All fees must be paid in pounds sterling, and may be paid either by a credit card recognised by Mastercard International or by the Visa group OR by banker's draft, cheque or UK postal order, made payable to 'The University of London' and crossed 'a/c payee'.
The fees you pay us cover the University administration costs and, when you register, for the materials you are sent as part of your introductory study package. In addition you will need to set aside money for other costs (see 'Other costs' below). For further information about different types of fees please see the Fees section of our website.
Other costs
Besides the fees payable to the University, you should budget for the cost of purchasing textbooks (this may well be in the region of £200 per year); the cost of any course or tuition you may or (for the Diploma) are required to take and the fee levied by your local examination centre to cover their costs.
Financial assistance
Students resident in the UK may be able to obtain a discretionary award to cover registration and examination fees from their local education authority to whom such inquiries should be addressed. Some employers, in both the public and the private sector, are also prepared to provide such funding. Both local education authorities and some other employers do from time to time provide financial assistance towards the cost of attending short courses.
The External System and King's College London have established a scholarship which is awarded annually to an LLB student who is a citizen of Malaysia. This scholarship was awarded for the first time in 1995. Funding for the scholarship comes from the External System and the successful applicant enters King's College London to complete Part I and Part II of their degree.
To whom is the scholarship open?
The scholarship is open to students sitting the Intermediate examination under Scheme A. It will be offered to the applicant who achieves the highest marks in the Intermediate examination (providing the applicant is taking the examination for the first time and their application is otherwise satisfactory).
What is the scholarship worth?
The successful student benefits from a scholarship of around £17,500 per annum. Further details are given with the application form.
How do I apply?
Details of how to apply are given in the Student Handbook sent to all registered students.
Note: King's College London has asked us to point out that the award of a scholarship place is exceptional and that they cannot normally consider other applications from External students wishing to transfer into the King's LLB in their second year of study. Students are asked not to contact King's College London directly in this respect or in connection with the scholarship, which will be administered by the External System Examinations Office.
