This Law School is one of the 31 colleges belonging to City University London. It offers a graduate diploma in law (GDL) in a one-year course. Qualifying students will be non-law graduates who will be taught the foundational subjects that are typically required for an undergraduate law degree. As well, they will study legal ethics and learn how to use legal databases and research legal materials. The graduate entry program for bachelors of laws degrees (LLB) allows non-law graduates to earn their LLB in two years. These studies qualify students to continue on to the legal practice course if they want to become a solicitor, or the bar professional training course to become a barrister.
