A university piloting a new two-year fast-track law degree said today that the course was heavily oversubscribed, with three students chasing each available place.
The course at Staffordshire University, which had 20 places on offer, attracted traditional A-level school-leavers, but also proved popular with mature students seeking a career change, according to Miceal Barden, the university's director of student recruitment for business and law.
He told EducationGuardian.co.uk today: "We interviewed all the applicants to determine whether they realised the intensive study involved and for some of them we suggested they took the three-year route instead.
"It has attracted a range of students, not just those school leavers who have completed their A-levels, but mature students who are career changing who are prepared to take two years out of work to study, but not three."

| Given the costs associated with studying these days, I'm not surprised that students want to be fasttracked so as they can quickly start earning. |
