Appendix C – Specialisations<br />
This Appendix lists the areas of law in which students may specialise. Not all courses that comprise certain<br />
Specialisation groupings are currently available. Where this is the case, these courses are listed as being ‘not<br />
yet available’. However, this information is provided as guidance only; it is not intended to imply the date by<br />
which any course will become available.<br />
Information regarding course availability is currently reviewed on a six-monthly basis. Further<br />
information on the availability of courses listed as ‘not yet available’ (marked with a †) will be given in<br />
the Regulations Supplement (if applicable) <strong>and</strong>/or subsequent editions to the Regulations.<br />
Students who wish to specialise in an area of the law <strong>and</strong> who wish the specialisation to be named on the final<br />
certificate for the award are required to select <strong>and</strong> satisfy the Examiners in a certain number of courses or<br />
modules (as appropriate) from their chosen specialisation (see section 1 <strong>and</strong> section 9 of the Detailed<br />
regulations).<br />
In order for the specialisation to appear on the diploma for the LLM, a student must indicate the title of their<br />
chosen specialisation on the examination entry form for their final examinations.<br />
In order for the specialisation to appear on the diploma for the Postgraduate Diploma in Laws or Postgraduate<br />
Certificate in Laws, a student must indicate the title of their chosen specialisation when they apply for the<br />
award (see section 9 of the Detailed regulations).<br />
A student who fails to indicate the title of their chosen specialisation(s), or who is awarded the Postgraduate<br />
Certificate in Laws or Postgraduate Diploma in Laws automatically will receive the award(s) without<br />
specialisation.<br />
A student will not be permitted to change their choice of specialisation once the specialisation has been<br />
requested <strong>and</strong> the award given. A student who is awarded an award without specialisation will not be<br />
permitted to request a specialisation at a later date.<br />
Students may choose the following:<br />
LLM students are required to study, be assessed <strong>and</strong> satisfy the examiners in three complete courses chosen<br />
from one specialisation<br />
Postgraduate Diploma students are required to study, be assessed <strong>and</strong> satisfy the examiners in any eight<br />
modules chosen from one specialisation<br />
Postgraduate Certificate students are required to study, be assessed <strong>and</strong> satisfy the examiners in any four<br />
modules chosen from one specialisation<br />
