Course in depth
What this course covers, who it suits and where it leads.
What you'll study
This course adds a foundation year to the traditional LLB structure, allowing you to build essential academic skills before studying law proper. You'll usually begin with core legal principles, Contract Law, Public Law and Criminal Law, examining how rights and obligations form, how the constitution and courts work, and the basis of criminal liability. In your second year, a course like this normally moves to Tort Law, Land Law and International Law, exploring civil wrongs, property rights and cross-border legal frameworks. By year three, you'll study Equity and Trusts, choose specialist options such as commercial law, human rights, criminal justice, family law or employment law, and complete independent legal research or supervised clinic work. Throughout, the integrated foundation year ensures you develop the analytical and written communication skills law demands.

The integrated structure allows you to build core academic skills before advancing to honours-level study.

International students
What applying to William College Ltd from outside the UK involves: fees, English, visa, funding and living costs.
Tuition fees
International tuition is set per course by William College Ltd; international fees are typically £12,000–£30,000/year for classroom subjects and higher for lab/clinical ones. You’re not eligible for UK Tuition Fee or Maintenance Loans, so plan for fees plus living costs upfront.
English language
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.
Student visa
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.
Scholarships & funding
Many universities offer international/global scholarships (often £2,000–£6,000/yr), check William College Ltd’s funding pages.
Living costs
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.
Working while you study
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 William College Ltd and gov.uk before you apply.
