If you are a student from outside the UK looking for an international study experience to broaden your mind, challenge your intellect and bring you into contact with some of the best academic lawyers and brightest law students in Europe, the Certificate in English Law is for you. This programme is designed for two groups of students: * Law students in countries that do not belong to the common law family * Students of subjects other than law studying anywhere in the world who wish to learn about English and European law The aim is to familiarise you with the main elements of the English legal system in one intensive year running from September to June the following year. The time to apply is early in the academic year before that which you plan to spend in Birmingham. You study alongside our LLB students on the same modules and are assessed and examined in the same way. This provides you with the challenge of adjusting to a different system and competing within it. Every student at Birmingham has a personal tutor, who provides guidance about the programme and helps them monitor their progress. There is an orientation course for international exchange students before the programme begins.
