Graduate Diploma in Law Course Open Afternoon

Wednesday 11 March 2015 from 2.00 pm to 4.00 pm

Did you know that if you have a degree in a subject other than Law, you can take a conversion course called the Graduate Diploma in Law (GDL)? Once you have passed that you will be able to go on to take the Legal Practice Course (if you want to become a solicitor) or the Bar Professional Training Course (if you want to become a barrister).

De Montfort University are holding an Open Afternoon for current De Montfort University (DMU) students who are interested in taking the GDL, either through full-time or part-time study, to enable you to find out more about the course offered, the careers provision and pro bono opportunities available.

The event will be held in the Hugh Aston Building and will start with registration in the main reception area from 2.00 pm – 2.15 p.m. Hugh Aston is No.18 on the Campus Map

The event will include a presentation at 2.15 pm about the GDL and Careers and Finance (including a Question and Answer session).   This will be followed by drinks and the opportunity to talk to members of staff who teach on the GDL who will be available to answer any individual questions you may have.

Please download an Open Day Acceptance Form. If you are intending to attend this Open Afternoon could you please complete and return this form to the main reception in the Hugh Aston Building by no later than Friday 6 March. If you would prefer to respond via e-mail, details of how to do that are included on the Acceptance Form.

The Writer – two-day workshop

Word Experience is back and we’re ready for your applications.
Here are some details about how you can get involved.

Hello, we’re The Writer (thewriter.com), the world’s largest language consultancy.

The world’s best (and most humble) language consultancy is running a two-day workshop on 26th and 27th March 2015. We’re looking for 20 undergraduates who love writing to come and get inspired to write for a living. And if you’re really good, we might ask you to be one of our two paid apprentices.

We’ll show you how you can make a career out of writing for business. There’ll be plenty of writing exercises, linguistic brainstorms and home-made pecha kuchas* to get your teeth into.

(*Google has the answer.)

Keep reading if:

You already write for your course

Maybe you study English, journalism or creative writing. Or maybe you just write a lot of essays.

You write in your spare time too

You might write for your student paper, a blog, or fiction. It doesn’t matter as long as you write.

You’re a bit of a word geek

You have a tendency to get excited or properly riled up by all kinds of writing. From tube ads to tubes of toothpaste, Booker Prize winners to Charlie Brooker.

Yes that’s me. What do I need to do?

Send us 300 words telling us why we should pick you (and a way for us to get in touch with you) to pickme@thewriter.com. Make sure ‘Word Experience’ and your name are in your subject line. And get it to us by 1st March 2015.
