Open Course Overview

This programme has been designed for those people already working in the legal and related sectors who wish to upskill and enhance their knowledge in order to progress in their careers.

It will also appeal to employees and people in non legal roles looking to pursue a career in a paralegal role without necessarily wishing to qualify as a solicitor or barrister. It will provide such people with the underpinning legal knowledge and skills, combined with work based learning opportunities to develop the competence and professionalism to work in a variety of different legal contexts.

Open Entry requirements

Candidates should normally have academic qualifications totalling 48 UCAS points, with the majority in relevant subjects.

Applicants can also enter with a relevant Level 3 Vocational Award.

GCSE English, or equivalent, is normally a requirement.

Applicants without formal entry qualifications but with relevant work experience will be considered for entry to the programme subject to an interview and appropriate diagnostic tests.

DBS: A satisfactory DBS is not a condition for entry onto the programme but may well be required by placement employers. Having an unsatisfactory DBS is likely to limit employment opportunities post-qualification and applicants with criminal convictions are advised to take advice from the programme leader before entering the programme.

Entry Requirements
Open Assessment methods

The online application and enrolment process is really simple, once you have clicked the “APPLY" or "ENROL” button you will be redirected to the portal where you either log in or create an account (if you haven’t done so previously). We will then ask you to give us a couple of bits of information like address, mobile phone number ect and that’s it.
Once your applications has been made the next step will be for you to book yourself onto one of our interview evenings, depending on availability you might be able to do this straight away but otherwise we will get in contact to arrange when you come in for an interview.
At any point you can log back into the portal throughout the year, update information like your predicted GCSE grades, update contact and consent information and keep a live track of your application.
If you have any questions or run into any problems when using the portal please get in contact with us and we will help
