Anyone else in Scotland planning to do the OU LL.B?

Hi David,
I live in Scotland and at age 58, have just participated in (hopefully) my last exam in order to achieve LLB (hons).
After 5 (where did they go) years with the O.U. I have found studying law both challenging and rewarding. I was unable to attend face to face tutorials due to ill health, however, along with O.U. course specific forums, O.U.S.A. provides forums which afford continuous contact with fellow students if desired.
Tutor support, in my experience, has been good and available throughout.
One important point to consider, qualification is not recognised by the Law Society in Scotland.
Good luck if you decide to go ahead.
Kind Regards,
Chris

Hi Chris, and thanks for the response. I'm inspired to read that you're older than me, and that you still did it. Bloody excellent! I'm 44 and must confess to feeling a bit depressed not to have done this before.
I already have a degree, and so have enrolled for W200 and W201, starting this coming February. If all goes well, two years from now, I'll have a law degree.
Thanks again.

Hi, Barry. You're 'away'? So you're moving to England? Or you're staying and doing W150? I enrolled for that, then cancelled it as I wanted to do W200 and W201.
Anyway, best of luck with it. Exciting, innit??

Hi David. I'm in Scotland too and have just started Y166 and going onto W100 in January (all being well). It wasn't until I started this that I realised the course is aimed at English/Welsh Law and this degree is not recognised in Scotland. What you can do is a 1 year course at the end of this in Scottish law if you decide you want to practice here. I have also been informed that some businesses will employ you for their English divisions but you can be based in Scotland.
