University of London External Programme

How exactly does this program work?

 

The U of L provides links to information about studying by distance learning at http://www.londonexternal.ac.uk/distancelearning/index.html

Basically, U of L provides study materials (Regulations; Handbook; Resource guide; a subject guide/subject introduction for each subject studied and past examination papers/examiners’ reports) and recommends textbooks. Students may study on their own or study at a local institution. Quite a few entities offer courses and tutorials for U of L programmes -- they are separate from the U of L and not necessarily endorsed or recommended by U of L.

 

By studying alone it is more affordable also. I know some external providers who offer instruction in law yet add 1200 pounds on top of registration and fees. By doing it alone I suppose you save tuition fees?

 

Yes...you could save $$ on tutorial fees by studying/learning on your own. However...I've read on a few other posts that this program is quite rigorous. There are many organizations that provide tutorial help specifically geared for the LLB External degree programme. You might want to use a tutorial college for your 1st course should you decide to enroll in U of L. At least you'd have some support when first starting out.

Please have a look on my post with the thread "University of London LL.B fees".

The academic programs from the UoL constituent colleges are converted to a DL format and offered via the UoL external office.

The actual format depends on the program... all, I believe, have an exam which is proctored via Sylvan learning centers or British consulates... some have essay evaluation also... some provide the opportunity to transfer to the UoL full-time program.

At the end of the day... you get a UoL degree... one of the most prestigious 100% non-residential DL crededential available.

 

As to most postgraudate and master degree programs, lead colleges of the U of Lond. will provide teaching instructions (through audio and video tapes), assignments marking and comments from lecturers.
