LLM applications are welcomed from candidates who hold a first or second class law degree or equivalent e.g. CPE/PgDip in law.

Candidates who have not reached this standard but who have more than two years’ experience in the area may be considered for admission on the basis of individual merit.

Accreditation for Prior Experiential Learning (APEL)

We welcome applications from students who may not have formal/traditional entry criteria but who have relevant experience or the ability to pursue the course successfully.

The Accreditation of Prior Learning (APL) process could help you to make your work and life experience count. The APL process can be used for entry onto courses or to give you exemptions from parts of your course.

Two forms of APL may be used for entry: the Accreditation of Prior Certificated Learning (APCL) or the Accreditation of Prior Experiential Learning (APEL).

English Language Requirements

Suitable For

This course is suitable for professionals from any field and from anywhere in the world and also to those who do not necessarily wish to specialise in any particular area of law but would like to have a broad, legal knowledge across distinct yet interrelated interdisciplinary subjects.

Applicant profile

Any student wishing to embark on legal study must be prepared to read, digest and critically analyse their own and others’ work.    

You must be computer literate and have access to PC and internet facilities. Legal study can involve a great deal of research and many legal databases are online so strong IT skills are needed.  

You will be required to engage in self directed study which takes a lot of self-discipline. It is suggested that you do around 10 hours study per week.
