Our advanced diplomas are professional development postgraduate courses. They are accredited independently by The Honorable Society of King’s Inns. King’s Inns, the only Inn of Court in Ireland, and the Inns of Court in the UK have a long–established and recognised role in providing recognised legal education in Common Law jurisdictions worldwide. 

The skills and competence gained in studying at King’s Inns are transferable, portable and recognised internationally. It is a valuable qualification delivered by distinguished lawyers, members of the judiciary, legal and other practitioners specialising in legal education. 

Some of our advanced diplomas are accredited by other professional organisations, with some offering CPD credits to their members. Please check individual course pages for further information.

All courses are suitable for those in full–time employment with many classes recorded and available to watch after class during your own time. Live interactive sessions usually take place early morning, evening, or the weekend. 

Recorded lectures are available to view online via 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.

Many of our courses are suitable for people with a non–legal background, attracting a range of professionals from different industries in Ireland and internationally.
