UNIQ and Freshfields ExpLaw Summer School

UNIQ is a university-wide free residential summer school, organised via faculties with students staying in one of 14 supporting colleges. The Freshfields ExpLaw Summer School is for those students who just miss out on a place on UNIQ.

UNIQ Summer School

Students attend lectures and talks at the faculty over a period of four days, with a typical day usually being 9am-4.30pm. This year students participated in a mock court hearing, tried their hand at commercial negotiation and took part in a tutorial with one of our graduate students. They also had lectures on topics such as criminal law and Brexit. There is also much more do to outside the faculty, with sessions on interviews, personal statements and student finance available.
