About Bath Spa University
Bath Spa University awards the degrees on this AF Education pathway, delivered with Westminster College London (WCL) at the Stratford campus in London. The offer suits mature students who want a funded undergraduate route in business and law subjects in the capital.
AF Education helps England-resident home students apply for Student Finance England. Tuition fee loans are paid to the university, and maintenance loans are paid to you for living costs while you study.
Subjects currently listed include Business and Law. Flexible attendance patterns on many programmes help students balance employment and study commitments.
Four courses are listed on this pathway, all at the Stratford campus (Bridge House, 320 High St, London E15 1EP): LLB (Hons) Law, LLB (Hons) Law with Foundation Year, BA (Hons) Business and Management (Law) with Foundation Year, and the CertHE Business and Management.
The CertHE and the BA (Hons) Business and Management (Law) with Foundation Year are listed on both weekday and weekend timetables, which helps if you work Monday to Friday. The two LLB routes are listed on weekdays. Campus courses typically need 1 to 2 campus days a week at about 2 to 4 hours a day, plus independent study, and the exact timetable is confirmed before you enrol.
Choosing between them: the CertHE is a one-year Level 4 award, the foundation-year routes add a preparatory year before the degree, and the LLB (Hons) Law is the direct start. For 2026/27 a full-time Tuition Fee Loan is up to £9,790 and the London Maintenance Loan is up to £14,135, depending on household income (GOV.UK).
