Program description
Non-law graduates who want to work in the legal field should take this accredited course.
The Bar Standards Board and the Solicitors Regulation Authority both accept it as meeting all of their CPE (Common Professional Exam) requirements.
You can earn an additional LLM in Legal Studies by taking one of two different routes.
Route 1: Postgraduate Diploma in Legal Studies incorporating the CPE. The PG Diploma can be topped up to an LLM by undertaking a 15,000 dissertation in the following academic year.

This route is intensive and demanding as students study for the taught modules alongside work on the 15,000 dissertation, completed over the summer period for submission in September.
