The Certificate in Higher Education in Common Law (CertHE Common Law) from the University of London (UoL) is of international standing.

The subject called Legal Systems & Methods is compulsory for the first year of study. Students who complete the CertHE Common Law (120 credits) will be awarded the CertHE Common Law Certificate and will be able to transfer to year 2 of the Standard Entry LLB. Students who pass 90 credits will also be allowed to transfer the Standard Entry LLB but they will not subsequently be awarded the CertHE Common Law upon achieving 120 credits.
