Student Profile
Holly Dyce
I found the DPLP at RGU to be a very thorough and practical course, which prepared me for the transition from University to beginning a career as a Trainee Solicitor. The smaller tutorial groups allowed for interactive learning and the opportunity to have one-to-one teaching, which was invaluable at such an important stage in my legal career.
