My experience with the University of Law was extremely disappointing due to serious administrative mishandling and lack of transparency.My CAS was initially refused without any clear reason. Despite multiple follow-ups, I did not receive a proper explanation for almost a month. When a reason was eventually provided, I submitted clear documentary evidence to show that the allegation was incorrect, yet my explanation was repeatedly dismissed and the University remained fixed on its position.After further delays and extensive correspondence, the University later confirmed in writing that the information it had relied upon was incorrect. Unfortunately, by that time the CAS deadline had passed.I was then deferred to the April intake; however, a CAS was again not issued, which ultimately left me with no option but to request a refund. As a result, I suffered significant financial loss, considerable waste of time, and a great deal of stress — all due to circumstances entirely beyond my control.I had paid £8,000 in fees and maintained the required bank funds for several months. The prolonged delays, poor communication, and late correction of errors caused unnecessary hardship. I would strongly advise prospective international students to exercise caution and ensure there is clear accountability and timely communication before committing financially.
