GRADUATE DIPLOMA IN LAW (full-time)

This one-year intensive course is designed for any non-law graduate who intends to become a solicitor or barrister in the UK. Our GDL places the academic subjects into a work-related context so that students are more prepared for practice. All students who successfully complete the GDL will be guaranteed a place on the KLS LPC. Face-to-face tuition is a priority and the course is taught through interactive small group sessions and small lecture cohorts. See www.kaplanlawschool.org.uk/gdl for more information..

LEGAL PRACTICE COURSE (full-time and part-time)

The NLS LPC has long been regarded as the industry leader and is the only LPC to receive the SRA’s highest rating every year since its inception. KLS offer the same rigorous, professional standards of course design and delivery, reflected in the same highest rating received from the SRA. Our teaching model is based around smaller group sizes which helps accelerate student learning and understanding and gives tutors more contact time with each student.

We offer you a choice of broad-based or specialist pathways through your LPC allowing you to tailor your LPC to a particular area of legal practice. We also aim to get you ready to practice through our Bridge to Practice programme See www.kaplanlawschool.org.uk/lpc for more information.

BAR VOCATIONAL COURSE (full-time)

We are delighted to have been validated by the Bar Standards Board (BSB) to deliver the NLS Bar Course in London as from September 2010. The NLS Bar Course is established as one of the best in the country with double the average pupillage rates and the highest student satisfaction rates.
