- Course Overview:The ATHE Level 5 Extended Diploma in Law is a UK-regulated qualification carrying 120 credits and is recognised as being equivalent to the second year of a UK undergraduate law degree. Designed to build on foundational legal knowledge, this qualification deepens understanding of key legal doctrines and develops the analytical, research, and professional skills required for advanced studies or early career roles in the legal sector. It offers a rigorous academic experience that bridges foundational law study and higher education progression, making it ideal for learners who wish to continue toward an LLB top-up degree or prepare for legal-related professions. The curriculum brings together a blend of theoretical frameworks and real-world applications, ensuring learners can critically evaluate legal concepts and apply them to realistic scenarios. Through this extended diploma, learners not only study substantive areas of law but also refine vital skills such as legal reasoning, case analysis, client-focused communication, and ethical decision-making. Assessments are conducted through structured assignments that simulate professional legal tasks, rather than formal examinations, giving learners practical experience comparable to real legal environments. This qualification is particularly well-suited for students who have already completed a Level 4 law qualification or equivalent and are looking to progress to higher education or specialised legal training. It also provides valuable preparation for learners considering careers as paralegals, legal analysts, or legal administrators, as well as those seeking a strong academic foundation prior to entering final-year law degrees or professional legal programmes. The ATHE Level 5 Extended Diploma in Law is delivered flexibly to suit a range of learner needs — including classroom instruction, online distance learning, or blended delivery formats — allowing students to progress in a mode that best fits their personal and professional commitments.0

Each unit contributes to a cumulative total that determines the final grade (Pass, Merit, or Distinction), offering a structured pathway for academic achievement.

Learners benefit from flexible delivery modes — including on‑campus learning, distance study, or a blended approach — that support individual study preferences and practical needs. Assessment is conducted through applied coursework that emphasises legal analysis, research, and professional skills, rather than traditional examination formats.0
