Diploma in Law
Awarded by University of London

Programme Objective
The Diploma in Law consists of four subjects and is identical to the subjects offered in the first year of the LL.B degree from the University of London. It can be completed in one year (full-time) or two years (part-time).

The Diploma in Law is an attractive route to those who are interested in being admitted as an Advocate & Solicitor of the Supreme Court of Singapore but who do not qualify for the normal route.

The Diploma in Law has also been designed as an alternative route to those who may not be able to enter the LL.B directly, that is, for those who may not have the necessary ‘A’ level qualification. These students (who should be at least seventeen years of age as at 1 September 2007) would be required to take an admissions test and interview.

Diploma Structure
Students are required to take four subjects and pass all four subjects in order to successfully complete the Diploma. On successful completion, students may proceed to the second year of the LL.B. The Diploma is examined to the same standard as the first year of the LL.B degree.


NEW COURSE
Diploma In Common Law
The Diploma in Common Law which is the latest addition to the courses offered by the 151 year old University of London was recently launched this year. The programme has captured the attention of many due to its unique subject combinations that cater towards those who wish to gain some knowledge and expertise in the common law of England and Wales.

Students who pursue the diploma would be able to match around subjects in law which is most relevant, be it to their current career or personal interests. The course imposes one composite subject, Common Law Reasoning and Institutions, which introduces principles and rationales as to sources of law in almost every common law jurisdiction. Besides this core paper, one can now look into a variety of three (3) other subjects as options. The wide range of subjects available includes Company law, Commercial Law, The Law of Evidence, Criminal Law, Family Law, Public Law, Conflict of Laws and European Union Law.

The most glaring advantage is that students no longer need to be in the final year of the law programme to undertake a subject offered at such a level. This is most definitely a time saver for those who wish to acquire vast knowledge in a specified field within a shorter duration, whilst obtaining a diploma certification.

Students will have a flexible study option to fit in with other commitments as specially developed course materials and a wealth of online resources which is in the online library provided by the University of London, coupled with professional guidance from a vibrant team at Stansfield College makes your journey in reading the law hassle free.
