Simon Fraser University and the University of Exeter have partnered to create a new international fast track to a career in law. The SFU-Exeter Accelerated Law Program will allow students to graduate in six years with a BA from SFU and an LLB from the University of Exeter, in addition to a certificate in Foundations of Canadian Law. As part of this partnership, students will pay a reduced tuition at Exeter and will not be required to take the Law School Admissions Test or compete for entry. Students will also be given a guaranteed spot in Exeter’s student housing. SFU Dean Laurel Weldon said that this is the first such program in British Columbia, and that students will save at least one year under the accelerated program when compared to a traditional law program.
