Study law online?

Options
Hello,

I currently study Accountancy at university, and have found a new calling: law. I am currently on my work placement, and have an interest in law.

Where can i study law online and how much would it cost? Would i still get a degree? Would my current uni mind that i am studying another degree as well?

Thanks, Ryan

  • I don't think anyone would mind, but remember that with any online/distance course, it takes a hell of a lot of time - OU recommend a minimum of 16 hours per week. On top of another degree course that could be a bit of a killer. I'm sure they would both require an awful lot of reading as well.

    Not sure about anywhere else, but OU courses are between £500 and £1000 per year.

  • I think it would be worth it hto, to have a law and accountancy degree, give me that space to move into the career i want :-)

    I think you are being very unrealistic in thinking that you could manage two degrees at once, and gain good grades. I would suggest finishing one degree and then looking at another area. Indeed, you may be successful in getting sponsorship to do the GDL (though this is highly competitive), the Graduate Diploma in Law.
    Gone ... or have I?
