Notes:

  • In addition to the compulsory subject 'Common law reasoning and institutions', you choose three other subjects, only one of which may be another Intermediate subject.
  • Co and prerequisites, when required, are shown in brackets beside the appropriate subject(s). For example, you need to have already studied 'Land law' (prerequisite) if you want to choose 'Law of trusts' as an option - unless you are studying the Diploma over one year as a full-time student, in which case you would study 'Land law' (corequisite) at the same time as 'Law of trusts'.
