One thing you can do is go on the Open University. They offer so many intermediate and advanced courses for free 🙂

Hi!

SOAS is hosting a Law Masterclass in March that could be a great addition to your personal statement. The session will introduce the key legal concepts and structures that enable us to understand the ways that law is conceived and practised in Asia and Africa today. Led by SOAS academics, the interactive session will allow participants to experience university-level discussions while building their critical thinking, public speaking and analytical skills.

You can read more about the opportunity here: SOAS Law Masterclass

I hope this helps!
