The Bachelor in Law (LLB) (Πτυχίο Νομικής (LLB)) at UCLan Cyprus is a degree that can provide students with the basis to undertake the next stage of training as a barrister (the Bar Professional Training Course) or in becoming a solicitor in England and Wales.
The program has also been recognized as a qualifying law degree by the Cyprus Legal Council and was recently re-validated by the Cyprus Agency of Quality Assurance and Accreditation in Higher Education (CYQAA).
Exclusive in Cyprus, LLB graduates from UCLan Cyprus shall obtain the same qualifying law degree, with identical rights, privileges and entitlements, as any LLB graduate from an English or Welsh university. As a result, graduates will have the opportunity to sit their professional law exams in London, for instance, without having to return to university in order to obtain a qualifying law degree first.
The Bachelor in Law (LLB) (Πτυχίο Νομικής (LLB)), unique to Cyprus, blends the English legal heritage with current English and Cyprus law. For the benefit of our local students, education on the two systems is combined within the modules and, in those instances, where the law is very different, separate Cyprus law modules are provided.
Thus, local students will graduate not only with an outstanding knowledge of both English and Cyprus law, but also have knowledge of all legal terminology in both English and Greek. It is important to note that the course has been designed in such a way so that students can avoid, if they want, all instruction in Cyprus law, be taught entirely in the English language and follow a regular English LLM curriculum.
