Hi there,

I hope you’re all well. I am a Masters student progressing onto a sponsored PGDL. There is nothing on my TC offer letter that mentions a requirement for my current postgrad study (and I’ve met undergrad requirements before application), so I was wondering whether I need to write to my law firm updating them on my award/progression status when I get the relevant documents? Or is this something that they will request if need be, whether soon or later during background checks?

Thank you in advance!

If it is a masters course, it isn’t a requirement for the role and therefore doesn’t require you to update them.
