen10
If you don't mind choosing the Hong Kong campus, both online and offline they offer about 15% HK Campus Award + Early Bird Allowance. That is why I choose online course.@@subhasham206
What's the difference between PGDL and MA Law?
The PGDL is two terms long (September-May) and covers the core legal modules you need to pass in order to move onto the bar practice course (BPC) or the solicitors qualifying examination (SQE). The MA Law course is 12 months long (September-September). In that course you sit the same core modules AND write a dissertation.
What if I just want to get a law degree, instead of being a lawyer@@GeorgieEllen10
I don't know how the teacher teaches in online study.
ZOMG!! Wny so cute?
