Law LLB Masterclass Day: Moot Court

St Mary’s University, Twickenham is pleased to announce it will be hosting Masterclass Days in May and June 2022.

These days are perfect for anyone interested in going to university or specifically St Mary’s. They are tailored for Year 12, Year 13 and Level 3 learners. Each event will feature two academic taster sessions delivered by experts in the field before a campus tour with our friendly Student Ambassadors.

The Law LLB Masterclass is designed to provide prospective Law students with moot debating skills and techniques, as well as provide an insight to the different career pathways a Law degree can take you into. This event is appropriate for year 12 students looking for experience to add to their personal statements, and year 13s who have already applied to university.
