About our LLB Law (Top up) Online course

Our LLB Law (Top up) Online course at The University of Law develops the advanced academic and professional skills required to operate confidently within today’s evolving legal landscape. Through a focused selection of Level 6 modules, students deepen their ability to interpret and apply legal principles across advanced areas of law. In the second term, those who have not yet completed all required foundation subjects for progression to the Bar can choose options such as Land Law, EU Law and Equity and Trusts to meet the academic stage requirements set by the BSB (Bar Standards Board).

A distinctive feature of the programme is the bespoke ‘Law at ULaw’ module, designed to support your transition from Level 5 to honours-level study. It helps you adapt to the expectations of Level 6, strengthening your legal research, analytical reasoning and academic writing skills, while building confidence in applying the law independently.

With a clear focus on career progression, this programme blends legal study with opportunities to strengthen the practical competencies valued by employers. It is suited to those preparing for postgraduate legal training, completing the academic stage of legal education, or seeking broader career opportunities across the legal and commercial sectors.
