This programme offers you the opportunity to study 60 credits selected from modules offered in London. For those interested in Technology, Media and Telecommunications Law, there may be scope to combine modules taught in-person in London with modules taught by distance for the TMT Law Online LLM - see

Your 60 credits are made up through a combination of 15 or 30 credit modules which you will study during a period of one semester or one academic year, depending on your choice of modules, and practical considerations such as UK immigration rules.

We will ask you to consider your preferred modules and desire to specialise during the application process in consultation with the CCLS team. Currently, there is scope to specialise in the fields of law offered as specialist LLMs in London, including:

Art, Business and Law
Insurance Law
Interactive Entertainment Law
International Tax Law

Successful completion of all your module credits from a particular specialist pathway, would be recognised in the title of your Postgraduate Certificate. For example, the successful completion of studies in International Tax Law, would be reflected via an award of: Postgraduate Certificate in International Tax Law.

This programme is specifically designed for:

those who wish to enhance their knowledge in a specialist field at a highly ranked global centre of learning
those who may already have an LLM, but want to enhance those studies in a new area or with a deepened expertise
those who are not currently able to undertake a full-time LLM but may wish to take further credit at a future date.

Our modules provide students with a comprehensive legal knowledge, whilst looking at real world examples to apply this knowledge and develop key skills.

Structure

The award of a Postgraduate Certificate requires successful completion (attendance and assessment) of 60 credits of study.

We would advise that you allocate approximately 600 hours towards the combination of class, personal study and assessment time.

You can choose to undertake:

60 credits in one semester, starting in September
60 credits in one semester, starting in January
60 credits in one academic year, starting in September
60 credits in one calendar year, starting in January.

Please note that only up to 50% of your credit can be undertaken off-site through distance learning modules. The alternative is to undertake a Postgraduate Certificate fully by distance on the Technology, Media and Telecommunications Law Online PGCert and for International Dispute Resolution PGCert.

Please note that if you are not a UK-resident or have settled status, we strongly recommend that you undertake the Certificate within one semester. We would NOT normally issue CASs for Student Route visas for the Postgraduate Certificate in Law. We instead recommend the Visitor Route which allows you to enter the UK for up to 6 months.
