its LLB examinations have been available to external students throughout
the world. The LLB degree of the University of London is a prestigious
qualification in law of international standing, and has provided the first
step on a career route for many thousands of practising lawyers around
the world. Academic management of the University of London External LLB

including:

School of Economics and Political Science
