Law LLB Masterclass Day: Moot Court 2023

We are pleased to announce we will be hosting Masterclass Days in July 2023.

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 an introduction to legal skills and a short debate, as well as provide an insight into the many different careers a law degree can lead to.

We can’t wait to welcome you to St Mary’s!
