Diploma in Legal Studies
The Diploma in Legal Studies is a one-year full-time programme. It is open only to students coming to the faculty on exchanges from our partner universities in continental Europe.
The Diploma is not a degree and confers no qualification for legal practice. However, the Diploma programme is substantially derived from the Oxford undergraduate law degree programme. In your three terms, you choose and study three courses from a subset of those studied in the BA programme. And you sit an examination in each of them (the same examinations as the BA students) at the end of your third term.
Diploma in Legal Studies admissions are handled by our partner universities in the first instance. It is not possible to make an independent application.

• Our undergraduate handbook (pdf), which explains in more detail what to expect as a law student in Oxford.
• The current Law Faculty lecture list, including this year's diet of lectures and seminars for BA courses. Tutorials are not shown on this list because they are scheduled by individual tutors in consultation with individual students.
• Queries about the programme should be directed to the Institute of European and Comparative Law, which administers our exchange programmes.
