Program Overview
The Postgraduate Certificate in Law at the University of London is a one‑year, part‑time programme designed for graduates and professionals seeking advanced legal knowledge without committing to a full LLM. Delivered by Birkbeck Law School, it offers flexible evening classes in HyFlex format (online or on campus) and allows students to choose specialist modules in areas such as commercial law, human rights, and international business law. Non‑law graduates can take a foundation module, while assessments are coursework‑based. Completion provides progression to the Postgraduate Diploma or LLM and enhances career opportunities in law, policy, governance, NGOs, and corporate sectors.
Eligibility may vary depending on your program and scholarship type.
