FYR - Law

FndCert International Foundation Year (Law)

Course Overview

A Foundation in Law course  is an ideal option for students who have an interest in Law but do not have sufficient points at Level 3 to commence a standard LLB degree, and so the course covers the basis for the analytical skills and subject knowledge required for a career in Law.

This course offers many flexible study options, meaning you can choose which style of learning suits your lifestyle better, whether that’s at weekends, evenings, or during the daytime. Unlike many other Law degrees, this course is taught in small group sizes, giving you the individual attention and support needed for success. Alongside the course, we are pleased to offer all of our students the chance to learn about RCL’s unique Personal, Leadership, and Growth programme called Thinking Into Character, which is designed to teach you how to manage and lead yourself effectively in order to be successful in all aspects of your personal and professional life.

Why study this course?

  • It will provide you with a stepping stone towards studying for a degree in Law.
  • Learn the knowledge and transferable skills needed to stand out to future employers.
  • Online learning provides additional flexibility with your studies
