Why study this course?
Two courses rolled into one. Applying for our Graduate LLB degree course is the equivalent of completing our Graduate Diploma in Law course and our Graduate Law (Top-Up) (Distance Learning) at the same time. As a result, you will reach the level of a three-year law undergraduate in just one year and gain an internationally recognised qualification all at once.
Study when it suits you. You can study this course during the day or during the evening, and you can even change this arrangement week-to-week to keep up with your personal schedule and life commitments. The final module, which is a dissertation, is studied after all the other modules have been completed and is conducted entirely by distance learning. You can be completing your degree at London Met from anywhere in the world.

The Common Professional Exam (CPE) is a well-recognised route to a legal career, and many employers in the legal field actively favour postgraduate students who have a proven expertise outside the area of law.
Success on the CPE will also enable you to apply to take an LLM if you wish to pursue an academic career or simply to expand your legal knowledge.
