Programmes and modules

Four programmes, one destination: the University of London LLB, taught in Dhaka and examined under London's regulations. What follows sets out what each programme covers, who it is built for, and which modules the Bar will later ask to see.

Programme catalogue

LLB (Hons) — Standard Entry

Awarded by the University of London

Duration: 3 – 6 years
Modules: 12 modules, 30 credits each
Entry: HSC or A Level; normally 17+
Next intake: November 2026 · sits May 2027

The main route, and the one most school-leavers take. Twelve modules across three levels, taught here and examined at a centre in Dhaka on London's own papers. Four are compulsory at Level 4; the rest you choose — and which ones you choose decides whether the Bar will accept the degree, so we choose them with you.

LLB (Hons) — Graduate Entry

Awarded by the University of London

Duration: 2 – 6 years
Modules: 9 modules, 30 credits each
Entry: Degree, normally with a master's
Next intake: November 2026 · sits May 2027

Three modules shorter, for anyone who already holds a degree. From Bangladesh London normally wants a bachelor's of at least two years together with a two-year master's, or a master's at CGPA 2.75 following a three-year pass or four-year bachelor's. No credit transfer is allowed onto this route: the nine modules are nine modules.

CertHE Common Law

Awarded by the University of London

Duration: 1 year, then the LLB
Modules: 4 Level 4 modules
Entry: Taught centre only
Next intake: November 2026

The way in for anyone London will not yet admit straight onto the LLB. Contract, Criminal, Public law and Legal system and method — the same four that open the degree. Pass three or more and London may carry them across onto the Standard Entry LLB, up to four Level 4 modules.

Credit transfer to the UK

A service, not a qualification

Duration: Applied for in your final year
Modules: Your passed modules, evidenced
Entry: Set by the receiving university
Next intake: UK cycle, January onward

We write to the universities on your shortlist with your transcript and module outlines, and hand you the answer in writing — including the refusals. Every UK university sets its own transfer rule and decides for itself. Nobody in Dhaka, us included, can promise you a place, and you should distrust anyone who does.

Module list

Three foundation subjects are optional in London's regulations

The Bar recognises seven foundation subjects. Three of them — Property law, EU law, and Equity and Trusts — are listed as optional by the University of London. A student can therefore pass a perfectly valid LLB and still hold a degree the Bar will not accept. Every module marked foundation below is optional on paper and compulsory in practice; we timetable all three.

LA1040	Contract lawWhen a promise becomes enforceable, what it is worth when it is broken, and why most of commercial life turns on the answer.	4	Compulsory
LA1010	Criminal lawWhat the state must prove before it may punish, and the line between an act, an intention and an accident.	4	Compulsory
