What this course covers, who it suits and where it leads.
This course offers a broad foundation in law and criminology before progressing to specialist options. You'll usually start with core subjects: Contract Law covering formation, terms and breach; Public Law exploring the constitution and human rights; and Criminal Law examining offences and liability. In year two, a course like this typically moves to Tort Law, Land Law and International or EU Law. By year three, you'll study Equity and Trusts alongside specialist options such as Commercial law, Human rights, Criminal justice, Family law or Employment law. Many programmes include independent legal research or supervised work in a law clinic. The Foundation Year ensures you begin with the fundamentals before developing deeper expertise.

Most accepted students held A-levels or equivalent qualifications; recent entrants typically had a UCAS tariff of 96–111 points.

If you normally live in England, eligible students can apply for a Tuition Fee Loan, plus a Maintenance Loan for living costs. Under Plan 5 you repay 9% of income above £25,000, nothing below that, and the balance is written off after 40 years.

What applying to University of Lancashire from outside the UK involves: fees, English, visa, funding and living costs.
International tuition is £17,325 / year for this course (from the provider’s fee page). You’re not eligible for UK Tuition Fee or Maintenance Loans, so plan for fees plus living costs upfront.
Most UK undergraduate courses ask for around IELTS 6.0–6.5 (no band below 5.5–6.0), or an accepted equivalent. If you’re just short, most universities run a pre-sessional English course that counts towards the requirement.
You’ll usually need a Student visa (Student Route). After you accept an offer the university issues a CAS; you then show funds for fees plus about £1,023–£1,334/month living costs and pay the Immigration Health Surcharge for NHS access.
Many universities offer international/global scholarships (often £2,000–£6,000/yr), check University of Lancashire’s funding pages.
Budget roughly £1,100–£1,400/month outside London and £1,400–£1,800/month in London for rent, food and travel; the figure also matters for your visa.
A Student visa usually allows up to 20 hours/week in term time and full-time in holidays, useful alongside study, though not something to rely on for fees.
Visa rules and fees change. Always confirm the current requirements with University of Lancashire and gov.uk before you apply.
