We are a University of London Recognised Teaching Centre. Being granted Recognised Teaching Centre status by the University of London means that in the view of the University, we demonstrate a sustained commitment to developing excellence in respect of teaching, support to students and administrative processes.

SZABIST Recognised Teaching Centre provides its students the opportunity to study with one of the best faculty, many members of which work in the most prominent law firms and corporations. Students, thus, get an opportunity to gain an insight into the real world workings of the legal system while simultaneously getting the finest academic direction.

Appreciating the rising importance of technology in the legal field, we provide our students the opportunity to study in SZABIST’s smart labs. This enables students to have access to the University of London’s Virtual Learning Environment consisting of online study materials and library during their class, making it a more comprehensive learning experience.

Our various co-curricular activities provide students an insight into the practical needs of Pakistan’s legal system and equip them with the research, leadership, communication and teamwork skills required to become competent professionals who will be the solution to its problems.

WHY CHOOSE SZABIST RECOGNISED TEACHING CENTRE

SZABIST, a Recognised Teaching Centre of the University of London, is delighted to be granted Certificate Teaching Status by the University of London which enables us to offer another route to the LLB Degree through the Certificate of Higher Education in Common Law (CertHE).

Certificate of Higher Education in Common Law (CertHE) is a qualification in its own right that also provides an entry route to degree-level study. It is ideal if you are ready to study for a degree but do not have the qualifications usually required to enter.

SZABIST now offers an opportunity to students with Intermediate (HSC) or O/A Level grades short of the requirement for LLB to begin with the UoL Law Degree as CertHE in Year One and those willing to continue can transfer to the LLB thereon and can complete the LLB in a total of three years.

CertHE Common Law students will take the same 4 modules that are a part of the 1st year course of the LLB. The only difference, then, is that the CertHE students will receive additional tuitions in English Language and Study Skills to support them with the precisions of the course.
