Postgraduate Diploma in Law (PGDL )
Postgraduate Diploma in Law (PGDL) is a law programme designed for both candidates who studied law in their undergraduate degree and those candidates who wish to develop their career in law no matter what subject they gained in their original degrees. The PGDL aims to give students a firm grounding in the principles of law – not just knowledge of the law itself but also (and just as importantly) developing the essential skills of legal analysis, research and presentation. Once completed successfully, the Postgraduate Diploma in Law programme allows graduates to proceed to a master degree (for those who had no qualification for direct entry into master programme) or become legal officers, arbitrators, mediators, corporation secretaries, etc. as the case may be.

Once completed successfully, the Postgraduate Diploma in Law programme allows graduates to proceed to a master degree (for those who had no qualification for direct entry into master programme) or become legal officers, arbitrators, mediators, corporation secretaries etc.
Candidates must satisfy the examiners in three approved courses (the examination may be by coursework and/or examination papers) and a Viva voce (if done by course work), where the examiners so require.
