 Hi im new to the OU, im hoping to start studying Law in June, starting with the Y186 course.

I was wondering if anyone could explain the order and dates you do each course, and if you can only get funding for 120 credits per year. Is this an accurate order of how the course will go? Also when are the Level 2 Free choice courses usually completed?

Any help would be great, I look forward to studying here!

Hello,  I'm also signed up to the Starting with Law course for a June start.  I'm afraid I'm unable to help you with your question, but thought I would say hi as we'll be in the same group.

Maybe we'll be able to discuss as the course progresses.

Enjoy your studies

Sarah
