The online version of this programme offers the same content as the on campus version, while still offering you the same high level of professional tutor support.

Apart from traditional modules, this programme offers a two-week long induction to the programme that discusses the Key Principles of the English Legal System.

In preparation to the concluding element of this programme, which is the dissertation, you will study a range of compulsory and further optional Research Methods Training sessions in your first three terms. The dissertation is undertaken in either Term 3 (full-time) or Terms 5 and 6 (part-time).
