    Doing it myself at the moment. Great course. Foxy Constitutional Law lecturer who knows her subject, great lecturers for subjects like Constitutional, Criminal, Tort, and EU law. IThe requiremnt is a 2 : 2 undergraduate degree. I applied in late July 2006 and got in, which was really lucky. I wouldnt advocte you waiting so long, I just happened to be lucky. No legal skills required, you get a course in Core Legal skills which is useful. I have four essays this term and three next which is a bit of a bummer. Only drawback is that the hours suit the barristers who lecture us, and thus the hours can be quite erratic. On tuesdays i have my first lecture at 9-11am and my next one from 4pm-6pm which kinda sucks.

    It is a good stepping stone and it can lead you towards a variety of paths. Furthermore, you can apply to do a masters in Law after the Diploma. I wuld highly reccomed the course
