Could you discuss the difference between non-statutory/voluntary and statutory placements? How are non stat placements still valuable? Did you have contrasting placements as a student? Thanks :)
Hi yes I can do this. I had one statutory and one non-statutory and found both highly valuable !! Thanks 👍
How many essays are there each year? Thank you ❤
Hi I actually can't remember and I wonder if every university is different. Maybe someone else can answer this?
