A British Law Degree oriented to Sri Lankan practice

The law training programme at APIIT Law School leading to LLB ( Hons) Law degree awarded by Staffordshire University, UK is unique; students learn not only the British Law with reference to Sri Lankan legal practice, but also a few Sri Lankan law modules.

An optional work experience project in the local legal environment is designed to increase students’ interaction with leading practitioners and extend their learning in the classroom to the profession. This allows ours graduates to develop themselves as effective legal practitioners in Sri Lanka with an inter nat i o n a l perspective to legal practice.

APIIT Law School is a vibrant place to pursue legal studies; high quality teaching and learning is supported by modern technology.

Students are taught to leverage IT to improve their learning and are provided with unlimited access to computer laboratories, the Internet, and online databases such as Westlaw-UK, Lexis Library-UK and E-law web application. The overall goal is to produce a new breed of IT savvy legal practitioners who will bring creativity and innovation to their practice.

Our British LLB (Hons) Law degree programme is so much more than the law. It is one of the most versatile training programmes. It teaches you to think differently; to challenge and debate; to research and analyse; to take decisions based on facts; to negotiate; and obviously to operate within a legal framework.

Further, we appreciate that Law should be learnt in a practical context. That’s why our Law students visit the courts and parliament, debate legal topics, and take part in mock trials and mooting competitions in addition to their classroom work.

From careers in the legal profession to international diplomacy; business management to entrepreneurship; and politics to academia, the opportunities for our graduates are truly endless.

We are pleased to invite you to visit our Law School to see the facilities, meet with the staff, and experience first-hand the excellent academic environment we have created for a high quality learning experience.
