Course Overview

Advance Your Legal Expertise

This Level 5 Extended Diploma in Law is equivalent to the second year of a university degree and provides a pathway to enter a UK 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 5 Extended Diploma in Law (RQF) features a broad curriculum covering key areas like how equity interrelates with other legal topics, the European Union legal system, legal and equitable interests, and the Law of Tort. Combined with the ATHE Level 4 Extended Diploma in Law, you can 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 to help cover the cost of the course. London School of Business & 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).

FAQ

It is a 120-credit qualification equivalent to the second year of a UK bachelor's degree (HND level). It provides specialized knowledge in core legal areas and serves as a direct pathway to a university 'top-up' degree.

The diploma consists of four mandatory units, each carrying 30 credits: Equity and Trusts, EU Law, Land Law, and Law of Tort.

The main outcomes are to equip you with a broad range of legal knowledge and skills, provide opportunities for you to progress directly into the third year of a bachelor's degree (a 'top-up' degree) in Law, and offer underpinning knowledge for those aspiring to take the Solicitors Qualifying Examination (SQE).

While specific entry requirements may vary by Versa Institute, generally, you would be expected to have completed the ATHE Level 4 Diploma in Law or an equivalent international qualification, such as a high school diploma or Level 4 certificate.

The overall qualification is graded as Pass, Merit, or Distinction. The final grade is calculated based on the total points achieved across the four mandatory units (120 credits total), with Distinction being the highest grade.

The qualification has 480 Guided Learning Hours (GLH) in total (120 GLH per unit). The duration depends on whether you study full-time or part-time, but it is typically designed to be completed in one academic year.

Graduates are eligible to apply for direct entry into the final year ('top-up' degree) of a related Law bachelor's program at many UK and international universities that recognize the ATHE qualification.
