GUC defends franchise LLB programme

GUC has convened a press conference to reassure stakeholders following the High Court judgment delivered on April 15, 2026, dismissing the admission petition of one of its Leeds Beckett University LLB graduates. The ruling has triggered intense public debate about the future of hundreds of self-sponsored and government-supported students who completed the franchised programme and passed the bar examinations.

Dr Chiparo Upenyu, Director of Academics at GUC, outlined the programme’s credentials and insisted the qualification remains fully compliant with national standards.
