Nottingham Law School, a part of Nottingham Trent University, and New College, Nottingham, have together just made legal education history by becoming the first educational institutions, jointly, to be validated by the Joint Academic Stage Board (JASB) of the Bar and the Law Society to run in partnership an ‘articulated foundation degree’.
While many other foundation degrees (FdAs) in law exist, this is the first of its type to be recognised by the JASB where law subjects studied at a college of further education can count towards subsequently obtaining a qualifying law degree at a university. Students who successfully complete the FdA in Law at New College, Nottingham, will be automatically entitled to join the second year of the Nottingham Law School LLB degree and be given full credit for the subjects that they studied at New College.
