Law PGCert
Create a personalised postgraduate degree. You will choose from our wide range of specialist, practically-relevant modules to study areas that interest you
The Postgraduate Certificate in Law (PGCert) allows you to design your own postgraduate course according to your interests and needs. You will choose three modules from our wide range of options.
You will study this course full-time for 5 months. Alternatively, the course can be studied part-time as a one-year degree. This flexibility allows you to combine your postgraduate studies with other commitments.
Our Law PGCert offers a wide variety of law modules in different specialist areas.
There are options in:
- corporate law
- commercial law
- competition law
- international trade law
- international civil and commercial litigation
- international dispute resolution
- international investment law
- intellectual property law
- insolvency law
- digital evidence
- environmental law
- climate change law
- water law
- human rights law and corporate responsibility
- private international law
- privacy, cyber security and surveillance
In addition to specialist modules delivered by our staff, there are options in oil and gas or energy law. These are offered by the Centre for Energy, Petroleum and Mineral Law and Policy. You can also choose options from business, politics, international relations and geography.
Students also often combine topics from different legal areas. For example, you could combine an understanding of corporate and commercial law with environmental law. Or you could combine an understanding of commercial law with human rights law.
The wide choice of modules allows you to develop existing areas of specialisation. You can also expand your knowledge into new areas of law that you have not studied or practised before. You will also develop your skills in critical thinking and writing, which are skills that will be helpful in all areas of your life.
