LIAM BARRETT BACHELOR OF LAWS

Student Liam Barrett (Bachelor of Laws) returned to education to pursue his passion for law. In 2019, he was awarded The Oxford University Press Law prize for being an outstanding student. We caught up with him to find out about his journey.

HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR TIME AT UNIVERSITY CENTRE LEEDS? My time so far has been a journey of growth, both academically and personally. When I first arrived, I had been out of education for a few years and was worried about re-entering an academic environment. These worries were soon alleviated, as I was welcomed by UC Leeds and received all the support I needed to smoothly get back into the swing of education.

WHAT MADE YOU CHOOSE UNIVERSITY CENTRE LEEDS? After working in finance after school for a few years, UC Leeds offered me the chance to return to education and study law. The first course that I completed was an Access to Higher Education qualification, allowing me to move on to degree studies. After completing the Access course, I had the opportunity to go to numerous universities across the country. Despite this, I stayed at UC Leeds as I knew this was the best environment to develop me academically; class groups are more intimate and the tutors know you well. Furthermore, it’s diverse and exciting, everyone has a completely different past, students and teachers are of all ages and backgrounds; it is a true reflection of the modern world

WHAT WOULD YOU SAY TO SOMEONE WHO IS THINKING ABOUT RETURNING TO EDUCATION? To anyone considering a return to education, a new career, a different experience to traditional universities or just entering the next stage of their education, I would strongly advise that you consider studying at UC Leeds. This institution aims to not only deliver a good qualification, but help you to grow personally, support you in your times of need, encourage diverse friendships and open your eyes to the fact that you have something special to offer the world.
