Nottingham Law School prospectus 2017/18

LLM Legal Practice (distance learning)

This Masters in Law (LLM) is ideal for those with professional legal qualifications such as the BPTC or LPC (or their precursors). Credit points are awarded for these professional qualifications, and our students can then top up these points with a dissertation or publishable article to gain their LLM.

The LLM Legal Practice (distance learning) provides 60 Masters-level credits which, when combined with the evidence of academic achievement from the BPTC or LPC (or equivalent), will lead to the award of an LLM. The course is equivalent to 600 hours of study, and includes either a traditional dissertation or an article of publishable quality. Our course is designed to allow completion of the top-up element over a 4 – 24 month period. This not only allows you to undertake study immediately following the completion of your LPC or BPTC, but also offers more flexible timeframes for completing the self-study module. This course is for those who have successfully completed the LPC and BPTC (or their equivalent). This course will be extremely attractive to practitioners as it also satisfies CPD requirements.

Fact file Start: September 2018 Duration: 4 – 24 months, distance learning. Entry requirements: • Applicants should have successfully

completed either the Legal Practice Course (LPC), or the Bar Professional Training Course (BPTC). • Applications from members of other legal professions will also be considered e.g. patent attorneys, or trade mark attorneys. Fees and funding: Visit www.ntu.ac.uk/nlsfees for further details.
