(Frequently figuratively asked questions) No, I have not been inundated with questions about the Accelerated Scots Law LLB since I started the course. But I wanted to write some answers to the questions I had when I was applying. What is an Accelerated LLB? The accelerated course is a two year law degree […]
Sometimes I study harder, occasionally I remember to bring a packed lunch to save money, and I’ve been known to go to the gym more. But what follows is an honest account of a typical week in the life of a law student. Monday 8.30: Get off the bus outside uni and […]
Practicum? Sorted! Signed up and started. Dissertation? Rejections from 4 supervisors so far. Still waiting on a response from my preferred supervisor. Ok well it’s technically week 2 on the timetable, but it’s week 1 of ‘normal’ lectures. Don’t worry about keeping up. I’m confused as hell! What is not as confusing is the lectures. […]
Practicum? Probably. Meeting on Thursday to discuss. Watch this space! Dissertation? Rejections from 3 supervisors so far. Waiting on response from 2 others. Trying not to panic So here we are – the first ‘proper’ week of being a Masters student. It was a bit of a chaotic start. I knew I would be in […]

Hey everyone! Long time no blog, as I have been in somewhat of a dissertation-induced hibernation (i.e. only leaving my laptop to go to work and then straight back home again). This dissertation has been my baby for the past year and now it has finally flown the nest! Yay! I have now completed the […]

MSc Sustainability is made up of five and a half students. The half being a part-timer. It’s a small size, but I can, in fact, tell you it is a big reason why I love this unique program. Almost all our courses are taken together and, perhaps because of that, we have developed lasting friendships. […]
On Monday evening my book history and publishing class took a trip to the University archives, located in the basement of Tower Building on campus. This was actually my first ever visit to the archives, although I know other subjects make much better use of the facilities offered there. I, for one, definitely wish I […]
