A level Law student Ammar Saeed went to the University of Birmingham with his classmates recently for a masterclass and wrote about his experiences.
The law masterclass at the University of Birmingham was a truly great experience; it gave a real insight into what studying law at a top University like Birmingham was really like, and it answered a lot of questions and doubts I had regarding the course.
Topics covered during the masterclass included the death penalty, case reading and identifying crime, training to be a solicitor/barrister, ‘men’s rea’ and ‘actus reus’ in criminal law. LNATS/LLB/LLB 2nd /3rd year courses and the requirements and topics covered were also explained.
As this masterclass was given by successful law students at the university itself, you were really given a feel for what it’s like from the student’s perspective.
A challenging and competitive course it may be, but I concluded that you get much more out of studying law than you put in, and after all a career in law or even a degree is highly respected by anyone. Nothing is impossible if you put your mind to it.
