Exemptions (criteria)

You can be considered for exemption if you satisfy all of the criteria given below. (If you are already an External student, the University cannot consider you for exemption from a particular subject if you have already entered the examination for that subject.)

1. You are eligible to be registered for the LLB.

2. You are suitably qualified.

• You must have passed examinations which compare in level, content and standard to the examinations for the one or more (to a maximum of four) Intermediate subjects.

• The University do not give exemptions on the basis of 'O' or 'A' levels, or other similar school-leaving examinations.

• To apply for an automatic exemption, you must satisfy all the criteria for one of the qualifications listed (see automatic exemptions).

3. You have passed the whole of the qualification/s on which your application for exemption is based within the five years preceding the application.

4. You have already received the final award for that qualification/s.

• If you have not yet received the award, your exemption application will be considered under the exemption regulations that apply at the time that the award is finally made. These regulations may be different to those that apply at the time you submitted your application.
• Applications for exemption from examinations in the following year will only be considered if your qualification is awarded before the application deadline in the year before (i.e. 17 September for non-EU residents and 17 October for EU residents).

5. You must have studied for your qualification at one institution
