An introduction

I'm a Law student and I'm studying with the Open University.

This blog has been created to help share the experience and, hopefully, answer some questions along the way. At the moment I'm in the final stages of Level 2 of my Bachelor of Laws degree and it seemed a good moment to start this blog.

This isn't the first time I've studied at university but my previous experiences were at physical attendance "bricks & mortar" institutions many years ago. Distance learning is a very different experience and some posts will cover how Open University studying is done these days.

I'll also try to explain some of the terminology as we go, whether it's what "Level 2" actually means or explaining just what the "Foundations of Legal Knowledge" actually refers to. Or what the routes are for becoming a barrister or a solicitor and how they affect education.

Both Open University studying and studying law are different from my previous studies and I'll try to cover how so. And I'll have a look at one or two media portrayals that seem to be behind a lot of questions that get raised.

So come aboard for the ride.
