Course summary
The Certificate in Higher Education in Law is a 1 year, full-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.
Modules
All modules are at Level 4 and are worth 20 credits. All modules are compulsory. The modules are: • Common Law Method & Ethics • Academic & Digital Skills • Contract Law • The Law of Tort • Public Law • Criminal Law
Assessment method
A range of assessment methods will be used; examination, coursework, and oral presentation. This range of assessment methods reflects the practical nature of the programme and aligns the assessment with the learning outcomes of the programme. A mock assessment will be included for each module.
