Course summary

The Certificate in Higher Education in Law is a 1 year, full-time, or 2 year, part-time programme studied online. It provides an opportunity for students who wish to experience studying law without committing to a full degree programme. Students will study six subjects at Level 4. Successful completion of the Cert HE would enable students to apply for the University's LLB and, subject to meeting relevant requirements such as time limits, obtain recognition of prior learning for the modules studied and therefore join the LLB in Year 2.

If students have set their sights on other careers, such as politics, business or journalism, the transferable skills they will learn on this law program will provide an excellent launch pad for these ambitions and more. With this professionally focused qualification, applicants can expect to learn practical skills coupled with a focus on their future employability.
