Timescales

Timescales are flexible according to your personal and professional needs and the choice of full, part-time or distance learning can enable you to fit study around your personal and work life. On average, both parts of the qualification can be achieved within four years of part-time study.

If your prior qualifications do not mean that you are already exempt, the ILEX Level 3 Professional Diploma in Law and Practice can typically take two years to complete by part-time study. The ILEX Level 6 Professional Higher Diploma in Law qualification is equivalent to honours degree level and is also typically studied part-time over a period of two years.

Remember, you are likely to be working and studying at the same time, which means that you are earning a valuable salary income from the outset, thereby avoiding the hefty future debts incurred by full-time university law students.
