The College of Law has unveiled a new course that will enable students to sit the New York Bar exam.

From September, students sitting the full-time Graduate Diploma in Law programme who go on to complete either the Legal Practice Course (LPC) or Bar Professional Training Course (BPTC) will be able to take the New York Bar Exam after an additional 22-week study programme.

The programme, which includes electives in US business and securities law, will be available either at one of the College's London centres or, subject to negotiations, in the US at the Northwestern University Law School in Chicago, with which the College of Law has formed a strategic partnership.
