All courses are suitable for those in full–time employment, with classes taking place early morning, evening, or the weekend. Many lectures are delivered live online as well as recorded for viewing at a later stage through our Virtual Learning Environment, where lecture notes and supplemental reading are provided ahead of class time.

Online tutorials and IT support are available to help students navigate their way through our library and legal resource databases.

Each course is delivered by an array of visiting speakers from the legal, business and communication industries, including senior members of the judiciary. They are all willing to share their vast knowledge and experience with our students. 

Graduates of our courses work in many areas: law, business, HR, politics, communications, designing and governing policy, the public sector, and teaching the next generation of lawyers.
