After spending thousands of dollars on their tuition, accruing thousands more in student loans, the biggest concern for a graduate is to land a job as early as possible. But in this economy, not everyone is lucky enough to get hired immediately.
Now, there is good news for those who cannot land a job soon after graduation with a university in Guilford, England is offering to refund the 50 per cent of their tuition fee.
The University of Law (ULaw) announced earlier this month that students who don’t secure a job nine months after graduation will be given half of their tuition fees back.
Tuition fees for the LPC programme varies from £10,950 to £14,765, depending on the location of study.
The initiative, which is launched for its Legal Practice Course (LPC) starting this September, is based on the university’s 97% graduate employability rate and its strong links with major law firms across the country.
Addressing head-on key student concerns such as employability, graduate debt and value for money, the university says it is the first of its kind in the sector and is set to revolutionise the legal training industry.
Describing how today students want more than a degree, ULaw CEO David Johnston said they also want a clear return on their investment. “For law graduates, this means one thing: securing a training contract or a full time job upon graduation,” he added.
