Course overview

Law with foundation year is designed as a preparatory year to enable you to acquire the necessary knowledge and skills you need to progress to the first year of Bachelor of Laws (LLB) course. The foundation year will prepare you for the demands of Level 4 study by introducing them to a number of core legal subjects.
