welcome to ULaw Online

Is an online degree from the University of Law the same as an Undergraduate or Postgraduate degree, taught on campus?

When you study with ULaw Online you receive the same qualification as you do if you study with us at a physical campus. The learning outcomes are exactly the same, but you achieve them using different learning techniques and methodologies.

How flexible are your online degrees?

Our online programmes have been designed to be very flexible for the learner by using a clear learning structure. You will complete a unit of work within a specified time frame (usually 7 or 10 days), but when you complete that work within that time frame is up to you. Assessments are at fixed points and must be attended, but dates and times are given in advance so students can plan for these events.

Is your online learning platform easy to use?

ULaw Online uses the learning platform ELITE, utilising BlackBoard Ultra. This platform is very easy to use and has been built by the University’s own in-house media team to meet the learning requirements for the ULaw Online programmes.

If I chose to study online, can I still access your physical campuses?

ULaw Online campus students can access any of the University’s own campuses to use study space and the library facilities, as well as attend any events that are open to all students. At our partnership sites (Exeter, Liverpool, Reading, Sheffield) you do not have an automatic right to use the library facilities but you can apply to do so by contacting the student information team for the site you would like to use. They will be able to advise you on how you can apply to use the library facilities.

Will I be required to travel to the UK at any point, if I choose to study an online degree?

If you are studying with us online you do not need to travel to the UK at any point during your degree. All learning and assessments can be carried out in your own country. You may wish to travel to the UK for your graduation ceremony or attend a virtual event if travel to the UK is not possible.

How will I meet other students if I choose to study online?

There are many ways you can interact with your fellow students when you study online, the ‘Events tile’ on the MyULaw app is where you’ll find the most up to date information about online (and in-person) events.

Do I have access to a Students’ Union?

As a ULaw Online student you will automatically become a member of the Students’ Union (SU); your representative body whilst you’re here at ULaw. The SU represents your interests at all levels of the University and acts as a channel of communication in dealing with ULaw and other bodies. The SA also coordinates ULaw societies you can join and set up. Find out more by visiting our Students' Union website or contact the SU at [email protected]

What support services will I have access to?

Online students have access to all the same support services as our on campus students, including academic and administrative support, academic coachs, library and study skills assistance, our Employability and Careers Service (including pro-bono for law programmes), wellbeing and disability support and IT support. Find out more on our students page. Online students will also benefit from Learning Analytics, our inclusive learning structure and support with digital poverty. For more information about our Digital Hardship Fund, please email the Welfare Team at [email protected]

How do I apply for your online courses?

Students apply for Online programmes in exactly the same way they would apply for the course if they were studying at a physical campus. How you apply depends on the course you want to study – UG or PG, law or business. All application details are on the website or you can email [email protected].

If you are based outside England & Wales and / or are seeking to use your online course with us as a means of / contributing towards professional qualification outside England & Wales, before enrolling with the University you must check with your local bar association / legal profession training regulator whether it recognises a course delivered online and/or assessment online as satisfying its requirements.

What qualifications do I need?

All courses have different entry qualifications and you can see what you will need for each separate course on our international preparation courses page.

Do you have scholarships or bursaries for online courses?

We have a range of scholarship and bursaries available – all the information can be found on our scholarship and bursaries page. Please ensure you read all the conditions and eligibility criteria before applying to ensure you meet the requirements of the award.

Where can I find information on course fees and funding?

For undergraduate courses please see our undergraduate fees and funding page. For postgraduate courses please see our postgraduate fees and funding page.

I’ve made an enquiry online, what happens next?

One of our dedicated team will get back to you and answer any queries you have. You can also attend one of our many Online events to meet with both staff and students in the Online campus to find out more about what we offer and what life is like as an Online student.
