Hiya,
I did the international foundation year course at the ISC but not for law so I can't completely answer these questions but you can speak to some of the previous law ISC students on here.
From what I remember though, there were a few group projects but mainly in AES and rarely did they go towards your progression mark, it was mainly formative group work or just general group work during classes. I took English lit and yeah its a bit of Shakespear, Chaucer, etc but its very easy and not too difficult to pass/get a high mark in. There aren't any internships built into the program or during the program if that's what you're asking but I have heard of a few students applying or doing internships after completing the foundation year. Still, that doesn't mean you can't, you just have to ask once you get there (although I would recommend focusing on the IFY as law has the highest progression mark requirement) 🙂
Hope this helps!

hey i did foundation law this yr
to answer ur questions:
-typical student tt: ~18hrs per week, online classes being 1hr (x2) and 2hrs f2f classes
-yes there's one group project but it's individually assessed (for engish lit), so dw if you have bad teammates
-do past papers / try different reading techniques. there's a mock exam on lnat but it's copied from the book in the library
-we did Shakespeare plays and sonnets for term 2 and novels for term 3, namely Wide Sargasso Sea and The Yellow Wallpaper etc. term 3 syllabus may change tho cuz they're thinking about it
-in sociology it's mainly data collection and i rmb it's sth about race and gender; quantitative and qualitative data...? u need to write a report on a certain social issue and the teacher gives 0 to no advice which is a bummer
-unfortunately we're broke af and we dont have internships. events maybe (we had a judge visit) but defo not internships
hope this helps

I heard it was very scarce… but the data is not backed up?!
