Advanced Diploma

LSLPE Advanced Diploma programmes sit at Level 5 and run 12 to 15 months across on-campus, online and distance routes. The qualifications carry credit transfer into UK Bachelor's top-up programmes and are mapped to UK professional-body competencies relevant to each department - the Bar Standards Board and CILEX for law; the Political Studies Association and CIPFA for politics and public policy; the Royal Economic Society and IFS-aligned themes for economics; and the ODI and IDS-aligned themes for PPE and development streams. Every Advanced Diploma functions both as an articulation route and as a senior-track credential in its own right.
