Diploma In Law

The Diploma in Law provides an opportunity to reach the first-year undergraduate level both for students who satisfy the normal University entrance requirements for the LLB degree, but who choose not to register for the degree, and for those who may not have had the chance to meet these requirements, but can demonstrate that they have the ability, motivation and maturity at this level.

The structure of the Diploma in Law is the same as the first year of the LLB degree.

To undertake the Diploma in Law, you will be required to attend an appropriate course of instruction at an institution, which is permitted to teach the Diploma in Law by the University of London.

Middlesex College of Law is one of only four colleges in the United Kingdom currently permitted to teach the University of London Diploma in Law.

The Diploma in Law can only be studied by students at a designated institution, such as MCL. Attendance at such an institution is compulsory. Once a student has successfully completed the diploma, the student may transfer to Part 1 or Year 2 of the LLB degree. Full details of arrangements for transfer are given in the Regulations for the LLB degree.

Successful Diploma students who have obtained very high marks and have taken the necessary subjects may be considered by a number of British Universities for entry as internal students into the second year of degree programme.
