The 129-credit programme includes lectures, tutorials, assessments, legal research, academic materials and moot court exercises, all conducted in English. Structured in alignment with UAE Ministry of Education requirements and University of London academic standards, the programme offers a distinctive legal education for students seeking both a UAE law degree and a UK law degree while studying entirely in Dubai.
