This sounds like a lot of hand waving by idiots who decided to waste their resources studying on campus instead of pursuing internships and getting a part-time degree online with a mix of on-campus labs.
Here's a little blurp on the Univ of London's law program, offered by correspondence for 150+ years ...
Wow, it looks like the pass mark is 40% and not everyone meets it. And a 'B', meaning second class honors, which is 60% on the British system is only the average for exactly one course. In contrast, no one in an American school gets below a B- in anything these days.
Introduction to Islamic law certainly makes this college worth attending.
Well, that area is even offered at Harvard. The point is that a 56% exam average is a 'C+', not a 'B' and thus, goes against the grade inflation BS of a vast majority of US based programs.
The University of London online degree program is first rate.
It's been around since Queen Victoria's time, yeah, long before the internet, where everything had to be done by mail, and exams proctored at the local British consulate.
They know how to do it right, whereas in the US, it's designed for the lowest common denominator (see idiots), which is how Univ of Phoenix became a legend in its own mind.
