Pre-Masters Courses in Legal Studies

The BBSI Pre-Masters study options in Legal Studies are carefully designed for international graduates with either a first degree or equivalent, or a higher diploma and relevant work experience, to ensure they acquire the advanced academic study skills necessary for postgraduate entry to a UK university. The aim is to enable undergraduates who are seeking to enhance their career prospects by further study related to legal studies, to secure a suitable place for their postgraduate degree. The course is available in 12, 24 or 36-week study options, depending on individual requirements and a student's current level in English. The course comprises 30 lessons weekly, and the syllabus includes extensive preparation for the IELTS† Examination and Advanced Study Skills‡. Students who successfully complete the Higher-Certificate or Diploma study options will gain a thorough grounding in legal English, a BBSI award and NCFE awards. In addition, as the course includes intensive practice for the University of Cambridge ESOL International Legal English Certificate (ILEC), students will prepare for a recognised legal English qualification.
