Questions before enrolment
Frequently asked questions
Open each question to review the controlled answer. Ask RSG to confirm provider terms that may have changed.
Does this course qualify me as a solicitor or barrister?
No. It is an academic law route. Solicitor and barrister qualification routes have separate requirements set by the relevant regulators and training providers.
Can I enter the final year of an LLB automatically?
No. Some universities publish progression routes for suitable OTHM law awards, but each institution assesses the exact qualification, modules, grades and other entry requirements.
Is the combined route one Extended Diploma?
OTHM has a Level 5 Extended Diploma in Law, qualification number 610/1961/6. OBS must confirm whether the combined enrolment issues that award or separate Level 4 and Level 5 diplomas.
What happens if I cancel, withdraw or request a refund?
Online Business School's current cancellation, withdrawal and refund terms apply. Ready Study Global does not set or administer the provider's refund decisions. Ask us for the current OBS terms before enrolment or payment.
When is Law a better choice than Business Management at Level 4 and Level 5?
Choose Law when legal systems, contract, criminal, public, company, employment, land and tort law are your main academic interest. Choose Business Management for broader organisational and commercial management study.
