This course provides non-law graduates with an academically rigorous programme of study in the foundation law subjects.
It is validated by the Joint Academic Stage Board (JASB) and is recognised by both the Law Society and the Bar as satisfying the academic stage of training and is ideal if you are aiming to qualify as a solicitor or barrister. The course will be equally attractive if you are a non-law graduate seeking a qualification to progress in other careers such as medicine, management and business.
The course will begin with a five-day face-to-face introductory programme. You will then study seven foundation law subjects as follows:
In addition you must complete a self-managed research project of 3,000-4,000 words.
The course is delivered via the Internet and you can download materials and submit tutorials online for individual marking and feedback. We will encourage you to interact with other students and your tutors through e-mail discussion groups when completing tutorials. You will also have the option of attending face-to-face tutorials on Wednesday afternoons instead of written submission. In addition to the compulsory introductory programme at the beginning of the course there will also be three optional revision weekends.
Subjects are assessed by one piece of coursework accounting for 25 per cent of the marks to be completed during the academic year and an examination accounting for the remaining 75 per cent at the end of the year in June.
You may gain exemptions from a minimum of four subjects including the research project provided you take and pass them within a law degree course. Intending solicitors should address their application for exemptions to the Law Society. If you intend to become a barrister then please apply to the General Council of the Bar.
You can also request a printed prospectus by filling in our web form, and have it delivered to your address.
