Modes of study

The modes of study for the LLM (Professional Legal Practice) are flexible so you can fit the programme around your personal commitments such as study, work and family. You can complete it at a speed and in the order that suits you - in four months or up to seven years after you register on the LPC or BPTC/BVC.*

If you wish to complete it during the summer after you finish your LPC or BPTC/BVC you must do two practice-based projects, because the LLM modules can only be done in term time as per your chosen LLM module timetable. However, if your training contract or pupillage starts in September or October and you want to do one practice-based project and one LLM module you could study the LLM module in the evening**. The LLM module timetables can be seen at the links below:

• LLM (Commercial Law)
• LLM (Financial Regulation and Compliance)
• LLM (International Business Law

There are several different dates each year when you can attend the Preparation and Planning module. Once you have completed this module you will be given dates when to hand in your proposal/s and final project/s. These can be adjusted to suit your needs.

*Available to alumni who completed their LPC or BPTC/BVC in 2006 or later.
**Subject to availability.
