Graduate and Professional CoursesNottingham Law School offers post-graduate academic programmes and graduate professional qualifying programmes. The School offers innovative post-graduate masters courses covering a range of subject areas. The Masters in Law (LLM) programme allows students to 'build' their own programme by selecting modules from a wide range of subject areas to suit their own interests. As such, students will be able to obtain either a Single, Joint or Major / Minor LLM award. Some of the programmes are suitable for applicants from a non-legal background, for example: Health Law, Sports Law and International Criminal Justice. For those training to become a solicitor or barrister, the School offers the Legal Practice Course (LPC) and Bar Professional Training Course (BPTC). The LPC is universally seen as the market leader and has received an ''excellent'' rating in every Law Society assessment. Nottingham Law School is one of only ten educational establishments validated by the Bar Council to deliver the BPTC. For non-law graduates, the Law School offers the opportunity to pursue qualifying law degree status through the Graduate Diploma in Law (GDL) by both full-time and distance learning study routes. This successful course has a pass rate of over 90% and it has been adopted as a development model by other conversion courses. Successful completion on the first attempt of the GDL may lead to a place on the BPTC or LPC at Nottingham. GDL students who go on to study the BPTC or LPC with Nottingham Law School will also have the opportunity to be awarded an LLB, provided certain conditions are met. International OpportunitiesAll Nottingham Law School students are welcome to participate in the Law School's Summer School Programme, where they will have the opportunity to visit Strasbourg, Tallinn, Berlin, Amsterdam, Geneva or Zante. Students are taught various aspects of European and International Law and visit institutions, such as the European Court of Human Rights. This programme is well-attended and provides students with a valuable experience of European and International Law in practice. Contact details |
