University preparation courses at LSFL

Yes, you can. This is an online course where students read course materials, participate in group discussions and complete tasks entirely online via a dedicated virtual learning environment (VLE).

Yes, all subjects are studied on a weekly basis, like at any school or university. Your tutor will open module sessions each week (on Saturday) to help you gradually progress through the study materials at your own pace, while covering study themes and submitting assignments in time together with your group mates.

Since all our students are from different regions and different time zones, there are no live online tutorials or lectures set at a specific time. You can study course materials and complete tasks at any time comfortable for you, but you will be guided through the learning process by your tutor to ensure that you do not fall behind your group mates.

As independent learning is a core skill to be developed during academic studies, this course can be a good taster of what awaits you at university. It teaches you how to work under time constraints to meet deadlines, write essays in English, search for trusted sources when conducting research, collect and indicate correct references, think critically when discussing a problem, set goals and evaluate your own progress and in general obtain knowledge and skills necessary for your future studies and career.

Yes, the language of instruction is English. As you are planning to study at a UK university, this course is a great opportunity to improve your reading, writing, listening and speaking English language skills while still living in your home country.

Apart from improving your general English skills, you will benefit from learning specialist English vocabulary that will help you study successfully in your chosen university programme in the future. You will also learn how to write essays on topics closely related to your chosen professional area, which will definitely help you later during your academic studies at the university.

There is no formal requirement to prove your English language proficiency to study our university preparation courses, but you are expected to have English reading and writing skills equivalent to B1+ CEFR level to be able to complete all tasks.

We use study materials developed by our teachers as well as AS/A Level course books officially approved for final exam preparation in UK schools.

After registration, you will get access to all the modules in your chosen specialisation. All study materials (including Microsoft Office presentations and Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF) versions of selected study materials) are provided on the module website.

The course work includes online practice tests, tutor-marked assignments and end-of-module assessment. You must use the online VLE-system to submit your tutor-marked assignments and end-of-module assessment.

The Pass mark for each module is 50%. Upon successful completion of all modules in your specialisation, you will be issued a certificate of completion from London School of Finance and Law.

A personal computer with broadband internet access and the latest version of a browser is required for each module. Functionality may be limited on mobile or tablet devices.

There must also be an email account to communicate with your tutor and to receive newsletters from the School.

If you have a disability or particular study requirements, please tell us as soon as possible.

While a lot of course work is to be done independently, your tutor will guide you throughout the study process and mark and comment on your written work and progress.

You and your tutor will primarily communicate with each other in English via email.

Please note that all our tutors are experienced teachers who hold Enhanced DBS certificates allowing them to work with children and adults.

You can also get career advice and support from our education counsellors. They will tell you about student immigration rules, university fairs and common entrance requirements for your chosen qualification.

You can pay for the course by credit card or bank transfer during online registration.
