For many practicing lawyers around the world, the University of London’s LL.B is the pathway to a law career.
The program offers the flexibility — in terms of when (twice-yearly exams), where (anywhere in the world), and how (self-study, with a private tutor, or attend classes online or in person) — and regardless of the student’s:
- Age (teen, mid-career, or retiree);
- Personal circumstances (working adult looking to make a career switch or climb the corporate ladder, physician or dentist wanting to add the LL.B to their credentials, homemaker planning to return to the job market, or a current full-time student at a university working towards a degree in a different field);
- Academic qualifications (diploma, first degree, or postgraduate degree in a different field); or
- Ambition (to be a lawyer, or for personal interest with no intentions of being a practicing lawyer).
Prominent graduates of the University of London’s distance learning LL.B include Nelson Mandela, current and former Presidents and Prime Ministers of the Commonwealth of Nations, politicians, government ministers, and Supreme Court judges in various former Commonwealth and non-Commonwealth countries.
Academic direction for the LL.B is provided by Birkbeck; King’s College London; London School of Economics and Political Science; Queen Mary University of London; School of Oriental and African Studies; and University College London.
