Wide range of options for students

- LL.B Degree / Certificat­e in Higher Education in the Common Law Qualified Lecturers Opportunit­ies More career developmen­t options Subject options Track Record

All students with A/Levels in Arts, Science, Commerce or Maths can get opportunit­ies in the legal sector, which is a multi-disciplina­ry subject, and it’s only the CfPS Law School that offers students this wide range of options.

The CfPS Law School is a Registered Centre of the University of

London and it will commence an intake on 21st of March 2018 for the LL.B. Programme/ Certificat­e in Higher Education in the Common Law – earlier known as Diploma in Law - of the University of London. This degree will enable students to enter Sri Lanka Law College and to do their Attorneysa­t-Law exams.

Certificat­e in Higher Education in the Common Law (HE.CL) is for students, who do not meet the entry requiremen­t for the LL.B degree, because they are just after O/L, are pending A/Level results or because their A/L grades do not meet the entry requiremen­ts. The HECL Certificat­e is equal to the first year of the LL.B. and students qualifying the diploma proceed to the second year of the LL.B.

Located in the heart of Colombo at No. 151, Dharmapala Mawatha, CfPS Law School has experience­d and talented lecturers who are academics and practition­ers. Students can either join the full time LL.B/ Cert.HE in Common Law or the part time LLB programme held during the weekends.

Students joining CfPS Law School’s Programmes are offered a variety of opportunit­ies. Among them is the Internship Programme, where students in the 2nd and 3rd years are given the opportunit­y of being with senior members of the legal profession. There is a vibrant student life at CfPS. The CfPS Mooting and Debating Society and Toast Masters Club offer students an opportunit­y to improve their legal and court room skills preparing them for the legal profession. Students are taken on visits to Parliament and the Courts.

The prestigiou­s University of London LL.B offers students an opportunit­y not only to enter the legal profession, but also develops many other skills that are useful in employment.

Those in many other fields such as medicine, engineerin­g, accountanc­y, management and marketing look to a law qualificat­ion to enhance their knowledge on legal matters, which they come across in their work.

The University of London is one of the United Kingdom’s world class Universiti­es and several of its Colleges including the King’s College, the University College of London and the London School of Economics are ranked among the top Universiti­es in the world.

The CfPS Law School has opened an massive door to the Sri Lankan youth to gain a prestigiou­s, celebrated law degree for a comparativ­ely affordable price, which otherwise would cost millions of rupees.
