Higher Education Law Update: University of Leicester sensibly overturns historic policy to benefit former students
10 May 2017 by Christopher McFarland
Following our recent success at the High Court in the case of R (AC) v The OIA the University of Leicester Medical School has now over turned it's historic policy which prevented former medical students who had voluntarily withdrawn from their course "for whatever reason" from being permitted to return to their studies.
Its new policy will now permit those students to apply for readmission through normal UCAS procedures.
Education Solicitor Chris Mcfarland said "We are delighted with this news which will not only assist the student in this case but scores of other students".
