1 A quality assured degree from a

leading modern university

We have teamed up with UEL in an

innovative academic partnership to develop a

range of tailor-made distance learning degree

programmes that are fully accredited and

quality assured! UEL are a modern, vibrant

University with over 100 years of experience

and over 19,000 students. Once you have

enrolled you'll receive a UEL Student Card

and on completion of your degree you'll be

awarded with a Certificate from UEL.

2 Study at your own pace in the

comfort of your own home

Take lectures in your living room, attend

seminars on the sofa or sit tutorials in the

tub! With ICS you learn in your own time, at

your own pace and from the comfort of your

own home. So you really are in control!

3 Greater flexibility

You can enrol at any time of the year and

there are an infinite number of places

available. So you can avoid the uncertainty of

things like clearing and enjoy greater flexibility

– something that sets us apart from many

other learning institutions.

4 Help and guidance along the way

Although you're studying at home, you're

never alone. We always ensure you have all of

the help and assistance you need. Our team

of dedicated mentors will help you with

general needs. They help keep you motivated

and keep you on track with exam deadlines

etc. You'll also have the individual attention of

a specific subject tutor who will provide you

with all the academic support you require.

5 Online Student Community

Our student community is an excellent way to communicate with other like-minded students. Log-on today to take

part in our discussion forums, submit assessments or queries to your tutor or enter our resource library. With PC

access you'll also be able to use online journals and take advantage of the UK Libraries Plus System.

6 Different routes available

With ICS you choose a programme structure that suits you best. You can choose to enrol on the full

degree programme if you have the necessary UCAS points and this will save you money too.

Alternatively by taking one or two modules at a time, you can build your level of knowledge and

experience of the degree programme and only move onto the next module when you're

ready.

7 Stand out from the crowd

Choosing to study a degree by distance learning demonstrates to employers

that you not only have the necessary knowledge, skills and understanding, but

also that you can manage time effectively, are self-motivated and already have a

good work ethic – qualities that will make you stand out from the crowd.

8 Save money!

Research shows that choosing to study a university degree by distance

learning could leave you more than £35,000* better off compared to studying

the equivalent degree at a campus-based university. Plus, with the introduction

of top-up fees in England and Wales, some University courses are becoming

out of the financial reach of many people.

One of the clearest benefits of studying your degree at home with ICS is that

you can avoid such huge payments – and stay clear of the average graduate

debt of £13,501**.

As the law plays an important role in almost all spheres of life, an understanding of law can

be useful for both personal and professional development. Our LLB (Hons) Law is a qualifying

law degree that can lead you to a wide range of career opportunities. And our BA (Hons)

Law with Criminology allows you to gain a qualifying law degree with a special focus on Crime

and Criminology.

Law also develops key transferable skills that provide an excellent basis for careers that aren't

directly law-related – within Local Government for example, Charities or the Police and

Prison Service. The skills you gain could also lead to a career in Business, particulary in large

corporations where legal expertise is required.

• LLB (Hons) Law

• BA (Hons) Law with Criminology

• BA (Hons) Business Management and Law

“After missing the entry date to University I chose

to study at home with ICS. Even if I don’t become

a barrister, my LLB will be invaluable to me.

The support network in place at ICS is second to

none! The response from Mentors and Tutors is

always helpful and positive, and everything is set

up to make you feel like part of a crowd.

I am really enjoying studying with ICS and

have no hesitation in recommending this

flexible approach to learning.”

Where could a degree in Business Management take you?

As you might expect, there's a strong demand for Business Management

graduates in all types of industrial, commercial and financial

organisations. But Business Management skills are increasingly

important in the public sector.

Many graduates work for larger employers – mostly because they are

the major recruiters, often offering more structured training,

experience and promotion opportunities. However, there's an

increase in the number of graduates entering employment in small- and

medium-sized enterprises – and self-employment can also provide

opportunities and challenges too.
