Mariam asked:

Once completed can I take do the LLM - what other qualifications can I take- what am I able to do with a level 5?

Answer:

Hi. You cannot jump from level 5 to level 7 masters qualification. Level 5 is 120 credits and for bachelors degree top like LLB you would also need a level 4 diploma in law which together with level 5 will give 240 credits and this will allow you to do LLB topup degree with a UK University. There are lots of career options available post completion of level 5 diploma for example working in the legal services sector or a solicitors office in law administration or as a law secretary amongst other
