LLB, Graduate Diploma in Law: Advice pls??

Kaybenson

Must the universities/colleges of law inscribe on the certificate that graduands qualified by virtue of distance learning.

SRA and the bar council dont have problem with the manner in which law graduates qualify(part-time, full time or distance learning). A number of countries law society take note of such stuffs, in fact they dont allow distance learning students to take up law profession.

My question is: Is there any college/universities who does distance learning courses(lAW) but WILL NOT inscribe via distance learning/external there?

Many thanks.

Not sure what/why you are asking - what is it you plan to do? I have recently started with Uni Of London, which is acceptable to Bar Council - it is the grades that matter to get the pupillage etc.

If you are planning on practising law in a country that won't accept a degree achieved by distance learning then the fact that this is written on the degree certificate is irrelevant and you will need to study for your degree in the conventional way.

(I hope that I have understood your question; it really wasn't clear.)

Ok.

I want the degree to be generally acceptable.

About 7 years ago wolverhampton university does it and the certificate does NOT be part-time or distance learning.

It appears nowadays thing have changed.

What i need is if there is any other universities that just write the qualification without the mode-of-study.

Cheers

Mode of study makes no difference - OU in prof and law degrees are highly respected what matters is the grades as said before. In any event you will have to put it on your CV/application for further progression.

If you wish to have a career in law, could I politely suggest that you work on your English first?

Nottingham Trent do not specify the mode of study on your certificate.

You seem to have missed my point that it isn't what's written on the certificate that matters!

If, as you say, "they dont allow distance learning students to take up law profession." then you would be mad to go ahead just because a certificate doesn't state the mode of study.

Your ethics seem to be on a par with your English, I'm afraid.

Also when doing a graduate LLB you need to be aware that your grades in your first degree will be taken into account when employing/pupillage etc. So the mode of study is really not the be all and end all. And take note of ONW advice above you won't be able to fool anyone by whats written on the certificate.

Thanks All.

1) I do understand the importance of good grades in virtually ALL careers. I have NEVER raised any worries about this.

2) My question goes beyond practicing in England(where it does NOT matter the mode at which the course was done).

Some countries dont accept graduates of Open University while university of london external hardly have any chance.

Absolute rubbish. Are you sure that law is the right career for you?
