For those wishing to pursue a career in the legal profession, particularly as a Barrister-at-Law, this degree will act as the first and most important stepping stone. The LL.B (hons) degree tutored by us, being awarded by a University that is internationally reputed, will also provide a strong foundation for those who wish to proceed further academically anywhere in the world.
DIPLOMA-IN-LAW:
Student with H.S.C / O-Level and Age 18+(on 1st September) may join in DIPLOMA-IN-LAW programme. Once you have successfully completed four subjects or three subjects in one sitting, you may transfer to LL.B(Hons) year 2 or Scheme B year 2. A number of British universities recognise the DIPLOMA-IN-LAW as a possible basis for entry as a campus-based student on the second year of a degree programme.
This degree will certainly lead to a detailed knowledge of law and the legal system, and is also an opportunity to develop powers of analysis and reasoning, hence it is also a great advantage to students wishing to pursue careers in government, commerce and industries, or in any managerial or administrative fields.

Graduate Entry Routes A and B
If you have a full first degree by examination awarded by an institution acceptable to the University for this purpose but you do not wish to apply for exemption from the Intermediate examination, you can take the 1-1-3 degree on Graduate Entry Route A (Minimum two years) or Graduate Entry Route B (Minimum three years). In both Graduate Entry Routes, you must complete each examination satisfactorily by passing all of the subjects before proceeding to the next.
