New ways to learn

The University of Law (ULaw) is to launch a four-year part-time undergraduate LLB law degree from September, allowing students to combine study with work. The course will combine weekday evening workshops with supported online learning and webinars at weekends. The University’s president, Professor Nigel Savage, says students will be immersed in “real-life business scenarios from day one”. Meanwhile, the City Law School has launched its first distance learning programme—the LLM in International Business Law. The programme can be completed without taking a a break from work and is designed to meet the needs of business professionals and lawyers looking to “set themselves apart in an increasingly competitive market”.
