Does anyone know of any short courses (3-6 months), in the field of law of course, in UK Universities starting January or February?

Basically, I m returning to the UK in October for studies and I would like to know whether there is a 'filler' course I could do in the meanwhile (since my plans for this short period have been cancelled).

What field of law interests you? Each school has its own specialty so it's best to be specific on your enquiry.

Anything only weakly related to commercial law would do; ie from shipping to banking, competition etc..That's why i did not specify.
But i would like to leave the question as it is, and not limit it down to commercial-related degrees, because it might be useful for other people in here.

From my experience, there are no courses that match the description that I have given above [related or not to commercial law]. If anyone is aware of some, please state them here. Thanks! :)

The London Business School may have some short-term executive education courses all year round. These are exclusively business or finance-related courses. http://www.london.edu/executiveeducation.html

You may also wish to check the Summer School and the newly-opened Executive Summer School of the London School of Economics which will offer courses starting June 2009 in the diverse fields of Accounting, Finance, Law, Economics, International Relations and Management.
