Overview:

The Foundation Year in Law is an excellent opportunity for learners who are outside the standard academic profile that might be expected for a law degree.

Whether you are a mature learner, have relevant work experience but no formal qualifications, or simply don’t have the UCAS points that are required for the standard LLB, this could be the course for you. The foundation aspect attached to the LLB means that you can achieve your academic aspirations of studying law even though you may not come from the traditional academic background.

The first year of the course is designed to provide a foundation of core knowledge of several areas of law, skills which are appropriate to the study of law and, how law applies to the world around you. You would then progress to the standard LLB Law Degree, which is the main qualifying law degree for progression into being a professional lawyer.

This course will be taught over three days per week to allow students to manage study around other work and family commitments.

Entry Requirements

Contextual offers

We may make you a lower offer based on a range of factors, including your background (where you live and the school or college that you attended for example), your experiences and individual circumstances (as a care leaver, for example). This is referred to as a contextual offer and we receive data from UCAS to support us in making these decisions. USW prides itself on its student experience and we support our students to achieve their goals and become a successful graduate. This approach helps us to support students who have the potential to succeed and who may have faced barriers that make it more difficult to access university. Here is a link to our Contextual Admissions Policy.

Other qualifications and experience

We can also consider combinations of qualifications and other qualifications not listed here may also be acceptable. We can sometimes consider credits achieved at other universities and your work/life experience through an assessment of prior learning. This may be for year one entry, or advanced entry to year two or three of a course where this is possible.

To find out which qualifications have tariff points, please refer to the UCAS tariff calculator.

Please note that whilst this course does not require a DBS Check for entry, some professions will not consider candidates who have certain types of criminal convictions.
