Additional Descriptions
With us, you’ll learn to excel. The new LLM incorporates the existing PG Dip Legal Practice Course (LPC) followed by a research project. Our course content is relevant, practice-led, and ranges from civil litigation and dispute resolution to business, property and family law. It’s all taught flexibly, by knowledgeable and engaged lecturers who’ve worked in the private sector.We don’t just talk about employability – we actively go out and make it happen. We’re nestled in the heart of Cambridge and just 45 minutes away from London, where we have a good and ever-growing network across the city’s chambers. Our links with employers are strong, and we’re proactive about using them to source and nurture opportunities. So whether your ambitions are local or international, you’ll be very well connected. And through our law clinic, solicitors’ forum and mock courtroom, you’ll be able to put everything you’ve learnt into practice in real-world settings. It adds up to a superb, and consistently highly rated, learning experience
This, combined with the quality and relevance of our teaching, leads to a very high number of our alumni who move right into qualifying work experience. And it continues to rise. Our pass rates are outstanding, as is the percentage of students who achieve distinctions and commendations – and it’s not hard to see why. Delivered by lecturers who know how law is applied, our teaching builds confidence as well as expertise. And it nurtures the development of driven, focused students who question everything. So when you graduate, you’ll do so with far more than just a certificate.
Studying law with us is a very personal experience. Our small class-sizes allow positive relationships with lecturers and fellow students to easily form. No matter how serious and technical the subject, our teaching remains refreshingly informal. And our lecturers are engaged and involved, which means you will be too. The result is greater freedom to learn in a way that’s perfect for you and your ambitions.

My name is Kavisha Prince Anthony, and I always had a dream of studying abroad. Thankfully, that dream came to life since I applied to the Study Advisor. I was able to receive my visa within four days. I also had some visa refusals in the past; I had about six UK visa refusals in the past, but thankfully, it was not an issue since the Study Advisor was able to make things work this time. I highly recommend Study Advisor for your dreams of going abroad, whether it be the UK or any other European country there is.
