Law Summer School Testimonials
This summer experience was truly amazing! It was a real eye-opener on many levels for me and doing the Law course made me realise that I really wanted to study this subject at university.
Oxford Scholastica’s Online Law Course was honestly one of the best experiences of my life. My tutor was incredible and has given me all the contacts and tools I could need to create an outstanding application to university.
Everything was very well organised. All my questions were answered in detail. I highly recommend this programme, if you are interested in Law or want to study it!
