The blended learning routes combine online learning sessions, activities, discussion groups, webinars and video calls.There are three intensive face-to-face block sessions delivered at our Stoke-on-Trent campus, with the option for our International students to attend the second week-long session in Trinidad and the third session via virtual attendance (i.e. video conferencing, online discussions).
Students on the full-time blended learning course are expected to commit an average of 32 hours study each week; students on the part-time blended learning course are expected to commit an average of 16 hours study each week.
On successful completion, students are awarded an LLM in Legal Practice

As a significant number of our international students studying on the Blended Learning programme may be unable to join us for the on-campus Foundation Week due to ongoing Covid travel restrictions, we have taken the decision to deliver the Foundation Week online for the 2021/22 academic year. This means that it will not be necessary for international students to travel to our UK campus in October 2021. Delivery will continue online via our virtual learning platform after that date for our Blended Learning students until the next intensive face-to-face block session in February 2022.
