Having left school with hardly any qualifications, a career in law seemed like an impossible feat for Amy. But an Access to Higher Education course changed everything and now she’s firmly on route to achieve this with a place at The University of Law.

Access to HE: Law

“From the very beginning I knew coming to Walsall College would be the best academic decision I would make. As a single mother I could fit the course around my home life and the support I received from the tutors was fantastic.

“My grades exceeded the minimum marks I needed to secure my place at university and study criminal law.

“It’s unreal that with just one year at college how much I have turned my life around, and with a few more years of hard work at university, I be will a qualified barrister.

“I found the course difficult at times, but I stayed focussed and have come away with amazing friends."
