PREPARING YOU FOR A
LIFE IN LAW

Pre-Master's PROGRAMme:
INCLUDING DIPLOMA IN ENGLISH & INTERNATIONAL LAW

SCL International College's Pre-Master's in Law programme is a three-term course designed for international students wanting to progress onto an LLM (Master of Laws) or other law-related Master’s degrees in the UK. It focuses on different aspects of UK and international law including the English legal system, contract law, law of tort, equity and trusts, and international law.

Course Content

Our methods of teaching encourage students to evaluate, analyse, and apply information, and to appreciate the relationship between theories and concepts and the real world of legal practice. You will learn how to improve your communication skills which will also help you in future employment scenarios, such as delivering effective presentations and making a good impression at interviews.

We appreciate that for students whose first language is not English, achieving the necessary IELTS score to meet university entry requirements is a daunting prospect. Throughout our programme, you will receive six hours tuition of Academic English per week which is specifically focused on the IELTS test.

As an integral part of the programme, students are given one-to-one assistance in choosing and applying to law related master's courses at UK universities. External expert speakers supplement the teaching programme and we also arrange trips to universities and other places of specific interest to law students such as the Courts of Justice and the chambers of legal firms.

This Pre-Master's in Law course will enhance your chances of securing a place at a good university and also give you a strong foundation for success once you get there.

This programme provided a great foundation, giving me the skills I needed for studying at university and helping me step by step with the process of choosing the right university.

 

-- Sammy from Canada

is currently studying at Reading University

As an international student my biggest concern was the language barrier. Whenever I asked a question, the teacher always answered patiently, which really increased my confidence. And when I made my applications to universities, my mentor always coordinated everything smoothly and swiftly.

 

-- Lijia from China

is currently enrolled at the University of Birmingham

I thought the first year in Britain would be a very difficult time, but the school days were fantastic for me. My teachers answered all my questions, gave advice and helped me with college applications. I also met friends from different countries on campus. Dormitories and schools are conveniently located in the same building so I didn’t have to worry about traffic jams. Overall, my English level has been greatly improved during the school year and I have been more integrated into life in the UK.
