CertHE Common Law Leading to LLB (Hons) University of London
CertHE Common Law is a one-year Programme which focuses on students who may not have the qualifications required to enrol, but are sufficiently mature and demonstrate the necessary potential and ability to study at degree level. It is not only a qualification in its own right but is also an entry route to degree study. Prospective students should be aware that the standard required to pass the CertHE Common Law is equivalent to that of the first year of the LLB (Hons) of the University of London. One of the core features of the CertHE Common Law is that a student can get an internationally recognised legal qualification without committing to the full LLB (Hons) Programme.
Subjects to be taken in the CertHE Common Law
- Legal System and Method (LSM)
- Criminal Law
- Contract Law
- Public Law
Full-Time: 1 Year
Part-Time: 2 Years
The CertHE Common Law can be completed in a minimum of one year and a maximum of five years.
Students ultimately seeking an LLB with ‘Qualifying Law Degree’ Status need to see the Director (Admissions)
Students who complete the CertHE Common Law will be able to transfer to the Standard Entry LLB. Students who pass 90 credits (LSM being compulsory) will also be allowed to transfer to the Standard Entry LLB (Hons) but they will not subsequently be awarded the CertHE Common Law upon achieving 120 Level 4 credits.
