The University of Law (ULaw) has laid down the gauntlet to rival education establishments by offering students a guarantee of graduate employment within nine months or 50% of tuition fees back. The fees vary from £10,950 to £14,765. David Johnston, CEO of ULaw, says: “Today’s students want a clear return on their investment. For law graduates, this means one thing: securing a training contract or a full-time job upon graduation... If you enrol on any of our programmes, from day one you’ll get access to our comprehensive career and employability support structures.”
