DistanceLearningCentre Access Course for Law

Hello,

I'm looking to start an access course with the hopes of studying an LLB afterwards. I would like to start a.s.a.p. but I have missed most colleges, so now looking at DLC. Has anyone had any experiences with them? I am aiming for all 45 distinctions and applying to mostly middling RG unis (Exeter, Sheff, Birmingham, etc).

Why do you have to start now? It doesn't matter either way because you have missed the UCAS deadline and will have to apply in the next round any way.

I have no experience with them but I am (currently) finishing off my online Access course (mine is in Social Sciences & Humanities) with Highbury College online, and because they are an actual registered school with a physical location, when you do an online Access course with them you can get a government loan which you don't have to pay back if you go to university - unlike all other online Access providers, where you have to pay yourself. I would recommend them and waiting until September. They don't offer an Access Course specifically for Law, but you don't need a Law Access to HE course to get into a law school.

I currently have offers for Law at Durham, Bristol and Exeter, with others pending. So you can definitely get into top law schools with an Access course - and you don't need 45 distinctions, either. All my offers have been for 30 distinctions and 15 merits. I believe only Cambridge (unsure about Oxford and their policies on Access courses) ask for 45/45 distinctions.
