Law courses that don't require a levels?

Hi everyone,
I'm an 18 year old, who messed up at college due to poorly run courses and was unwell for a long period of my time at college so couldn't attend and it resulted in me dropping out! Does anyone know if there is any way I would still be able to get to uni? A foundation course maybe? I was looking to do a course in law but seeing as I don't have the a levels, I haven't had any luck anywhere as of yet! If anyone has any suggestions it would be much appreciated!
Thanks :smile:

Aside from A Levels/Btec you can't do a law degree with any other course i.e access course however if you want to go into the legal field then a more vocational route might be better for you - take a look at CILEX

I'm confused, are you saying that you can't do a law degree with an access course? Because you actually can? Many people do this.

It's okay! I think despite their age, access courses can still be a little bit mysterious in terms of what they can unlock academically. :smile:

Never trust any 'advice' given on TSR, half the people have no idea what they're talking about.

A quick google came up with this https://www.bradfordcollege.ac.uk/courses/further/accesstohelaw-many which just shows that you can go on to do a law degree after an Access course. Good luck!

IB and Pre-U, and as has been mentioned Access, all are suitable qualifications with which to apply for law.

no need to be rude - I studied law at A-Level and we learnt about the different routes into law which didn't include access courses so I wasn't aware that you could take that route.

I'm sorry that your A-level teaching was wrong. You did come on here and provide a seemingly definitive answer which was untrue and didn't help the OP. All I did was highlight the fact that a lot of the 'advice' on TSR cannot be relied upon.
