Do you want to boost your career or qualify as a solicitor or barrister? Then check out the Part-time law degree programme at the University of Buckingham!

It’s a four year programme that mixes distance learning with Wednesday evening seminars, and is ideal for those who want to work and study. It leads to the award of a qualifying law degree and is very popular with residents of Milton Keynes, its surrounding areas and beyond.

Pauline Purcell, of Purcell Solicitors in Milton Keynes, is a graduate of the programme.

The programme welcomes students of all backgrounds and ages, whatever their educational qualifications. Determination and work experience are highly valued for admission.
