LLB
Degree
The
University
of
London LLB
for External students
can be studied under either of two schemes, or under the
Graduate Entry Route
. Students have up to
eight years to complete their degree and may take, for example, two years to
complete the first year.
Scheme
A is the degree in its
traditional format, whilst Scheme B
is intended for students who wish, or need, to study at a slower pace.
Period
of Study for the LLB
The minimum period of study after registrations is
as follows:
Scheme
A: 3 years
Graduate Entry
Route
A: 2 Years
Students who are able to study full time often
complete their degree in the minimum time suggested. However, most students
studying by themselves take four or five years to complete their studies. The
maximum period is eight years.
If you have suitable qualifications, you may be
eligible for exemption from the whole or individual subjects of the Intermediate
examinations at Scheme A or Year 1 of Scheme B. If you are granted exemption
from all four of the Intermediate
subjects, the minimum period of registration would be two years on Scheme A
and three years on Scheme B.
Examinations
The
examination for each individual subject of the LLB is a three-hour unseen
written paper. No coursework is set or marked by the
University
of
London
.
The
LLB examination under Scheme A
consists of 12 papers taken in three
Parts. You must take the examinations for all four subjects at each Part
together on the same occasion. You must pass (or be exempted from) the
Intermediate examination before proceeding to Part I, and pass the Part I
examination before proceeding to Part II.
Transfer
between Schemes and Routes
It is
possible, under certain circumstances, to transfer from one Scheme or Route to
another.
