This hugely popular Diploma is useful in providing the basic foundation
of legal knowledge relevant to working individuals and fresh graduates
regardless of whichever field they hail from. Actually, the Diploma is
equivalent to the first year (known as the Intermediate stage) of the
Bachelor of Laws - LL.B programme. Holders of this Diploma can proceed
directly to the second year (known as Final Part I) of the regular LL.B
programme.
This Course would interest:
Individuals who wish to practice as Advocates and
Solicitors, other than in Singapore (by continuing their studies to
complete the LL.B. degree);
Court clerks, police officers, legal secretaries who
require additional knowledge or qualifications for purposes of career
advancements;
Individuals with a personal or professional interest
in legal and contractual matters; or who have a specific interest such
as those in arbitration, human resource and the insurance industry
Course Outline:
It is 10 months programme consisting of four compulsory subjects:
Common Law Reasoning & Institutions, Law of Contract, Criminal Law
and Public Law, leading to examinations held in May/June every year.
Students may also opt to do two subjects each year over a period of two
years.
Regular Classes are conducted twice a week on Fridays, 6.30pm-8.45pm and
Saturdays, 2pm-5.30pm.
Please refer to our
Class Timetables for more information.
In addition, there would be an eight-weeks Intensive Revision Programme
held in Mar/Apr to prepare the students for the examinations, during
which time classes would be held four times a week, on Saturdays,
2pm-9.30pm; Sundays 10am-5pm; Mondays and Tuesdays 6.30pm-9.30pm.
Special classes / Talks by University Professors would be held from
time to time. There would also be two Mock Examinations held in
November and March every year to give the students an opportunity to
gauge their ability.
Students may also be asked to submit written assignments by their
lecturers during the course of study. These are purely intended to
monitor the students' progress during the course of study and would
have
no effect on the final examinations conducted by representatives of the
University of London.
Course Materials:
Textbooks for the four compulsory subjects will be provided by the
University of London upon payment of the Registration Fees. ITC would
provide lecture notes and other materials to complement the lectures /
tutorials. Students may access our library facilities to refer to other
textbooks or law reports. Students will also be
given user-ids and passwords to access our online learning portal, at
no additional cost.
Entry Requirements:
The student must be 18 years and above and demonstrate maturity to cope
with the course. Whilst there is no minimum academic requirement, the
University of London has appointed and given ITC-School of Laws the
discretion to accept students into the programme based on certain
guidelines, the general condition being that the student must show his
or her ability to study at this level and to attend classes at ITC.
