Structure

In order to obtain a Qualifying Law Degree you need to complete your programme within six years.

To be awarded an Honours Degree in Law, you will have to complete a total of 18 modules, with a value of 360 credits. This will comprise 120 credits at Level 1, 120 at Level 2 and 120 at Level 3. All modules in Levels 1 and 2 are compulsory. In Level 3 you have the opportunity to choose the equivalent of six modules from a list of options

It is also possible to study Law as part of a Combined Honours Degree, either as a Major/Minor or a Joint Honours. For a Law Major you must study 4 compulsory Law modules at each level. Subject to regulatory requirements, this degree will still be classed as a Qualifying Law Degree.

For a Law Minor you must study two core modules at Levels 1 and 2 and two modules from a choice of three at Level 3.

A Joint Honours means you can study two disciplines in equal measure. There are three compulsory Law modules at Levels 1 and 2. You may choose the equivalent of three from a list of options at Level 3.

Neither the Joint Law degree nor the Law Minor leads to a Qualifying Law Degree.

Career

This degree provides a foundation for a wide range of careers. Students may go on to train as solicitors or barristers or they may go on to postgraduate study. Law also develops key transferable skills that provide an excellent basis for employment in areas unrelated to law, for example, Local Government, Charities, Non-Governmental Institutions, the private sector, Police and Prison Service, etc.

Support

On enrolment, you will be provided with an induction pack containing all the information you need to prepare you for your studies.

ICS has a team of dedicated mentors to help you with general needs and respond to your queries in respect of any administrative issues. You can contact your mentor via phone, e-mail, post and fax – and you are guaranteed a timely response. Your mentor will also contact you at regular intervals – initially to welcome you and agree a study plan, and then to talk to you about your progress and remind you of important deadlines.

In addition, you will be allocated a subject tutor for each module you study.

You can contact your subject tutor via your mentor, or directly via the ICS Online Student Community.

In addition, the ICS Online Student Community provides opportunities for you to contact other students.

Admission

Entry to Level 1 or the Full Programme

To enrol on the first Level or the Full Programme you must normally hold 200 UCAS Tariff Points or equivalent.

Entry on a Modular Basis

If you do not hold the required tariff points for Level 1 or Full Programme entry, studies will be permitted on a modular basis, following a counselling interview with a programme advisor. If you are concerned that this level of study may not be suitable for you, we will provide an online basic skills exercise with feedback to assist you to make a decision.
