Sometimes we are asked by students who have just completed their first degree at a UK university whether they can apply to take an undergraduate law degree. If you want to be lawyer then you need to take the required professional 'conversion' courses to enable you to practise law. If you are interested in law related further study then a masters course with legal content might be an option.

Yes, applicants with earned undergraduate degrees may apply but must have fulfilled the same prerequisites for admission. In addition, the entire three-year professional program must still be completed because it consists of professional courses not completed by admitted students.

It depends on the course you select, but it usually takes three years. If you decide to do a sandwich course or one with a foreign language, it takes four years. A full course in Scotland also lasts four years. If you want to study architecture or medicine, your course will take between five and seven years.

You may submit your application before completing your degree as long as you have satisfactorily completed it by August 31st of the year of admission.

Yes. Prior to enrollment at our law school, a student must have received a baccalaureate degree from a four-year accredited institution. You must have completed the equivalent of 90 semester hours.

Degree and degree program information (http://uwf.edu/catalog/deg.htm) is available online. Undergraduate advisors have a web site at the http://uwf.edu/survey/enrollment/success/advising/advising.htm address.

Not everyone who takes a law degree becomes a solicitor or a barrister. However to become a solicitor you must take a course called the Legal Practice Course ("LPC") and to become a barrister you must take the Bar Vocational Course ("BVC"). This happens after you have completed your degree.

The University of London External law degree is the leading law degree as compared with other law degrees issued by U.K. universities.

No. You will need to have at least a bachelor's degree by the time you enter the program, but you do not need to have completed your degree at the time of application. Please send the most current transcript available when you apply. If you are admitted, a final transcript will be required.

No, students may apply prior to completing an undergraduate degree but they must be able to complete the undergraduate degree by the end of the first Fall semester after admission. For YSU students, this means completing the degree in 3 1/2 years, which may require courses to be taken in earlier summers.

No. Your undergraduate degree can be in any field, provided your grade-point average is high (the average undergraduate G.P.A. for admitted MMH students has been 3.3.) In fact, only a small number of MMH students studied hospitality as an undergraduate - most students come into the program with social science or traditional business degrees.

Yes you can, but you must pass a qualification test conducted by the Bar Council of India for this purpose. For detailed information on the recognition process, and the list of UK Universities that the Bar Council recognises, visit the Recognition of Foreign Degrees section on the site.

Although the BCPSS seeks candidates with education degrees, it recognizes that individuals with content area degrees (Math, Science, English, History, Foreign Languages etc.) who desire to teach should be considered and given an opportunity. In collaboration with the BCPSS, three alternative certification programs allow non-education majors to teach while working towards their certification. For additional information go to www.bcteachingresidency.org

Students who are seeking a second undergraduate degree do not have to fulfill the ISUComm Foundation Courses (First-Year Composition) requirement unless their undergraduate degree was earned from an institution outside the United States or from a non-English institution in the United States. A waiver must be processed for these students. Students who are in graduate school do not have to fulfill the ISUComm Foundation Courses (First-Year Composition) requirement.

Colleges and universities award degrees that require students to take either undergraduate courses (1000-4000) or graduate-level courses (5000 and above). Students can earn the following degrees:

Just laws are those that protect the person and property of peaceful individuals -- for example, laws against rape. Unjust laws are those that infringe upon the freedom of peaceful individuals -- for example, laws against consensual adult sex acts. (back to top)

Yes. A little extra course work is required, but most of the course work is contained in the prerequisites to the College and in selected courses in the main academic program. The bachelor's degree can be completed within the 10 trimesters of the doctor of chiropractic program.

One of the biggest reasons people go to law school is "because you can do so many things with a law degree". For most of these people, this translates as "I really don't know what to do with my life, and going to law school will postpone that decision for at least three years." Frankly, we couldn't think of a worse reason to go to law school, or become a lawyer. If your goal in life is to do something other than practice law, go ahead and do that something.

We will not normally admit an applicant with less than two years work experience, because (i) we believe you will get a great deal more out of the programme if you come to SMU with prior work experience, and (ii) we are seeking candidates who can contribute to the programme based on their past experience, thereby enriching the programme for other participants.

No, we recruit people from a wide range of disciplines, not just law. However it is preferable to have some legal training or an intention to pursue some training/education in this regard.
