Students should secure minimum B grade (80%) in these Pre-LLM courses or alternatively pass a challenge exam provided by the UD LLM faculty. However, it is up to the discretion of the Director of the College of Law to decide which of these five courses a highly qualified individual needs to take, after having carefully reviewed the individual’s education history, experience and skills, in order to qualify for access to the LLM program. In case these courses are offered in other law programs in UAE, students might be granted exemption for the particular Pre-LLM course.
