Entry and qualifications

Entry

This module will be a good choice if you:

• have taken W200 Understanding law, or you have studied the law before and have an up-to-date knowledge of the Foundations of Legal Knowledge and want to develop your understanding, either out of general interest or because some legal knowledge would be useful in your work
• have taken W200 Understanding law and intend to obtain a Qualifying Law Degree

The module assumes that you already have knowledge and understanding of the law, and we strongly advise you to take W200 first.

W201 is a Level 2 module, and you need a good knowledge of a subject area, obtained either from a Level 1 study with the OU or from an equivalent work from another university. If you have any doubt about the level of study please seek advice from your Regional Centre.

Qualifications

This is a compulsory module in our LL.B degree. It can also count towards most of our other degrees at bachelor’s level, where it can help to weight your degree towards a BA. It is up to you to ensure that you are properly informed about the circumstances in which the module can count towards these qualifications.
