Course summary

This course introduces key legal ideas and thinking while helping you build academic skills, confidence and clarity. You’ll explore law in context and develop the skills needed to succeed in degree level study and future legal pathways.

You’ll engage with real legal themes, from criminal justice to professional practice, through practical activities and reflection. Learning is shaped around discussion, applied tasks and teamwork, helping you think critically, communicate effectively and strengthen your understanding of law. This Foundation prepares you for the LLB and future legal opportunities with curiosity and purpose.

Universities and colleges consider more than grades when assessing applications and may make offers based on a range of criteria. Learn more about 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.
