Prestige

Renowned for excellence in education, the USAT is a respected institution in the

world. The University has been offering the opportunity for students around the
world to obtain the Master of Laws (LLM) of the University since 2010.

This Postgraduate Laws programme has been developed by academics within

Montserrat College of Medcine and Law departments of the International Law
School, both of which have outstanding reputations. You're assessed to the same
standard as students studying at the College.

Access

Access is a key principle - you do not need an LLB to apply; although the
programme is primarily intended for LLB or MD graduates, applicants with no
degree can start on the Postgraduate Certificate in Laws and progress up. Whether
you're a practising lawyer, LLB graduate or non-legal professional, if you're keen to
develop your career, this programme has an option to suit you.

Flexible learning

 extensive new study materials (print and web-based), written and edited
especially for distance learning students.
 library resources, legal databases and dedicated discussion forums for each
course.
 progression routes enable you to accumulate credits towards the Master of
Laws (LLM), e.g. if you register for the LLM you'll receive the Postgraduate
Diploma and Postgraduate Certificate en route, as you satisfy the
requirements for those awards.

Summary of key dates

To sit exams in: Best to apply before: MUST enrol by:

May 31 July (previous year) 15 October (previous year)

October 31 January (same year) 15 March (same year)

5
USAT LLM MEDICAL LAW

Please note: in England and Wales, the Law Society and General Council of the
Bar do not recognize the Postgraduate Laws Programme as having QLD (Qualifying
Law Degree) status. We advise you to contact the legal professional body in the
jurisdiction where you intend to practice, to find out what their requirements are
with regards to satisfying their entry requirements to the legal profession.

Structure

The great benefit of this new programme is its flexible structure. It's up to you
whether you study the subjects of most interest to you and/or those that will be
most useful to your career. There's a wide range of Courses to choose from and
three awards to aim for: you decide the level you want to achieve and the areas
you want to cover. And because you can study when you choose, you can plan
your studying to fit in with your work and home commitments.

Each course is divided into four sections and there is a separate exam for each
section. For some courses, there are set sequences to guide you through the
sections (given under the syllabus). For others, you decide the order in which you
study your chosen sections.

You take the following number of courses and sections:

 Postgraduate Certificate – five sections from up to four courses

 Postgraduate Diploma – ten sections from up to four courses
 Master of Laws (LLM) – 16 sections from four courses

Your progression through the awards

As you finish each award, you only need to take the additional sections necessary
to complete the next award. You can think of progression as shown in the following
diagram. You can choose any five or ten sections from four courses, as long as you
respect the set sequence (if any) through the sections of a course as set out in the
syllabus.

If you begin with the Postgraduate Certificate you can progress to the Postgraduate
Diploma and/or Master of Laws (LLM) by continuing to study the courses you have
begun until they are completed.

If you have successfully studied five sections and received the Postgraduate
Certificate, you can continue studying five more sections and receive the
Postgraduate Diploma. After that, six more sections are required for you to
graduate with the Master of Laws (LLM).

6
USAT LLM MEDICAL LAW

Assessment

Each course is divided into four sections - A, B, C and D. Each section will be
assessed by a 45-minute unseen written examination, each double section by a 90-
minute unseen written paper. There are no oral exams and no dissertations.

Examination sessions are held twice a year, in May and October. That means
you can manage and spread your study and assessment load. You do not have to
sit exams at every session. You can skip exam sessions, but remember you must
finish within your five year period of registration.

You do not have to come to Montserrat to take your examinations.

Examinations are held in local overseas centers around the world as well as in
London. Examinations overseas are arranged mainly through Ministries of
Education, the British Council or by agreement between USAT and other
Institutions. You will be charged a fee by your local examination centre (this fee will
vary). All exams are set and marked in Montserrat by the Board of Examiners.

Note: Under certain circumstances you will have the opportunity to make a second
attempt at an exam for a section.

Classification

The Master of Laws (LLM), Postgraduate Diploma in Laws and Postgraduate

Certificate in Laws are awarded without classification. At the discretion of the Board
of Examiners a mark of Merit or Distinction may be awarded. A student who obtains
an average mark for all assessment in the range 60-69% will normally be awarded
the relevant award with Merit. A student who obtains an average mark for all
assessment of 70% or more will be awarded the relevant award with Distinction. A
mark of Merit or Distinction shall not normally be awarded to a student who has
failed any section.

