Diploma in the Common Law

Assessment

The core compulsory subject Common Law Reasoning and Institutions has a research and essay writing element which must be undertaken during the year in which that subject is studied and which is examined at the end of the year.

Optional subjects are assessed by one three-hour unseen written examination. You do not have to come to London to take your examinations. Examinations are held in May/June at local centres in over 180 different countries as well as in London (please see the Examinations section of our website for further details).

Examinations are marked by University of London-approved academics to ensure your work is assessed to the same standard as College-based students of the University.
