UK Law School Fair Weekend
Entry is free and welcome to anyone interested studying in the UK, whether you have already applied or are just interested in more information! Registration can be found at the bottom of the page.
UK LAW SCHOOL FAIR
During the event, you will have the opportunity to meet a number of UK Law Schools that have made the trip to Canada in order to speak to students in person. You will also be able to talk to our student advisors (who have studied in the UK themselves) about anything you have questions about. You can book a meeting with an advisor and you can go around to speak to the universities that are at the fair throughout the evening. When you arrive, you will have to "check in" at the information desk! After you have done that, you can walk around the room as you like and talk to universities, advisors and gather information throughout the evening.
1-2-1 ADVISING SESSION WITH AN ADVISOR
During the evening, you will have the opportunity to chat with one of our advisors. If you want an advising session (15 minutes where you can sit and talk one-on-one with an advisor about your application or questions), this must be booked in advance. When you register for the event, you will receive more information on how to book this.
Advising sessions are very popular and fill up very quickly, so sign up early! If you are unable to book an appointment with an advisor, let us know at events@canadalawfromabroad.com, we can put you on a waitlist or try to find an alternative option for you.
UNIVERSITIES IN ATTENDANCE
Almost all of our university partners will be present at the fair! You can see a complete list on the right of this page. To speak with a university, just go to their booth and feel free to ask them any questions you may have. Don’t be nervous about approaching them – they are very friendly and eager to get to know you! You may even end up having one of the representatives as a professor during your law degree!
TOP TIP: Think about any key questions or concerns you have before the event and write them down. You can bring your list with you to reference when you speak to each university and even take notes to reflect on when the fair is over!
If you don’t have any specific questions that come to mind, just ask them to tell you about their programme, what extracurricular activities are available, such as mooting or law societies, or what sets their university apart from other law schools. If you are trying to narrow down your choices between a few law schools, this is the perfect chance for you to speak with them each and to ask them about the most important factors to for you in choosing your law school.
This is a unique opportunity to talk to the universities at your leisure! It doesn’t have to be only about the law school in particular. Maybe you aren’t sure about living in university accommodation and want to hear about private options near campus. Maybe you are an athlete and want to ensure you’ll have the best chance of continuing with your activities during your studies. Maybe you want to really embrace being in the UK and are looking for a smaller city/university with a “quintessentially British” feel. Or maybe you are really looking forward to travelling during your studies and want to make sure you’ll have great access to travel links. The representatives from each university will be perfect to provide you with insight into all these things.
ALUMNI MIXER
We will also be having a social meet and greet the following evening. This will be an opportunity to interact casually with representatives from the law school, other students, and most importantly alumni who have completed their law studies in the UK already. It will be a great chance to hear a bit more about their experience during their time in the UK and while transferring back to Canada and seeking employment.
The Alumni Mixer will be held on the evening of 4th March 2023 in Downtown Toronto. The exact location will be provided to after you have registered below.
REGISTRATION
To come to the event(s), please use the form below to register your interest. This will notify us that you plan on coming and means we will be to notify you of any updates to the program and to send you a reminder closer to the fair. If you aren’t sure whether you’ll be able to attend or not, that’s okay you can either register now and then notify your advisor later on if you won’t be able to make it.
If you would like to schedule an advising session with an advisor during the fair, we recommend that you sign up early because these advising sessions fill up quickly! If you haven’t signed up and decide to attend last minute, or maybe one of your friends is interested in studying law as well and decides to join you, there will still be an opportunity to register at the door. If you have signed up in advance however, it will be faster for you to get in if there is a queue when you arrive.
You will be able to come and go as much as you like during the evening after you register. You can of course bring parents, siblings, friends or even your teacher along with you. Everyone who could benefit from studying in the UK is most welcome! So make the trip even if you just starting to consider studying in the UK in the future, this is not an event just for those who have applied or decided to apply, but for everyone who wants to learn more about what study opportunities exist in the UK.

Why Study at University of Dundee Law School
Join us to learn more about what University of Dundee Law School has to offer including their substantial scholarships for Canadian students.
The courses were really interesting
I found out about the University of Dundee through the University League Tables since they are consistently ranked in the top 10 for law each year. I decided to come here because I liked that the class sizes were a lot smaller than other universities for law which I find is a better learning environment for myself. I also liked the different courses on offer, such as the Telders module which allows you to compete in an international mooting competition.
How would you describe your time studying here?
I really enjoyed it. I met a lot of different people and got to experience the UK way of life which!
What were the best things about your course?
The best things about my course were probably the related extracurriculars such as mooting and the advocacy skills that I learnt. The courses were really interesting as well and I really got to know my professors.
What are the best things about the University of Dundee?
The best thing I would say is the size, its great since you don't feel like a number, which is how some other universities can make you feel if they are quite large.
What are the best things about the city of Dundee?
The city is great! Lots of things to do around the city center, nice restaurants and cocktail bars! It’s big enough that there are things to do but not so big as to provide a constant distraction from your studies.
What is your favourite memory about studying here?
I would probably say some of the mooting competitions with my two mooting partners for ESU and Inner Temple. It was a great way to explore the country while also bonding with my fellow law students!
What did you like the most about the facilities and activities available to you on campus, e.g. the sports facilities, the library, the Student's Association etc.?
I really love how each school has their own lounge. They're great for studying in but also great place to just catch up with people, have lunch etc! They're also good for when the library gets busy at exam time!
What work or further study have you been doing since graduation?
I am currently studying at the University of Law in Leeds and am taking the Barristers Practice Course LLM with the litigation program.
What has your University of Dundee degree given you, and how has studying here prepared you for life after graduation?
It's given me confidence in my advocacy skills which has helped prepare me for a career at the English & Welsh Bar.
