The degree is not a diploma and does not confer a qualification for the practice of law. However, the degree programme is essentially derived from Oxford Undergraduate (BA) Law. During the three semesters at Oxford, diploma students study three subjects from a subset of those studied in the bachelor`s programme and take an examination in each of the three subjects at the end of the third semester (the same examinations as BA students the previous year). In addition, first- and second-semester students participate in the Faculty`s Legal Research Skills Program, which provides training in the processing of legal information resources (paper and electronic) and legal research, and verifies students` proficiency in information technology. The Graduate Diploma in Law/Postgraduate Diploma in Law/Common Professional Examination (GDL/PGDL/CPE) is a postgraduate law course in England and Wales attended by non-law graduates (graduates with a degree in a non-law discipline or a law degree qualifying for the practice of law) who wish to become a barrister or barrister in England and Wales. [1] The study program thus allows non-legal students to transfer to law after graduation (exceptions exist for non-graduates depending on the circumstances); It is also known as the “Law Conversion Course”. Regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority, the course is designed as an intensive programme covering roughly the same content as an LL.B (Hons) law degree, and the main aim is to enable people with a wider diversity of backgrounds to pursue the legal profession. [2] This course enables non-legal graduates to understand the legal and regulatory framework of their professional fields. Students come from a variety of professional backgrounds, such as insurance, human resources, banking, finance, and education, and work in roles where knowledge of the legal landscape is essential to their work. Narrator: My advice to anyone considering a graduate law degree would be to just give it a try.

I think you`ll be surprised to learn that it`s pretty manageable once you get started. Admission to a postgraduate course in law is generally limited to applicants with a law degree or equivalent bachelor`s degree. PGDip programs begin in February each year, and to earn a PG degree, students must take four courses over the course of an academic year – as required for their chosen specialization. Tuition fees for international PhD students can be found via fee search. General and specific recognition during prior knowledge of the Graduate Diploma in Legal Studies can be found under Graduate Education Information. We also offer a range of general postgraduate courses which are very designed to start with a small offering, such as a certificate of completion up to a master`s degree. In most cases, UTS offers domestic students access to postgraduate courses on a fee-based basis. Some law students study for four years (instead of three years, although this is usually only the case for students completing a law degree combined with LPC, or for those whose courses involve study abroad), so non-law and law graduates from the same starting year can graduate at the same time. by which the CPE provides the “foundations of legal knowledge”.

The Postgraduate Diploma in Legal Studies is not a professional legal qualification. Students who wish to be admitted to the bar should consider the Juris Doctor (C04236) or the Bachelor of Laws (C10124). Certain subjects of the Graduate Diploma in Legal Studies may be credited towards these degrees. A small number of postgraduate courses offer government-funded Commonwealth Supported Places (CSP). Find out if PSCs are available in this course by visiting our Postgraduate Fees page. Develop your knowledge of the legal and regulatory framework of your industry. Students who have successfully completed three core courses of the Graduate Diploma in Legal Studies may request an internal transfer to the Juris Doctor (C04236). Applicants do not receive a graduate degree, but completed subjects are applied to the Juris Doctor (C04236). In addition to a general postgraduate degree in law, UCT Law offers the widest selection of one-year postgraduate degrees in law in the country, with a selection of postgraduate degrees in: This course particularly benefits accountants and auditors, business development managers, compliance officers, engineers and architects, financial advisors and planners, IT professionals, law enforcement officials, paralegals. public, private and non-profit sector policymakers, real estate developers, and public sector managers and administrators (particularly those working in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade, the Attorney General`s Office and the Ministry of Finance).

In addition, students who enroll in professional degrees must meet legal requirements for accreditation and enrollment. Applicants must have obtained a UTS-recognised bachelor`s degree or an equivalent or higher qualification, or have provided other evidence of general and professional qualifications demonstrating the potential for postgraduate study. Subjects completed as part of the Graduate Diploma in Legal Studies are recognized in the Master of Legal Studies (C04264).
