Part time law online

2

I’m looking to study law part time, in the north east (not Teeside, it’s too far south). I’m finding that my only option is online. However I feel that if I study online that I’ll not be as committed. I know I can go to university libraries to study but I’d quite like to be around people studying also, even if it’s different subjects. Is there a solution? Study groups or similar maybe?

If you study with the Open University there would be exactly this sort of support - a contactable tutor, regular local study days so you can meet others doing the same course and intensive summer sessions. Law Courses | Law | The Open University

Thanks. I was looking at university of law online rather than OU.

OU has far more academic credibility than the Uni of Law.

I’m surprised by that, why do you think that?

Its a long established University with an excellent undergraduate and research record / reputation - and employers and academics trust its high standards. The same cannot be said for the University of Law which many academics regard as a bit mickey-mouse.

Hey @Ms.Sparkles

We offer an online Law degrees both Undergrad and Postgrad, as an online student with us you can choose to pick one face-to-face campus where you can use all of the facilities like the library & study spaces. It's worth mentioning that we are the largest provider of legal education in the UK (HESA 2021/22).

Depending on your course you'll have live workshops to connect with other students. Also it's really common for students to organise WhatsApp groups outside of their studies to discuss assignments, how studying online is going and to organise meet ups.

If you'd like to hear from an online student studying with ULaw then you can message Jess who's a postgraduate Law student here on Unibuddy.

Alternatively we're running a live event called 'What's it like to study online' where you'll receive a live demonstration of our online learning platform Elite. You can also chat to our social events co-ordinator, and wellbeing teams. You can book a free spot here.

I hope that helps.

Mandi, The University of Law
