Paralegal (graduate certificate)

Admission Requirements: Admission follows one of three pathways set out on the programme page. Applicants may qualify with a law-related diploma (law and security administration, law clerk advanced, or police foundations) or degree (criminology, legal or justice studies, public policy) at a minimum 2.7 grade point average; or with any other diploma or degree that included at least three law-related courses, again at a minimum 2.7 GPA; or, absent either credential, with at least three years of related industry experience documented in a professional resume and letter of intent. The page asks for proof of English-language proficiency without stating its own test scores, so English follows Durham College's institution-wide requirement for graduate certificates: IELTS Academic 6.5 with no band below 6.0, TOEFL iBT 4.5 overall with no section below 4.5, PTE Academic 60 with no section below 57, CAEL 70 with no section below 70, or Duolingo English Test 120.
