Overview

English Name: Institute of Law Jersey
Founded: 2008
Institution Type: College
Control Type: Private

Institute of Law Jersey is a law school and charity incorporated by the Royal Court of Jersey in 2008 and registered with the Jersey Charity Commission under number 126.

It teaches from the Turner Building on the Highlands College campus in St Saviour and lists University College Jersey in its address. Classes are face to face and mostly held in the evenings and at weekends, so students can combine study with work.

Its programmes include the LLB through standard-entry and graduate-entry routes, a Certificate of Higher Education in Common Law, a Graduate Diploma in Commercial Law, preparation for the Solicitors Qualifying Examination, and the Jersey Law Course, the professional route to qualifying as a Jersey advocate or solicitor. The institute also publishes information on a Guernsey Bar Course.

It says many of its programmes carry international accreditation and refers to its LLB as a University of London LLB.

Because Jersey has no degree-awarding university of its own, qualifications are validated by outside universities. Applicants should check the institute's website for current entry requirements, fees and scholarship offers.
