Appendix D – Transfer from the LLM (Old Regulations)
Appendix D should be read in conjunction with section 10 of the Detailed regulations.
Registration for the LLM (Old Regulations) has now discontinued. The final effective date of registration for the
LLM (Old Regulations) was 1 September 2004 with the final examinations in 2009.
1.The following rules apply to students who are registered for the LLM (Old Regulations)(all registrations for
the LLM (Old Regulations) have now expired)
and
whose first period of registration has ceased
or
whose registration has been terminated within three years of their application to register for the LLM,
Postgraduate Diploma in Laws and the Postgraduate Certificate in Laws.
All other applications to register will be considered on an individual basis and at the discretion of the
University.
2.Students who are transferring to, or enrolling for, the LLM, Postgraduate Diploma in Laws or Postgraduate
Certificate in Laws will receive credit for subjects previously passed as indicated in this Appendix. One subject
is the equivalent to four modules. Students may be awarded credit for courses which are not available on the
LLM, Postgraduate Diploma in Laws and Postgraduate Certificate in Laws and are therefore not listed in
Appendix A.
3. Any ‘Fail’ results received by students whilst registered for the LLM (Old Regulations), and the number of
attempts previously made, will not be carried forward on transfer/enrolment.
4. Students who have passed one subject whilst registered for the LLM (Old Regulations) will be permitted to
transfer/enrol for the LLM, Postgraduate Diploma in Laws and Postgraduate Certificate in Laws.
5. Students who have passed two subjects whilst registered for the LLM (Old Regulations) will be permitted to
transfer/enrol for the LLM and Postgraduate Diploma in Laws. Students will not be permitted to transfer/enrol
for the Postgraduate Certificate in Laws.
6. Students who have passed three subjects whilst registered for the LLM (Old Regulations) will be permitted
to transfer/enrol for the LLM only. Students will not be permitted to transfer/enrol for the Postgraduate
Certificate in Laws or the Postgraduate Diploma in Laws.
7. Students who have passed all four subjects under the LLM (Old Regulations) are governed by the LLM
(Old Regulations). They will not be permitted to transfer to the Postgraduate Laws Programme under any
circumstances. However, they may apply to register afresh for the Postgraduate Laws Programme.
8. Students transferring/enrolling for the Postgraduate Diploma in Laws or the LLM, under these
circumstances, will not be awarded the Postgraduate Certificate in Laws and/or the Postgraduate Diploma in
Laws for subjects previously passed on the LLM (Old Regulations).
9. Applications to transfer to, or enrol for, the LLM, the Postgraduate Diploma in Laws or the Postgraduate
Certificate in Laws, from all other students previously registered for the LLM (Old Regulations) will be
considered on an individual basis and at the discretion of the University.
10. The name of all previously passed subjects for which credit is given will appear on the student’s transcript.
The mark obtained at the examination at which the subject was passed will count towards the student’s
award.
11. Students receiving credit for subjects previously passed on the LLM (Old Regulations) will be informed
whether the credits awarded can contribute towards a particular specialisation or specialisations. Students
carrying credit for subjects that are not available on the LLM, the Postgraduate Diploma in Laws and the
Postgraduate Certificate in Laws may be unable to have a particular specialisation named on the final
certificate for the award.
12. Students who receive credit for subjects previously passed will not be permitted to enter the examination
again for that subject(s).
