Course Structure
One of the main benefits of an ICS course is flexibility. It is your choice how far you wish to take your studies – though we're sure once you see how rewarding learning with ICS can be, you'll be determined to achieve your full Honours degree!
In order to gain a Honours degree, you must successfully complete the equivalent of eighteen modules. Each module is worth 20 credits and there are 120 credits at each level. However, if you decide to graduate early, you can choose from the following awards:
> An Ordinary degree with 300 credits
> A Diploma of Higher Education with 240 credits
> A Certificate of Higher Education with 120 credits
Some modules can also be studied individually as part of your own personal development – and there are a great range of topics to choose from.
As you'll see below, the first two levels of the LLB (Hons) Law programme are each made up of six modules. The third level consists of ten optional modules, of which six must be taken – or five, if the Project option is chosen as it is equivalent to 2 modules.
In line with the requirements of the Law Society and General Council of the Bar it is crucial that, in order to successfully complete an undergraduate Law Degree, you must have adequate access to a Law Library that contains English Law.
In order to develop your skills even further, there will be two 2-day workshops held throughout your course for certain modules. Please note that workshop fees are additional.
