Postgraduate study in Laws:

Master of Laws (LLM), Postgraduate Diploma and Postgraduate Certificate

Fees

The total fee for the LLM by External study is substantially less than the on-campus LLM fee for non-EU students and, of course, as an External student you do not have to pay to live in London and can continue to earn money while you study.

Flexible payment

You pay £600 once to register and then £340 for each Section as you study. Any fees paid for the Postgraduate Diploma or Postgraduate Certificate will be credited for higher level Postgraduate Laws study within your five-year registration period. If you wish you can pay the total fee for your course of study upfront.

The fees for the 2007 calendar year are as follows:

One-off Registration fee	£600
Fee per Section	£340

To receive the Postgraduate Certificate award you must successfully complete 5 Sections, so the total cost for the Postgraduate Certificate in Laws is £600 + (5 x £340 per Section) = £2,300

To receive the Postgraduate Diploma award you must successfully complete 10 Sections, so the total cost for the Postgraduate Diploma in Laws is £600 + (10 x £340 per Section) = £4,000

To receive the Master of Laws (LLM) award you must successfully complete 16 Sections, so the total cost for the Master of Laws (LLM) is £600 + (16 x £340 per Section) = £6,040

Additional fees payable to the University:

Exemption application fee £54 per section

Examination re-entry fee £32 per section

Fee for students who change their choice of sections £100 per section

Registration fee for students transferring from the LLM (Old Regulations) £300

Note that certain other costs may be payable to the University such as exam re-entry (resit) fees and fees for the production of official transcripts.

Flexible payment

You can pay the total fee upfront when you enrol or pay as you go, you choose. 'Pay as you go' is a way of spreading the cost by paying the registration fee when you enrol and then a section fee each time you are ready to begin studying a new section. Please note that all fees payable to the University are subject to annual review.

Other costs

Besides the fees payable to the University, you should budget for other costs including:

• the cost of any local educational support
• the extra fees levied by your local examination centre to cover their costs each time you sit an examination.
• a fee for the production of official transcripts
