Wide range of options for students

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.

LL.B Degree / Certificate in Higher Education in the Common Law

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 Attorneys- atLaw exams.

Cert i f i c ate 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 HE. CL 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.
