The British Law Centre’s one-year Diploma in English Law and Practical Legal Skills is organised by a specially-created educational foundation based at the University of Cambridge, Faculty of Law. Its members include Lord Carnwath of the UK’s Supreme Court. Its Academic Committee is presided over by Professor Richard Fentiman, Dean of the Faculty of Law at Cambridge University.
Participants of the Diploma course study core issues of English law (including contract law, tort, trusts and others) and build a portfolio of practical legal skills (including case management, legal writing, contract drafting, oral advocacy, debating, mooting, interview skills and others).
The Diploma will be taught at Lviv Polytechnic National University exclusively by native-speaker English lecturers and lawyers during 8 study visits. Each study visit lasts between 4-6 hours (not including extra, voluntary events which participants can join if they wish). The course materials are prepared by experts in their respective fields, including academic staff from Cambridge University and other leading UK Universities. The materials and course teachers are also available at any time via a dedicated course website. All teaching is conducted in English in a practical and interactive manner.
The Diploma is aimed at law students, trainee/practising lawyers and anyone who wishes to improve their English language and legal terminology. Whether you wish to practise as a lawyer or simply improve your written and spoken English whilst developing a range of other skills, the Diploma helps to make your career goals a reality.
The Diploma is well-recognised amongst legal employers and educational institutions throughout the world. BLC graduates have already gone on to excel in a wide variety of professional ways, inter alia by working in most of the major international law firms and a variety of legal institutions, including the European Court of Justice.
The Diploma is a fee-paying course, but a reduced “earlybird” fee applies until 30th July. Click on the following links to find out more about the Diploma or to contact us for further information
