Hi

I am looking for a list of the Universities which offer part/full time evening courses in London.

Can anyone help please.

Thanks

King's offers a course on Sports Law in the evenings. It's for practitioners though, and you don't get an LLM but a "Postgraduate Diploma" or something like that.
I don't know if there are any other courses similar to it in London, just try and browse universities' websites.
If you only have time in the evenings, why don't you consider distance learning? Edinburgh has a very interesting LLM programme that you can do via distance learning (Innovation, Technology and the Law). I think you might even still be able to apply for 2005/06.

Good luck
Nicky

Hi Shaparak. Listen to Nicky! Her advice is very sound. Distance learning is an excellent option for you.

Why distance learning? Well you can access the programme via any Internet connection. Since you are already posting on the LL.M-Guide forums, it's safe to assume that you have some form of web access!

As a distance learning student you will have access to a huge range of electronic journals, law databases and other online resources. You may even receive your very own, yours-to-keep, copy of key text books via the post. So you don't have to search too hard for the important readings - it's either online or on your desk!

Flexibility of study is also another important advantage. You are not required to attend classes on-campus. You are able to log in at the time it suits you best - in your case, Shaparak, that sounds like the evenings.

A part-time LL.M via distance learning (and on-campus) will take (at the University of Edinburgh) 24 months. In this time you are requested to complete six modules. Each module requires in the region of 200 hours to complete. You will also go on to complete a 10,000 word dissertation. This is estimated to take 600 hours to complete. That brings a total for a full LL.M programme to around 1800 hours. Over two years, that's an average of 17 hours per week.

That average isn't particularly practical because there are other factors to take into account such as holidays and asymmetric module combinations, but it gives you an idea.

I'm sure that University distance learning programmes may be open to further applications, but I'm not sure of any other details other than here at the University of Edinburgh. If you contact admission offices via email you should get a quick answer. Glasgow run a popular Medical Law course and Strathclyde run an IT Law programme both via distance learning.

The LL.M that Nicky mentions (Innovation, Technology and the Law - link for more details) is still accepting applications for 2005/06 entry until early August 2005.

Let me know if I can be of any further assistance to you Shaparak, and anyone reading this thread, with regards LL.M programme via distance learning at the University of Edinburgh.

All the best.