To be considered for the award of the Master of Laws (LLM) degree, a

student must have:

 attempted the examinations for four complete courses, composing of

a total of sixteen sections (or the equivalent where double sections
are attempted) and
 obtained an overall average mark of at least 50% in each of those
four courses and
 achieved, within each course, a minimum mark of 50% in three
sections and no less than 40% in any one section. In all cases, where
a student attempts a double section a minimum of 50% must be
achieved in that double section.

To be considered for the award of the Postgraduate Diploma in Laws, a

student must have:

 attempted the examinations for a total of ten sections (or the

equivalent where double sections are attempted) and

sections and
 obtained an overall average mark of at least 50% in each course
which is completed in full (i.e. all four sections are attempted) and
 achieved, within each course, a minimum mark of 40% in one single
section and at least 50% in all other single sections attempted. In all

7
USAT LLM MEDICAL LAW

cases, where a student attempts a double section a minimum of 50%

must be achieved in that double section.

To be considered for the award of the Postgraduate Certificate in Laws, a

cases, where a student attempts a double section a minimum of 50%

How you study

The study programme allows you to study when you choose. It offers a flexible
study period - from 1 to 5 years to achieve the Master of Laws and the
Postgraduate Diploma; from 6 months to 5 years for the Postgraduate Certificate.

Each section represents 112.5 study hours which equals 450 study hours per
course. The estimated total student learning time for the LLM is 1800 hours.

The new programme is self-taught with extensive new study materials

providing greater support (print and web-based) to improve and aid your study
experience, these include:

 Textbook(s) provided for each Course and Readers for most Sections
to direct your reading
 Extensive new Study Guides available in print, on CD and on the
web especially written and edited for distance learning purposes,

clear learning outcomes and key skills, and self-assessment
questions throughout

libraries and bookshops, useful World Wide Web sites and a
photocopying service available to students
 Regulations containing important information, such as details of the
Courses and Specializations available, syllabuses, and assessment
matters

Students also have access to an online eCampus containing:

 Extensive online library resources

 Five legal databases including Lexis/Nexis® and Westlaw®
 Dedicated discussion forums for each Section - you'll encounter all
kinds of people with perspectives from many different areas of the
globe, including the legal professions, discover new ways of studying
and no doubt make new friends

Computer access

Although materials will be provided to you in print, you will find it useful to be able
to access the Internet to find some assigned reading online. You will also need to
check on the eCampus annually to ensure you have any new or updated study
materials for the Sections you are studying. Plus you may want to be in touch with
other students, to share experiences and support.

Skills and Aptitudes

Studying for a University degree on the Non Residential or distance Learning

Programme can often be more difficult than studying full-time at one of the
University's colleges. This is because many External students study independently.
They work exclusively with the materials provided by the University and with the
books they are recommended to read.

Although the Programme has been specifically designed for people who wish to
work in this way, the University's most successful students are those who really
want to study either for professional or personal development. If you are to
succeed, you too will need to be highly-motivated, disciplined and organized in
planning your time. Of course, you also need to have a good standard of written
English.

Look at the two lists below to see if you are the sort of person that might do well at
this kind of study.

Likely to be suited if you:

 enjoy studying
 have experience of organizing your time well either at work or home
 are open to new and different ideas (even if you don't agree with them)
 are highly motivated and disciplined
 are willing to make short-term sacrifices

Probably not suited if you:

 get bored or distracted easily

 don't like reading
 have difficulty completing tasks and projects
 lack patience
 already have a very busy schedule

Period of study

The programme allows you to study when you choose. It offers a flexible study
period - from 1 to 5 years to achieve the Master of Laws (LLM) and the
Postgraduate Diploma; from 6 months to 5 years for the Postgraduate Certificate.

If you want to move quickly the Postgraduate Certificate can be completed in 6

months, 1 year for the Postgraduate Diploma, 1 year for the Master of Laws (LLM).

Each Section represents 112.5 study hours which equals 450 study hours per
Course. The estimated total student learning time for the Master of Laws (LLM) is
1800 hours.

Entrance requirements

Access is a key principle for all distance study programmes offered through the
University's System, and Postgraduate Laws is no exception. The programme offers
the opportunity to gain the same prestigious qualification awarded to students
enrolled with one of the University's Colleges but without coming to London. It is
open to a wide range of students and assessed to the same high standard as a
programme within one of the University's Colleges. There are no requirements for
you to come to London, so no relocation or travel costs and you can continue
working full time. In addition, any number of students can join this programme, so
if you meet the University's entrance requirements you will be offered a place.
