PROFILE
At The College of Law you'll get the best possible start to your legal career. With centres in Birmingham, Bristol, Chester, Guildford, London, Manchester and York, we're the first choice for aspiring modern lawyers. Our innovative courses are designed and taught by lawyers, with a clear focus on building the practical skills, commercial awareness and independent thinking you'll need to succeed in the modern world of law.
GRADUATE DIPLOMA IN LAW
(full-time/part-time/S-mode (supervised online))
Designed to build knowledge and skills that more than match a law degree, with a clear focus on preparing you for life in practice. Academic training is built around real-life examples and case studies, and you'll be given research assignments that directly reflect the way you'll work as a lawyer. If you go on to successfully complete your LPC or BPTC at the College you'll graduate with an LLB law degree, without the need to study or pay for additional modules.
LEGAL PRACTICE COURSE
(full-time/part-time/S-mode (supervised online))
Our LPC is rigorous and practical, equipping you with the skills you need to succeed in practice. We have the widest selection of elective subjects available and offer three different LPC routes, allowing you to specialise in your chosen field: corporate, commercial and private, and legal aid. The majority of teaching is in small, student-centred groups and the course features extensive use of multimedia learning resources. New for 2012: accelerated LPC - seven-month full-time programme.
BAR PROFESSIONAL TRAINING COURSE
(full-time/part-time)
Our BPTC has been designed to resemble practice as closely as possible. Study follows a logical, realistic process from initial instruction to final appeal and learning is based around the seven core skills and three knowledge areas stipulated by the Bar Standards Board. Most of your learning will be in small groups and you'll have plenty of opportunities to put your learning into action through practitioner evenings, mock trials, court visits, mooting, negotiating and advocacy competitions, and pro bono.
JURIS DOCTOR
The College of Law Juris Doctor qualification (JD) allows you to prepare to dual qualify in England and Wales and in the US by giving you access to the New York State Bar exam.
LLM MASTERS DEGREES
(A-mode (blended learning)/S-mode (supervised online)/full-time attendance)
Our Masters degrees are truly professional qualifications and reflect cutting-edge approaches to legal practice. We offer a wide choice of flexible, specialist modules to suit your area of interest and enhance your expertise. You can study for an LLM in either Professional Legal Practice or International Legal Practice. Students who successfully complete our LPC or BPTC will earn credits towards our LLM Masters degrees.
