Students seeking to practice law will benefit from two new courses being provided at the University of Reading following a new collaboration with the University of Law.

The new graduate courses which will be offered at Reading’s London Road campus are designed to prepare students for practical work in Law.

With law graduates in high demand we look forward to the opportunities that collaboration with the University of Law will bring, and to continuing to develop a strong professional and academic Law offer here at the University of Reading”.
