Become a Legal Professional

This Level 4 Extended Diploma in Law is equivalent to the first year of a university degree and offers a pathway to enter a UK or international university. It opens the door to pursuing a legal career and formalising your education with a widely-recognised certification. This Ofqual-regulated qualification allows you to explore various areas of law essential for success in the legal profession. Ofqual is England’s main government-appointed regulatory body, regulating school and college qualifications, and vocational and technical qualifications.

This Level 4 Extended Diploma in Law (RQF) features a broad curriculum that covers key areas like contract law in commercial, consumer, and social contexts, legal methods, criminal law, and public law. When the Level 4 Extended Diploma is combined with the ATHE Level 5 Extended Diploma in Law, it enables you to progress onto an LLB top-up degree programme (the final year of university). Some universities that accept this ATHE progression route include the University of Westminster, Arden University, University of Bolton, and the University of Bedfordshire.

ATHE is one of the leading awarding organisations in the United Kingdom. If you reside in the UK and meet the eligibility criteria, you can apply for an advanced learner loan. London School of Business and Law offers this course through flexible online learning, with up to 365 days of access to complete the course at your own pace.

(RQF qualifications carry meaning and recognition. They are regulated by Ofqual, the Office of Qualifications and Examinations Regulation that regulates qualifications, examinations, and assessments in England).
